Hey guys... so those guys from nengum.jp that i was going to check if the m35x coilovers they have fit the g35x...so this what they said on my e-mail.


Hi Sandy,

Thanks for your email. We are currently working with another owner of this vehicle to see if any suspension kits are available for the G35X here in Japan. If we can locate such a kit, we'll be sure to let you know. The closest so far is the HKS kit, but this may not be suitable with the 4WD version of your vehicle, until we can confirm:
http://www.hks-power.co.jp/products/...0140an010.html

Thanks
Alan


This looks like some body that has an X is working with them down in japan to distribute them and will let me know ASAP they start the mod...

Kazaam35x, I see you have M45 rims. Can't find your initial post, but what did you have to do to get them to fit (offset, tires, etc)? Pre-lowering, if you can (can't afford new/nice springs ).

These are tokico d-spec but see how the bottom has a stem. The awd as an arm.

the AWD fronts, are they any more diffrent to take off then normal struts?

i've done normal struts with the 2 bolt off the knuckle. i'm looking at this and hoping the spring replacment is roughly the same just remove all stuff on the strut unbolt and w/e bolts on top. i dont have to mess around with removing any other stuff ?

FINALLY!!!!!!
Got my custom built front KONI shocks back. Now I just gotta find a damn installer. They definitely send you back a BRAND NEW shock!! I sent it to truchoice KONI racing in Ohio, they took 4days to do the job when they finall started because hurricane IKE tore that whole area up. At one point I was calling for a few days in a row, and thought they had taken my shocks and folded lol. Very satisfied so far, can't wait to install them and feel the handling. The front comes with an adjuster I still have to figure out how the rear get's adjusted. Here are some pics. By the way for some that didn't know from earlier in thread, I bought a pair of front shocks with 18k miles on them, swapped out my blown fronts, and sent those out to KONI. They rebuilt and repainted them, wish they had painted them yellow as well. I bought the rear pair a few weeks back.

that is rather very pricey still since it doesn't included the rears.

Yes I have those coilover kit. Yes it looks cheaply made, but I have the rears on and they are not that bad. The ride is nice and they help lower my car down. The fronts dont fit due to a thing on the strut keeping the sleeve from going on. Here are some pics of what I am talking about.

Dante I would just keep the H&R it gives the car a great stance, and I am sure with those shocks/struts it going to give a great ride.
