Pretty sure suspension components for 07+ G35/37 are not compatible with the 03-06 models. They are different chassis codes and have different setups. I don't have a sedan but I think that is the general rule of thumb.

M35x 06-09 and G35x 03-06 use same parts. D2 BC coils for awd are same. Tein Htech from M should work too they about 200 new

chassis code has nothing to do with the setup. Its just easier to say NO it doesn't. Some cars are more plug and play then others.

350z's suspension works on the G35c. Thats Z33 and V35. Thats pretty known. You also have stuff like the old J30 that works with the 300zx. Or like a supra and a SC300/400.

Spring rates might be different but a 1st gen AWD should bolt on to a 2nd gen AWD.

with the eibach pro kit springs im looking at a 1"ish drop correct? Will i be able to fit 19x8.75 rims pretty easily with that drop? Will I have to put on super skinny tires in order for it to not rub?

I finally have a little spare cash to do the drop on my G and I'm looking for the combo setup (Z front springs, G coupe rears). What's the best way to find these parts? I'm already checking eBay and the classifieds here.

^^ I would reccomend saving the extra cash and getting coils.. I imagine you can pick up a pair for $800 or so. It would save you lots of headaches and obviously a better ride.

Coils are absolutely not in the budget right now. What headaches are inherent to the combo setup? That seems to be the most common recommendation for a mild drop (from what I've seen, anyway).

So Curious, how much do you think you can get the (Z front springs, G coupe rears) and camber arms and toe bolts for including installation?

I was not aware that a camber kit was necessary with such a mild drop.

From what I've seen on ebay, I should be able to pick up all 4 springs for around $120 total. I can do the labor myself and then I'll take it for an alignment after it settles in.

No, I don't believe you have to install the camber arms it just helps tire wear. I only have rear my self, no fronts...

Well G's come with some camber from the factory so even a mild drop its a good Idea to have a camber kit, but there are people who are slammed and just run the ridiculous camber so its really not a necessity.

For you guys running BC coils like me, what do you keep your ride height at? I am about 1.5" drop all around and any lower in the front will cause me to eat the road! I also keep tearing up front CV boots every 6 months it seems because of odd axle angles from the drop, especially on the passenger side. Any tips?

So I'm new to this thread, can someone just sum this up? What are the best springs for our AWD cars, springs that have the least negative impact on ride quality, comfort and camber.
