advice

Guys,

I'm looking for some advice on how to economically, and safely eliminate the massive wheel gaps I have on my G (front end in particular). Not looking to be super low...something subtle but still nice looking and comfortable.

While I know coils are probably a favourite of everyone,I can't see investing $1000 into a 10 year old car with 180k.

I'm wondering what people would recommend:

- Lowering springs alone (concern about destroying OEM shocks)?
- Springs + shocks?
- Full Z suspension?
- Cheap coils?

Any product recos would also be appreciated.

Z coils in front, Coup springs in back, new shocks will be needed within a year.

That will give you 1" of drop and make it look much better.

BC Coilovers, spc front and rear adjustable camber/toe. On SSR GVT01 19x9.5 ET 38 and 19x8.5 ET 35 with 5mm spacer. I should be the first guy in the states running these on a G35.

Just got the 350z front + G coupe rear with Z struts all around in my non-sport 06' Sedan. Got oem coupe 19's with 225/40 & 245/40, for some reason the fronts look a little higher compared to many pics i've seen of the z/g combo (about 2-3 finger gap in the front, and only 1 finger gap in the rear..), but i'll probably get slightly bigger tires in the front to fill in the gap. Overall, handling feels a lot better and stable during decently sharp turns

Give it a month to "settle in", they will drop a bit more yet. Mine looks lower because I'm running 245 45 19 all round. That gave me the same rolling circumference as stock and my speedo is correct.
