Looks really good!
Before lowering mine, the front fenders where ~28-1/4" and the rears where ~27-7/8" (with a full tank)
How much are you lower than that?

whats stock on your car?

1st gen rear camber is like -1.0- -1.4 or something like that. -2 camber isnt doing to make or break the tires.

are there any X owners out there that have a set of HSD coilovers installed in their ride?

http://www.hsdcoilovers.com/

I'm just wondering what model # would fit our ride (mine's an 06) and how they perform

For everyone that has coilovers on their X ride...

for a daily driver what spring rate would you recommend if you wanted to run 20x8.5" rims +38offset with 245/35 tires? whats the lowest you can go on 20's to sit flush? I read the posts and noticed the biggest rims almost everyone has is 19's

will the Megan and BC racing coilovers still perform well in the winter? How close to stock do they come to again when you raise them?

cheers
Ash

Hey guys, I was thinking of putting 06 350z revised springs on my car 06 g35x. I read the start of this thread people were saying its just more bumpy. So I was wondering if I do put these springs on will I have to change anything else major? My pockets aren't "deep" so I gotta take precautions until I find another job stupid tution fees.

I dont think any of those HSD coilovers will fit your car you will have to buy bc racing coilovers if you have an X.
