After sifting through this thread for the past 5 or so days I decided to register to the forum along with the 350z one. I thought I was done with the modding phase with my e46 several years back but apparently not, currently looking for the ztube to do that with the k&n first. Then I would like to tackle the ddin, and wanted to know if I could just get the Metra kit and plug and play http://www.ebay.com/itm/Metra-99-760...ea0099&vxp=mtr like that one i guess. Would that be the most cost efficient route other than hacking it myself?

Quality = no
Metra kits have been known to be subpar in terms of quality. Get the JDM

Hey Guys,
I got a friend of a friend who's selling his Tein Monoflex coilovers off of his G35 coupe. He's selling it for $1200 CAD with the EFDC controller included. Not sure how long he had them on for but they look like they're in pretty good condition.
It's basically this versus getting brand new BC coilovers (Also around $1200ish after duties), so it's a hard call between some JDM YO coilovers vs something brand new.
What would you do if you were in my position?

Lowering it and putting spacers on it (or new wheels with the correct offset) will make it look 20x better, however, I would not do it unless you understand that it should be done correctly, otherwise it could start costing you a lot of money in tires and other suspension parts
Your suspension has been sitting in the same position for 12 years, and lowering it will change the geometry of all those parts. Ball joints, bushings, toe bolts and camber kits should be a part of your plan if you decide to go for it.
Nice G BTW. I like the early sedans with the spoilers. I would take off those door bumpers tho. Haha
