Why would you have rubbign issues on 350z springs?? It only drops the G35 sedan 1" and you still have about 2" of gap on OEM 18" wheels.

I drive only 6-7kmi/yr.....so that helps and umm occasional touch-up paint, waxing, and occasional meguiars quick detailer(in b/t washes) to remove bugs, bird-shiit etc...


Is your bumper and your hood suffering from road-rash..how many miles do you drive per yr?

You can have your bumper and maybe your hood re-painted by a quality bodyshop with a better than factory finish and 100% color match(your G is black, right?).

I had the hood repainted due to damage/road rash and the full aerokit is a few months new.

It is a known fact that the oem Coupe 19's offset is not right for the sedan. The +33 offset, 8.5" wide and 245/40/19 tire is too close to the fender - I actually have the coupe rear springs and with the supposed 1/2" drop (seems much closer in my opinion), it rubs with one passenger in the back, full size spare in the trunk and a semi-hard turn.

i drive about 15k a year, besides the paint fading and rock chips my bumper suffered three 2mph dings, one to the gate and 2 other to a other car. I do have black G. Im gonna get my whole bumper fixed and painted in about 6 months but hood paint is messed up also (the front side).

The only time I've rubbed was when I had 3 people in my car and going over speed bumps and big bumps.

You're lucky then - when I take a turn slightly fast, I can hear the tires rubbing and that's with one person back there. I even have coupe springs in the rear which are slightly higher than the Z springs...looking at my fender line...it clearly is too close to the fender.

I am thinking about lowering mine next yr. I live in RI and for those of you that live in this area the roads suck. I still up in the air of what set up I should go with.

Question

Ditto on that question! What's the probability that the factory paint will crack and/or chip in the process?

Thx!

if done right u will not have to worry about ur paint cracking or chipping etc...u will be more than satisfied with them being rolled or even shaved off and our sedans come with the front fenders pretty much rolled already take a look....i got mine rolled using a some sort of roller machine that bolts on to ur hub and evenly rolls the inner lip of the fender...it cost me a 100 bucks i think maybe if that.
