Pic Request: Lowered on OEM 19" rims
Both of the BS coupes look great lowered. I was planning on lowering mine, as well. However, after having had my G for 2 months, I notice I am already scrapping on certain driveways and speed bumps.

I thought that "Do it once, but do it right" philosophy was a way to go. Especially having a semi-luxury car like G35 ...
What is everyone's opinion on that matter?

Exactly what I was planning on doing. Any difference in the drop? Which RSR springs did you install? And of course, any additional side pics from a distance?
Nice looking rides BTW.

Didn't really get all that much lower, but it sorta looks like the front is lower than the back...

Took me about 5 hours to install. But that was before I figured out to remove the upper part of the suspension for the front. Back was super easy.

I personally think that lowering the car on the OEM 19's makes the tire/wheel setup look smaller in the wheel-well and gives the car on out-of-porportion appearence. I believe the pictures posted give evidence to this.
It's not in Tinman's league but I like it!
