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.
They will sit exactly the same way...
There is 1mm difference on the way they'll sit If I remember correctly.

But 9.5 will look better.

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.
car looks great. i can not even go that low. my exhaust is already scraping on my driveway. also the a-arm is coming in contact with the inner fender when i hit abrupt bumps. i still can not get BC to send me or sell me more urethane spacers. i have sent two emails and they are leaving me hanging.

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.

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?

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....

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)

I got my 370Z front springs on here for $75. Just keep searching the marketplace or online. You can buy new from Infinitiparts
FWIW- they lower about 7/8"
