It's all subjective since we don't have struts or springs designed to drop the X, you may get a little bouncy/harshness with every set up. the go to set up is the G/Z combo

If you guys do run struts or springs instead of coilovers on the X: See if you can find someone to get custom springs made, or find the springs you want to use in a specific spring rate. You might be able to get custom spring rates close to BC coilvers, which are 10k front and 8k rear standard. Just a thought.

Please explain the G/Z combo? I would love to use OEM equipment. If I could just get some 350z springs that would be great with me if it gave a mild drop say .5 to 1.0 and a sportier ride? If this is a good idea, can someone tell me what year 350Z to buy from that would install on my 04X awd

thanks

Has anyone found an extended boot for the front right axles? I am on my second ripped boot. I can keep replacing the axle but it takes much longer and may rip again using the same size boot. If I cant find anything I am going to have to raise my car some which is a shame!

Try using the same side but the one made for the rear. You will be the first to try it, but from the diagrams they look like the same but I think the rear is made better to flex. I have not heard anyone saying I need to replace my rears.

How about using a universal boot and cutting it to desired size? Or maybe high angled boots that the lifted trucks use idk if fitment would be an issue .

In my opinion based on usage for over a year in the city and rural areas, I would go with the BC racing. I've been running them for what seems like a long time and I've never had one issue with them. I've adjust them multiple times and the dampening seems to give a good range. Worth the extra money. I've heard anything Megan is pretty cheap.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
Are you sure you have the offsets right? If so I don't think the wheels will work on your car because the offset is so high I think the inner part of the rims will hit the suspension.

I already tried that and didn't fit because on the inside. Its like a triangle shape in it.

Yes, I purchased these wheels off a fella with a S2K. I'm worried that they may rub my wall/coils or whatever I choose. I definitely need some advice on what to go about. I went from a GLI to a G35x when I got back from the Air Force. Should I go with bags and spacers?
Or coils, spacers, and camber? Is it even possible? I know I'll need to pull my fenders for sure.

Thanks

I did +20 last year and it was flush. I have +32 rims now and I'll see if it'll fit with 20mm spacers. Honestly depends on how your set up is. If you're lowered, you can pull off anywhere +20. Stock height, go +30 to +35
