G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

Coils that fit the 1st gen G's will not fit on the 2nd gen. The bottoms on the front shocks is completely different and the mounting holes are rotated 90* off from each other. Have no clue about the M's though. A buddy of mine ordered coils for an 05 sedan and was sent a set for the 2nd gen. We started on the fronts and quickly realized they wouldn't fit.

Blue that is weird, because BC racing said the coilovers are the same for 1st and 2nd gen. Are you thinking of the rwd and not the awd.

H&R springs- ride quality

I recently put on H&R sport springs front and rear for my 05X. At the same time, also installed new KYB Excel G shocks all around; and a new Eibach rear sway (at soft setting). Tires are OEM size Conti DWS and in good condition. Alignment was performed after mods and rear camber was adjusted as much as possible but still some slight negative camber. No alignment kits installed.

The car is lowered 1-3/4" front and back and looks good. Handling around tight turns is much better and car stays flat. But the ride quality can be bouncy. I was expecting and willing to accept a stiffer ride, but I'd say more bouncy than stiff. Both front and rear feel "bouncier" than stock and so the ride can get tiring at times, especially when cruising on the highway.

Any suggestions to improve the ride quality? i.e. go back to the stock springs?; use Z/Coupe spring combo? replace rear shocks with Tokico D-specs? (probably no HD front struts available for the X). I don't know how the spring rates of the H&R's compare to the other brands.

If your willing to try get 07- up g37. I want to say they are heavier and might work. Or you can send your to true choice and have them revalve them

I posted this at random questions thread but no one answered. Just wondering if someone can answer it here for me.


Anyone with a G35x here?? Have you guys changed your front hub assembly? Where did you guys order it from? And how much did you guys pay? It should be the same for 2003-2006 I think. I have a 2005 g35x. I work at PartSource but I can't order it anywhere lolz. I found them at ebay for $200 plus $90 for shipping each. And I want to replace both sides. I just want to know if that's the oy option I have.

Thanks in advance.

The other option is going through the stealership for OEM (what I would do) but it cost a lot of money. good luck!

And call the dealership and part numbers for the x and rwd hubs and if they're the same part number then your good, but I think yes the 03-06 are the same.

as someone who just did their front bearings.

there seems to be two sourced for the actual bearing, TIMKIN (spelling) and no name. Price diff is very slim, get the TIMKEIN one. They are good bearings. It was like $60ish from rockauto. 2 hours labor at any shop if you get both front done if they are legit and use alldata or mitchell to get labor rates.

You dont need the hub assembly in most cases.

lowered guys any possible way to a caster adjustment kit?

I have kinteix camber arm in front. But my caster is off a little bit not extreme but if there is a caster kit out there for cheap i would be interested.
