Cool This Is Driving Me CRAZY! i need input!

Ok, i'm gonna ask again, so please don't get frusterated with me. i need more input!! i just wanna make the right choice b4 investing so much money.

what should i do:

1) get a replica INGS+1 kit (w/out fender), or maybe kenstyle... and then later get drop springs and MAYBE be able to drop it ENOUGH to MAYBE fall into OEM specs. (what is the lowest u can go, falling into OEM specs????)

2) slam it, with better, lower springs, tokiko d-specs, and probably camber kit. and probably not have enough money to get a bodykit.

as you can see 1 is full of maybes and 2 is only a drop and upgrade in suspension. o and for 1 i would need profesional installation and PAINT!! (expensive) so any help would be great!

I'll give my input:

You can get the 350Z H.Tech with the tokico D-spec which wil keep you close to OEM spec as far as cambering etc, if you have want a less aggresive look... If not go with a bigger drop. Hopefully you got some rims going with that drop.

Replica body kits is a double edge sword. Meaning, it will fit or not fit. So if that isnt an issue and you want the cheapest way to get a nice look. That would be your path to take.

Now, if you have a body kit, your going to turn heads since there probably not that many G35 with nice body kits rolling around in hawaii, correct me if i'm wrong.

If you drop your car, people will notice but not that much. But you will know

Body kit = ppl notice you.....Springs = you will know...

Springs = cheaper....Body kit = $$$$

Those are my thoughts for you.

But to tell you, I personally got springs and rims first. But I sold my G35 so I never had the chance of putting a body kit on. No experience there. Good luck tho.

got stock 19"s.... i think the bodykit idea is a lot more expensive, because i havn't really thought about the install and paint part. a good paint job is really expensive isn't it?

To paint and install the INGS+ replica is gonna run you about 1200 at least.

Just do your suspension first and get some spacers for your wheels if you don't plan on getting rims.

Springs, struts, sways, front and rear camber and 2 alignments ran me 2600.

Your gonna pay about that anyways for the kit and installation so you may as well have a G that can rail corners. =)

Yah, kind of hard to do body kit without wheels. Springs you can do without wheels. So if you dont' have enough for wheels yet, I'd say skip the body kit and just drop it.

Just remember that you shouldn't drop it too much if you are planning to do a bodykit... our cars are already pretty low to begin with. I'm getting my car back(finally) tomorrow and will see how much of a drop that I want. Anyway, like everyone said, bodykit without wheels will look like crap unless it's a simple front lip like Data.
