I did it again guys. I got some 350z s-techs for the front and put them in. LOL Here are the pics. It lowered the front about .5 more. Closer now about 1 1/2 finger gap. I am done lowering it for the summer unless I come across some coupe or z H&R. LOL My main concern is now, I am thinking of getting rid of the 20's and worried that if I go smaller I am going to have to deal with the gap issue again. What do you guys think will I.

hey i was thinking of the same thing. getting rid of my 20s and getting NISMO wheels for performance. i think we should be allset since i had the 19 inch coupe wheels installed before i had put my 20s and it tucked in more than my 20s. it all depend if you go wide by 8.5 ot 9.0

I've got an 05X I'm looking to lower. I've got 20x8.5 with a 45mm offset wrapped in 245-35-20's. What is the best spring setup to go with without rubbing or major camber issues? I don't want it too low, but yet want improved cornering without bouncy ride and huge gap. If I don't get a good combo I'll just keep it stock. Please advise....

Most popular setup I believe (what I'm running on my RWD) is Z-springs up front with coupe springs in the rear..nice even stance and gives approx. 1 finger gap front & back.

I had z/coupe set up and I didnt have a one finger gap. I do have small hands so that might come into play. But yes that would probably be the best bet with him. Unless he just wants to run all coupe and then I got a set for sale. Lame plug I know. LOL

Does anybody know whazzup with VRT, are they Legit? the shop i go to has been leaving them messages for the llast 3 weeks and they never seem to answer their phones no matter what time you call. They have a couple of g35x owners interested in the vrt suspension for the G35X.

There is a some post in this thread here about that company. I think they have a pretty bad rep between driver and my350z.

You can get koni struts and rear shocks. Of course you need to get a pair of struts to give to koni as a donor.

Koni can re valve them. You have to call them up and send the fronts to them and they will do their thing which I don't know what they do and send them back. They are rebound adjustable like the rears. I know one guy that has them on and Seddon got some but he is on a business trip so does not have them on. But give them a call.

Hey guys, I am a n00b when it comes to lowering springs and whatnot, and I need your advice.

I have 19" M45 Sport Wheels and want to have my G sit a bit lower (not excessively) s to get rid of some of the wheel gap. What do you guys recommend?

assuming you have a x, you should go with the z/coupe combo, it wont lower it alot and you can still have a decent ride. But I would get some revised shocks for the rear less bouncy.
