Calling all "X's" with a lowered suspension!
If I'm sitting around 1" lower on my X, which wheel would look better?
19x8.5 33 offset all around
19x9.5 40 offset all around
I haven't dropped the car yet but soon (coupe fronts/sedan sport rears) And maybe a rear camber kit. I don't want to be too low or too aggressive at all. Just sitting nicely on 19s. I know there will be a decent gap but I don't want to scrape or run crazy camber. I want my tires to actually last.

There is 1mm difference on the way they'll sit If I remember correctly.
But 9.5 will look better.
Just got dropped on BC's.
Love the drop, but i dont know how some of you guys drive around even lower then this. I'm scrapping on dips in the road. Just need to get used to it.




And the final touch:

What you guys think?
I guess I can still go a bit lower, but I'm good for now. Maybe with some more aggressive wheels and stretched tires. I wanna go flush.

Without the camber kit, you're screwed. I ordered the SPC for mine with BC Coilovers but they sent the wrong kit. I drove to California from Utah and back (approximately 1400 miles) and when I got back to Utah, the back tires were COMPLETELY BALD and they were basically new when I left. If you don't get the kit, you'll be sorry. I had to shell out $500 for two new Falkins...........learned my lesson. SPC sent the correct kit and now now problems.
What if i put on everything else but the front struts? Will i blow the stock struts? Also i ride with a full car on the weekends will i rub with Z springs and shocks?

i currently have an 05x and it has been sitting on TEIN S-techs on stock shocks, which many of you may already know excludes AWD because there is alot more weight on the back causing the back to sag lower. it bounces way too much on the back and i believe the rear shocks may have gone out. what do you guys suggest i do to fix that problem? can i just get stiffer shocks for the back? i notice they don't have adjustable shocks or full coil overs for the X. Also on the X, are the rear shocks the same as the normal rear wheel drive sedans so i can just buy any normal g35 shocks and put them in? just the fronts that are different from the X and the normal rear wheel?
We do have full coilovers. Have you read this whole thread. Btw guys, Megan has came out with some also. Not sure when they are going on sale but one of our forum members has them.
^Yep. jmonsale has been testing the prototypes. See this thread for details:

Hopefully they'll be available soon:

hopefully so...i've read through a few post but 114 pages was too much to cover. it seems like "currently no available" and "coming soon" was a common theme so hopefully this time around there will be something for sure otherwise the rears are interchangable for the rwd and awd but fronts needing special designed is what i'm getting from this....

and you are correct in reading.
So after 109 pages what is the best set up when running stock 18/19" wheels particularly the 2006 G35 Coupe/2007 M45" wheels? I notice that the nissan 350z or the G-coupe springs are common set up, but im curious as to what suit will fit better; front and rear springs combination AND where are you guys acquiring the springs??(obviously the cheapest and most reliable source)

FWIW- they lower about 7/8"
