Its not that bad. I had a hotchik rear sways and you can tell the difference. As for others, I do not.

 

I didn't know the hotchikis fit the X. Tell the difference as in the hotchikis were better? How much stiffer does the car feel for everyday driving?

I'd like to get front/rear sway bars and a chassis brace. Not sure if the front/rear strut bars make a huge difference.

 

All they have is a rear. Yes the hotchiks are little stiffer.

 

Finally finished lowering my 04x and installing kurookie/nismo/stillen aero.

Dropped on sedan Eibach pro-kit with Tokico d-specs in the rear, and an Eibach rear sway.

Wheels are 19x8.5 et 35 with 245/40 all around.

Thats the same wheel and tire setup I have...looks good! BTW, what rear bumper lip is that? I've been looking for something like that!

 

^ its a stillen rear valence

 

^yep, Stillen rear. You can purchase from the stillen site, or wait a while longer for the Ionic Nismo rear replica that's in the works.

 

04 g35x
350z unrevised front and rear springs
factory shocks
factory wheels/tires
kinetix front and rear control arm/camber arms
new factory end links
love the look, however the rear is noise as hell. might be normal? sounds like
the sway bar end links are always bad. anyone know if it is normal?

 

Thanks guys i learned a lot cars look nice. I'm lowering mine soon.

 

question for the many guys who played around with like 3+ spring combos.

I went G springs to Z springs to coilovers. G springs i dont remember why i didn't like but it wasn't low enough. Z i rubbed in the rear. Coils are just right.

Now i swap out every winter to OEM. And well this is 2nd winter and i honestly think i'm done with it. Possibly consider selling the coils and getting a set of springs and calling it a day. The Z all around revised and unrevised were too low for me to be driving all year round. It was a great height other then me rubbing but no way will i do that in the winter. Looking around these pictures and from my memory. there is about 5 finger gaps on stock setup. I'm looking for something that will leave me 2 finger gaps that will give a very close to OEM ride. I think the coupe springs will be the answer but i'm looking at the aftermarket area now.

So pretty much something not slammed but lower then stock. I need my AWD to be very driveable in the winter. Coupes and H-tech for the sedan the only options? I cant for the life of me remember why i didn't like the coupe suspension, i had them on a week and just took them off.

 

probably because the coupe spring were the revised so it was a bumpy ride. What you sell your coils for, use some of the money get get some konis rear and truechoice fronts and you will be in love again.

 

might be due to bumpy ride. Any thoughts on what springs to get?

I might tokico's adjustable rear shocks.

 

I say keep your coils and just switch out to stock for the winter. That is what I am going to do and I live in Wa state and we dont get as much snow as you do. Yes it can be a pain, but once you do the swap 2-3 times it not that hard.

 

I might be really crazy because I just bought some CO and going to install it this weekend if it gets here on time. I do plan on keeping it for the winter if the height isn't very low. That being said what is the highest it raises? How many finger gaps?

 

^ ive heard front go almost as high as stock, while the rear goes about 1-2 finger gaps.

Please correct me if im wrong
