Finally moddin' my G

Had my 06 G35 Sport for a few months now and I havent really done too much to it, been up in the air about alot of mods but so far heres whats the plan for this weekend.


Just got some new tires. Yokohama AVS ES100's 245x45x18... look pretty mean.

This weekend I'm puttin in some Eibach springs with some Spc camber kits. I went with just the Pro kit because Im not a fan on the super dropped look.
Im hopin the stock 18's will look decent with this drop and tire combo. if anyone has a 1-1.5 inch drop with stock 18 sport rim pics please post so I can take a look-see.

Im goin for just a clean lookin sport sedan. Any other mods you guys think I should look into please let me know. Ill post some pics tommorrow to show some before and after. Thanks guys!

if you have HID headlights they wont work for you. You can split and paint your headlights yourself. There is some info on here about that in the DIY I beleive or in the lighting section.

Be aware that some of those sedan headlights on eBay come with halogen bulbs, not the HID that you need.

You also might look into getting clear corner lenses.

Here's my car with H&R's and 255/40/18's. I like the H&R's because the car sits completly level unlike some other springs that sit a lil higher in the front

Finally got some pictures, eibach 1.1 drop with SPC front and rear camber kits. Basically I didnt want SUPER negative camber cuz I just got some new tires but I went -.5 more than stock all the way around just to give it a little better handling. What you guys think?

Good start to your modding list. I don't want to be a bearer of bad news, but those tires get loud as sh*t as they wear. I had 245/40 AVS ES 100s on my G and the car sounded like a truck with monster mudders on it. I couldn't take it anymore and ordered Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D3 in the same size. Dead silent and they handle like a champ. The AVS did seem to last forever though.
