It already handles really good with just the Z/coupe springs and the Avon M550 rubber.

All the suggestions are very good.
Mine is stock aero and premium and I love the cornering!
But then again I had a Dodge Caravan before this!

i cant believe ur comparing a luxury sedan with an awd sport sedan!! common now, an EVO?... of course you're going to be dissappointed, i would be too. and comparing it to a camry?!...well, yeah maybe that might be true (if u got base model) well, do whatever the other ppl told you to do, they know whats up.

sorry but i didn't care to read the rest of the post after i read urs. i just fest compelled to strike while the fire was still lit. call me f*d up if you'd like, but i think that post should have gotten flammed up the a**

The G35 is a luxury sports car. But the EVO in the other hand, is a rally inspired sports sedan freak. I think a better term would be go-kart race car in terms of its handing abilities.

You guys make me wanna go from my 245 Front 255 back to some even wider meats for next summer =)

But +1000 for what the other people have said about the G's stock suspension. About the comparison between Bimmers and G... you would also notice that the CG is quite a bit lower in the BMW, if you ever compare a stock 330 to a stock G sedan, you will discover that you are easily seating more than 2 inches lower in the BMW.

If you doubt the G potential, check out this vid. It beats a current gen Corvette (though with some mods).

Nice vid, but that C6 walked that G35. On the straights the vette was gone. Only reason the G passed him was because the vette gave him a courtesy pass.

haha, i agree, but with the right modds, our sedans can be beasts out there on the street and fun to drive. all i did was lower my car with way way better gripping tires than stock, T1r , and its just stuck to the road. My friend with an 06 coupe lowered w/ sways, couldn't believe it when i hit the corner on ramps from the frwy. Wayy better than stock.

which is what most of us did
