A really good set of shock and struts isnt much cheaper then coilovers, the real difference is from the install unless you do it yourself
If you lower your car you will need front and rear camber arms and toe bolts (I have SPC and they are great) and then you will need an alignment
When it comes down to it the price difference is a few hundred bucks if you get BC coilovers like I did, or stance which a lot of people run because they go really low
I was in the same boat as you and figured I would change to coilovers in the future so I didnt want to waste the money on shocks and struts

Checking your oil dipstick..
Hey guys, might be the wrong place to post this, but im having an incredibly difficult time getting an accurate reading on my oil. Ive tried reading it numerous times and it just seems to be all over the place. The majority of the oil collection is on the bottom of the dipstick were the metal twirls , the rest is all over the stick, its in such an awkward position, any advice on what I should do? Engines not making a clicking sound or anything like that (knock on wood) so Id rather be safe then sorry, and be able to tell accurately. 05 coupe 6mt

I'm an Arizona G owner and new to this forum, I am having trouble locating other G owners in my Tucson area. I would love to find some meet ups and or shows in the Tucson/Phoenix area. where would be the best place to look so I can meet other like minded peeps. heard of a Z meet in Phx. but haven't seen any info.

A simple transmission question (auto)
I serviced my last week. (2003)
I put in 4 quarts, I checked it, it seemed too high, then I read it should have been 3.5 quarts.
I drained about 1/2 a quart out. I drove it to work. after I got home, I checked it while idling in park. It was low. I shut it off and got ready to add some ATF. I rechecked it while it was off. It was a bit high. My question is does the owners manual say to check hot and off, hot and at idle, or hot and in gear? It a simple question if you have a manual!
I need a manual![Mad](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/mad.gif)
Thanks guys
