Hello,

I wanted to know how much roughly it would cost to lower the G on the stock 18's. Has anyone done this? If so are there pics?

What do you guys recommend? I live in Ontario, so we do have bad winters, I do plan to drive it in winter... I have a set of 17's for the winter...

If i do plan on lowering the car, when i put my 17's on will the car be extra lower?

After time does lowering damage the car?

anyone's thoughts? thank you...

please if you can post pics of G coupe with stock rims lowered...

 

As long as you've got the right sized tires, your car shouldn't be lower when you switch to 17s. Basic springs are like ~$200, coilovers can be $1000+.

Search, plenty of info about lowering the G

 

tein s-techs, everything else is stock.

 

But then when ppl "search" and post a question...people say "thats an old thread", lol. Soooooooooooooooooooo what now?

 

well i went to a custom shop and bought eibach springs for 250 and then to install was 150 the drop on the front was 1.7 inches and the back was 1.4 if you want pics just tell me and ill send them = )

 

oh my bad the name were eibach sportline just incase there are a couple of eibachs

 

search is ure friend

 

I also have tein s-techs on my 6mt and I love them. I did the install myself so it was only the cost of the springs which isn't bad. I am going to install a camber kit when i get my new wheels but it isn't really needed if you get your car properly aligned after the drop. I don't now about putting 17 on a G....the wheel wells are so damn big already the stock 18's look small...but thats just my opinion.

 

Sorry I missed the part about 17's for the winter...that makes sense then. just get a bigger sidewall.

 

I lowered my car with Tein 350z S-techs.

Including the camber kits, I spent $1200cdn. All my alignment settings are near stock (I changed them a bit for better performance).

Your car wouldn't be extra low with stock 17s, because your 17" tire's profile will make up for the lower profile tires on stock 18s.

I wouldn't say it would damage your shocks, should be fine if u get springs with spring rates close to to stock ones. Even if it does, it'll last for a long time (provided you don't try to offroad in your G35)

 

Lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit. Everything else is stock.

 

I drop mine with Tein S.Tech lowing springs (1.2 front,0.9 rear) on OEM 18's

 

G35 s-techs on my old 18's.
