Thumbs up New to the forum

Hello everyone I am new to this forum. I purchased an 05 G35 coupe last December and I LOVE IT. My brother has a G37S as well. So far I have added a set of Tanabe NF210 lowering springs and a Fujita5 intake. In the near future I'm adding Tanabe swaybars, Bilsein performance shocks, headers, cams, intake manifold or spacers, High Flow Cats, catback exhaust, cross drilled rotors, 20 inch wheels, upgrade to 06-07 headlights, rear roof spoiler, carbon fiber rear diffuser, carbon fiber grill, kumura z front clip (bumper), diff cooler, quiafe diff just to name a few. I wish I new how to post pics. Although it's an automatic I have come to love the manual shifting capabilities. I'll keep you all posted.

Welcome to DRIVER B-Man, you have some grand plans for your coupe....^....but you're already in the pool without knowing how to swim. After installing the springs did you get an alignment? Did the mechanic let you know how far off OE specs you are? When we lower our cars camber kits are required so were not buying new tires every six months. Best camber kits can be found on our MARKETPLACE under vendor suspension. SPL camber kit will give you the best adjustability. Since you intend to upgrade to '06+ projectors get them soon, they've quit making them. I'm not referring to the trash on ebay but OE '06 projectors, they're worth the investment and will soon disappear!

If you're running an Auto, the VERY first thing you should be investing in is the transgo valvebody upgrade... ESPECIALLY if you like the manual shifting on the AT.

I don't have much to add about your cosmetic choices... as long as you know the look you're going for. I can't comment. Performance wise, just understand that you've put a bunch of stuff down that you either don't need, or won't actually come together without a tune... IF you're doing cams (not just something you slap in there) then you make the headers worthwhile... but without cams (remember, not something you just slap in there) they are expensive to install and barely add any power (compared to cost).

Just remember, each time you're adding something you're introducing parts that weren't designed to be used together and that otherwise trouble free platform suddenly becomes more problematic.

Not to discourage you- but you really need to keep yourself grounded. This isn't a platform you lob a bunch of parts at and gain 100hp. With everything you mentioned up there, with a tune... You'll be lucky to even put rated AT HP to the wheels.
