G35 Sedan Suspension Picture Compilation Thread
#1666
2 year update
Pictures are taken from this past summer
I was straight pipe from the test pipes here. I hit a raised manhole cover and it broke my exhaust at the ypipe. I couldn't avoid it due to heavy traffic on the right and a curb to my left
Black Obsidian is hard to keep clean
My 1st gen X on oem 17s and chopped springs (don't do it your back will hate you) but handles and stops better, no 4x4 wheel gap either. My clearance is about 2-3 inches to the bottom of the side skirt, to the bottom of the exhaust it's a little less. I have a off brand cai, 1/2 plenum spacer, test pipes, vhr racing ypipe w/ no heat shield, and a 2.5" muffler delete into a 2.75" single slant exhaust tip. I also have full led lighting interior, license plate, reverse light. 8000k HID Xenon headlights. Limo 5 percent tint on the rear and 50 tint on the front. blacked out side markers and front grill. Square 225/50r17 Hankook Ventus Noble1 S2 tires w/ 25mm + 3mm spacers (in these picture I was 25+3 front & 25mm rear). The car sounds deep especially around 2-4k. It gets louder and less deep at higher rpms but absolutely no rasp. Some small pops after letting off every now and then. My build was a budget build because I didn't want to spend on mods that were worth more than my car. Just wanted it to look, sound, turn and pull better while still looking like a sleeper. Currently running in full rwd mode.
Next mods in mind are equal length headers and a sc14 supercharger. I can keep the budget build going and make more power. I prefer a turbocharger but I don't have have the fab skills or tools to make my own custom turbo hot side

KYB Excel G is your budget minded (while still name brand) shock/strut (roughly $350 for all 4). A better twin tube option is something like the Tein endurapro PLUS line (roughly $550 for all 4). If you have ANY thoughts of putting the car on the track, or if you drive it pretty hard then I strongly suggest stepping up to a monotube like the Bilstein B6 non adjustable (about $800) or the adjustable Koni yellows (about $950).
The Tokico blues that used to be the budget OEM replacement have been long since discontinued so don't bother looking for them anymore.

Glad I still have some options! mostly I'm want to replace the old ones since they are getting a bit bouncy. While also wanting to get some improvements over handling. I saw the Bilstein B6 and they seem pretty nice, but for my budget, seems like the best I can afford is the Endurapro Plus unless I'm only upgrading the back shocks for now since they are more bouncy than the front.
