Coupes all around now. Around 1/2" drop in front, closer to 1" drop in rear. My Z fronts will be here Monday, which should make the fender gaps equal each other. I don't like the way the front looks higher having so much gap above the tire. I'll take some pics tomorrow for a before (all coupe) shot. Then another when Z's are on for an after (z/coupe) comparo.

 

I am thinking about getting Eibach Sportline Springs for my 2005 G35x..and my car is Automatic..will installing these springs affect my transmission or n e thing else besides just lowering it..this might be a stupid question but i just dont know

 

Will not affect your tranny just ride quality but you will handle a little better.

 

You can also do Koni rears and later if you want to send your fronts to truechoice and get those done and you can have a matching set.

 

bout to drop 04 on H&R springs all around. i was going to wait before replacing shocks but when i took out my subwoofer box and saw how much it dropped the rear, I decided i better do it now. which shocks do you guys recommend, koni sports or tokio d?

 

any of u X guys have a weird wobble noise that sound like its coming from the front supension?

when im on bumpy roads, it sounds like a clank like something is loose.

replaced the front shocks and upper mounts. noise still there.

anything else i should look into? it started about 3 weeks ago and its really pissing me off.

 

Did you get those Z springs put on yet? I'd like to see the comparison pics.

 

hey guys i think my front left shocks finally blew
i've been running on tein stechs for a while ..
a few questions: (i've tried the search)
- where's the best place to order from? (im in canada)
- should i just replace the one broken one or replace all at once?
- i've been waiting for the weather to clear before picking up a camber kit / struts.. where's the best place to order these online?


thanks

 

Not yet. They left San Diego 2 days ago, so maybe tomorrow.

 

Only place to order front shocks for the X is through the dealer but KYB just came out with OE replacements a little cheaper than the dealer but is special oder. Pm Rick@riversideinfiniti and see how much he will charge you.I would replace both just to be safe.

 

thanks for the reply.. i've been hearing a "wobbling" sound from the front left and i'm wondering if its an installation problem (since you can't actually hear blown shocks)
the ride's not too bouncy but has anyone else experienced this type of problem?

 

i've been having that problem for couple weeks now. i replaced the front stock shocks and upper mounts. still there. taking the car to the dealer next friday to get inspected. have a feeling it might be a control arm or somehthing in that matter.

i posted this a while ago.

FlyingLumpia, you are the X guru and I think you posted about this way way back about 15 pages ago...

Do you still recommend the Stillen sways for the rear of Xs at the least?

These say "NOT AWD" but obviously people have put either the rear, front or both on their Xs. Would just the rear be fine (replacing rear springs, shocks, adding sway, replacing only springs on front)? Or have you moved on to something better for both front and back?

 

I have hotchiks 350z sway but only in the rear.

 

Hey everybody! Finally got time to have my 350z fronts installed today. Looks and rides great combined with the revised coupes in the rear. Fender gap is equal now front - rear, making it all look perfectly level...although the car actually has a slight forward rake now (which I like). Very subtle.

Before: (still with some snow on her)





After! : )





I also debadged "Infiniti" off the rear trunk. Looks more sleek and streamlined.




The pics don't quite show the difference you see in real life, but they're close enough. This is a great combination of springs for lowered height while maintaining ground clearance and ride quality. The front feels slightly stiffer now, but I notice less body roll and less brake dive.
