Perfect drop. I agree that 40's will make it look even better.

Marksg35 and chobble19. Nice look on both cars. As a novice, I am interested in wether you changed out springs and struts or just springs.

A week ago we bought my wife an 06 G35 Sedan, Liquid platinum with sport package. After seeing yours, I like the drop to get rid of the gap. However, my wife would not be interested in making the ride any more firm than it is.

What is your ride like, compared to stock sport package, after you made the changes?

TIA

Cliffj

Congrats on the purchase and Welcome!!I have coupe 19" and 35 series tires...This combo alone makes it ride a little more rough than stock...When you add revised springs to that I'm sure it makes it that much more firmer than stock... I haven't had time to experiment with the D-Specs yet...Hindsight I would have gotten 40 series tires for a bit better ride and to close the fender gap a little more...Having said that the car handles much much better than stock...I am very happy with it overall...If it was my wifes car I would get sways and different wheel&tires(aprox.same size,a bit wider perhaps)It will handle much better without sacrificing the ride quality.

Much improved. Looking back at some old pics of my ride, I can't believe I liked it so much when I bought it. Lowering this car def improves the look

Nice work
