if i get s techs will i rub?

245/45/18 are my tires. if so i will settle for h techs.

i don't like how high the car is in the front compared to the back. i want it to even out, and also have a little bit of the 'lowered' look. i don't have money for coilovers right now. also i did have new front control arms put on to adjust camber so i should be good.


basically i wanna go as low as i can without rubbing and buying new tires

Most likely your wheels will tuck in after the drop and you may not rub. You may want to pick up camber kits too

Are you getting G35 S-tech or 350z S-tech?

I have not heard of anyone rubbing on springs unless they were cut to be made shorter but I dont believe there are any springs lower than 350z S-tech.

I would probably go with the g35. I read it will lower the front more than the back so it will even out the gap

you wouldnt put $50 to rolling the fenders to have a nice lowered car? to me $50 to do it is SOO worth being lower.
I am on 350z S-tech I never rolled fenders for a year and I have the EXACT same tire size you do.
When I got camber kit and toe bolt a year and a half later I got my fenders rolled when they installed the camber arms and toe bolts

You tend to be an over thinker I can tell. I am like that too sometimes but in the end it always works out when you just go for it and RELAX.. get your S-techs everything will be fine

I thought rolling them would cost like a couple hundred. Is the gap in the front and year tires the same? Any pics of your car?

OP where are you located? Rolling your fenders won't be anywhere near a couple hundred bucks.

I live in phoenix arizona. Someone told me it would cost a couple hundred. But my main priority is lowering my car so the fender is right above the tire so there's not much space. I hate hate hate how the front is so high compared to the back. I'm wondering if I get springs if it'll lower it all and the front and back still won't be even

did you look at the suspension thread??? if you want to lower it to loose the wheel gap H-techs will not loose the wheel gap just make it smaller. I pretty much lost my wheel gap with 350z S-techs

No more wheel Gap
