Quote: Wow. Nice shot. Is it the angle of the car, because its looks like you are running staggered. I forgot what you are dropped on too.
na, the angle. dropped on H&R with koni sports. i wish i took a picture of what the car looked like before the ride to the mountain. we got hit with a little ice rain at night. the whole front end was covered in almost 2 inch thick ice. that shot is two days later when it was just all snow.

Quote: what model is that thule?
not sure, i just went to SkiBarn and the sales dude hooked it up. Check thule site, it has the model u need.

What's up guys, I thought I made my decision on which springs to buy. After further research I think I'm going to go with revised Z fronts/G-coupe rears (sport). Originally i was going to go with the Eibach Pro Kit.
My question is, does it matter if I get the G-coupe sports or non sport for the rears? How's the ride quality with this setup? I know getting the G-coupe rears would give it more of a even drop, since the front fender has a higher cut than the rear.
Also how about throwing all four G-Coupe(sport) springs on? These springs are from an 07 coupe, my G35x is an 04. Will this be the same as a 350z revised drop?
I know, I know, this was probably covered throughout these 69 pages but I can't go through this whole thread again.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Where the hell can I get a set of front struts for a 2005 g35x that will not destroy my bank account?

Nice shot! Why are you riding on Milano's in the winter? Makes me cringe ! (I have Milano's for spring/summer/fall). Nice ride/setup!

For those on H&R springs and stock shocks can you bounce the front of your car (when it's parked). Trying to figure out if my fronts shocks are bad. My rears go down when I push it down and comes back up nice and easy but my front does not even move when I push on it.

This is the very first time I seen a G Sedan with a rack, and I have to say I dig it! I hate having to step onto my Xterra and put my boards up there its a hastle its to high compared to a car.

Have you lost any of your clear coat on the lip? I have a few parts on mine where it's chipping off in spots. Nothing major, but not sure why it's happened.

yea, i had the rims for 3 years now, so the clear coat on all 4 rims is starting to chip. not to bad, but its noticalbe. reason why i kept them on this winter.

i just cant keep up with my car cleaness. my job does not alow it. i can only keep my car clean on the weekends when i get a wash, but as soon as i go to work on monday, its done deals.

gonna wash the car today, need to get all atht salt, dirt, off my car. its already going on almost 2 months without a wash. ( in VT snow every weekend. almost pointless =/)

i'll take some pics in diffrent angles with the rack. seems like alot of people like it, and i do get asked frequently when i'm out and about by other G drivers.

got it at Ski Barn. i'm located in Jersey. but i beleive Thule site will have every you need to get the kit. ran me a little under $400 i beleive. Front flare is a must if u get a rack. so much more noise without it.

Exactly! I'm going snowboarding tomorrow and man I wish I had a nice rack, but the G can stay home in the garage and the Truck with the racks on top , I'm really diggin' that rack, is it Thule the only one that makes it for our cars? or does Yakima have it as well?

Yakima makes them too - I have just the basic Q towers and load bars and the snowboard racks. There's also this other brand by Carmate that makes some pretty cool silver ones called INNO. I saw them on an '08 G and it looks really nice.
