Calling all "X's" with a lowered suspension!
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.

Now if you cant do anything yourself then just leave them on.

Anyway, just an idea.
somewhere in the middle i forget if they were 32 settings or like 16. either way mines in the middle with 3-5 extra on the softside and in the middle for the rear. The front setting is something i noticed right away but the rear i cant feel a difference
Hello everyone I'm new to this website i just purchased a 04 G35X yesterday and I'm looking to lower it.I've been reading what other people have posted but i keep getting mixed feedback I want to install Tein S Tech springs on it with a 2"Front 1.5 rear drop but now people are saying that it wont work in the rear something to do with the shocks so right now I'm lost.I'm not used to having this problem with any of my other cars but i really don't want to order something and find out that it cant work so can someone help a brother out with some positive feedback on this thank you
I would if i wanted to spend over $800....Whats the best spring to use i was going to use Tein S Tech but people dont care for them everyone telling me to go with Ebicah or H&R..
Depends on how low you want to go? H&R are a great choice. my eibach pro kit springs are fine i love them they are not to low and not to high. Tein s-tech are not bad there are alot of people using them also.
Well when you come back here and complain about the bumpy ride or your back end looks lower then the front. Just look back at my post and see why I suggested coilovers.
This ^^. Will be going w/ BC's soon enough.
Go S-techs. I am running them on my X and the drop is very good. Ride is stiffer than OEM but not bad at all. I prefer it. But as said before, springs do not let you have a even drop front to back. Coils will allow for a even drop all around and adjustable height/dampening settings.
