Calling all "X's" with a lowered suspension!

Phil at first sounds like a grumpy old australian dude, but he lightens up pretty quick. I also talked to a guy named Paul from KONI usa (not far from TruChoice) who told me that Truechoice is their best authorized dealer around, and their builds have a much better turn around time (2wks vs 6wks from koni themselves.). Here's their site http://www.truechoicekoniracingservices.com/
oh BTW FlyingLumpia your making me regret giving up those VRT arms. Ride is looking pimp.

I am such a *****. Here you guys go, I raised it back up some since I could not drive it like that anymore, tried alittle HDR. But believe me for shows or photos, I will try to lower it even lower. 

KazaamG35x ----- how long did the stock shocks last before they went bad from the H&Rs since ima put those on after this winter.... but between paying for college and just life haha i dont have like 1.5-2gs to drop on shocks...
dude if thi is your first drop you have pppplllleeenntttyyy of time. I went thru a couple of setups on my X (350z revised, H-Techs, 350Z H-Techs) before I finally fund the perfect ride and stance in the H&Rs. My stock shocks lasted that entire time, about 11k miles or so before they went out on me. My mechanic even told me they were still good after the swap with the Koni's. You'll be good for a while, but its nothing like the ride on the Koni's

havent posted or looked on here in forever. I am on Z front/ Coupe rears. Ride is starting to get a bit shaky....any word on shocks? Or are you guys still sending to Koni for rebuild? Kazaam, etc-- how much did u guys pay to have them modded/revalved?
The guy that has the HKS supercharger on his has them, it doesnt look like it did lower it that much so I think you will be good. You should atleast get some revised shocks in the rear for them or maybe some d-specs. There is one company that sell just the rears but I cant remember at this time who they are. I will try to find out tonight.
Sedan Sport springs on X

Waiting to install the H&R's everyone has been raving about. They took forever to get BTW. Install should happen when rear camber/toe kit comes in. Is the shock change a MUST? I have 37K on them...
If so, what choices do I have for the rear? Can I use can I use stock sport sedan (6mt) rear shock available on tire rack? (Bilstein or stock shocks from Riverside???) Is there going to be an issue because the car is lower? Or can I put coup shocks on the rear since it's about 2" lower? I noticed they (coup shocks) are also cheaper on the Riverside Infiniti site...
Thanks

Changing my front shocks this weekend and installing SPC front and rear camber kit. My toyos t1rs are almost done on the inside (17,000 miles) b/c of no front or rear camber kit.
Stock front shocks have about 60k miles on them, 17k of those miles were lowered.
Live and learn. Still waiting for the coilovers.
