you first need to get the specs of the wheels (width and offsets). that will give you the flush of tucked look when you lower the car...the lower you go, the lower the offset you will need to give it a flush look...

Using 20" wheels with 9.5 (F) & 10.5 (R) you can use low teen offsets. Depending on how low you want to go Tein 350Z H-Tech will lower your coupe 1" on all four corners and you'll retain the factory ride. The Tein S-Techs will drop you down another 1/2" but the ride will diminish. Keep in mind lowering your G will require you're getting a complete camber kit plus an alignment so your tires will last. Springs + SPL Camber kit + Install = $1K+ FYI.

That's whyim going with springs rather than coils. I want comfort dont really care about performance, on the highway a lot so would 350z tien htechs be better than g35 tien s tech

@Bludevils95, with your tanabe springs do you need a camber kit?
