^ coilovers deffnitly are the best bet, because after about a year droped low a springs, your going to need to replace your struts, and at that point you could have bought the BC coilovers.

Sorry all,
I figured, as my people, this would be the best place to put the following out there.

The folks at Hotchkis have a production ready front sway bar for the 2005 G35x. No need to tell you guys that this is a long time coming. Our front pumpkin gets in the way. All that is left is a "real world trial". Hotchkis, a southern cali, group needs a real G35x to test the sway bar all. I would do it but I am in New York. Any you in So Cal? please contact Hotchkis... who knows you might even get a free swaybar out of the deal (worth asking). If you do please let the rest of us know so that we can get on them to get the product into production.

Cheers!

^ What part of SoCal are they in?...because I'm moving there pretty soon, and willing to be the tester! It would be perfect because I already have the rear Hotchkis sway bar, and a coupe front up for sale. If they're willing to, then maybe we can setup a group buy.

X
Im piecing together a lowered suspension for my X... Im gonna go with a G/Z combo, and am looking at rear shocks. I know everybody says go with revised 350 rear shocks, but for the price I was looking at Tokico HPs for the rear. Should I go with Gcoupe rear shocks or 350z rear shocks?

Nice Drifter when you moving there. I offered to drive down, but didnt want to spend the money for gas, if I got 30-40 people to paypal me 10 each, I would use that for gas to drive down.
