Here's a few pics. Gotta take some better ones this weekend



Clean Ryde, Love the drop!! What setting are you on? Sorry if this has been answered in one of the 1890234 posts here...lol

Front Springs only

Has anyone dropped the front alone? I have a 06x, if I put 350z springs on the front and leave the rear stock, would I have any issues? Any feedback is wonderful.....

No issues..but that would look dumb IMO. Why would you just drop the front.

I feel that the ride height will be pretty even if I only drop the front.. right now I have 4 fingers in the front and 3 in the back... I guess why not try it?? so long as my ride quality will not be drastically affected...

You can try it, but your car will have a rake to it. You should at least put some RWD sedan or Coupe springs in the rear if you're going with Z springs in the front. The X's really do sit pretty high even compared to stock RWD's.

The rears are really easy to swap out though so you can try several different setups.

On my 07 I have 370Z springs in the front, stock springs in the rear with shaved mounts.
If you don't do something to lower the rear it might be higher in the back than the front. I don't know with an 06.
Here is my thread with pics after the G35x was lowered.

Wow seddon, as everyone usually says chrome is not my cup of tea, but i must say i love your car. I just sat at my computer for a good 3 minutes staring at your car, the color, the wheels, the drop, the wheel fitment, everything is just so perfect.

Heres a few more horrible phone pics after i got my skirts painted. Again im on BC coilovers:

I am buying 15mm spacers for the rear as im typing this, also going to try them up front to see if i should get 15mm or 10mm in the front.

I do have fronts and rears, in those picstures none we installed, that in the natural camber fron the drop. Im going to install my rear arms and toe bolts soon when i decide to go get an alignment but i dont think im going to install my front ones, prolly just going to sell my front arms.

Hard for me to remember but i think front and rear im prolly like 10-12 clicks front soft, so almost in the middle.

Here is a picture of my front subframe clearance:

2007 Coupes were still first gen, correct? If so, yes they will fit.
