Hey G35 Gys and gals,

So i Finally got my 19" Oem Rays on my 03 Sedan and im sitting sock.
Im not looking for a slammed look but more or a rake look.
I have 2 options,
1# stock 05 g35 coupe front and rear springs
or
2# tein S

also im running 225/40/19" all around but the backs look funny
thinking of getting a fatter back tire
any recommondations?
Thanks again!

 

Well how much of a drop are you looking for?
The OEM coupe springs will drop you .5" all around and the H-techs are 2"f and 1.3"r I believe. If you go with the H-tech you will probably want to get some camber arms (+toe for the rear).

Why only those two options? What about a G/Z set-up that will give you the raked look? Or Tanabe springs?

 

With pretty much any drop with the 19's your gonna need some fender work done....

you'll find everything you need to know in the suspension section as well

 

4D the drop you mentioned pertains to the S Techs, not the H Techs.

OP here's a pic of my car in a previous set up dropped on S Techs on coupe 19s. I was also running 245/40 all around.

 

I have a raked setup on my car.. i went with 350z tein htechs up front for a 1.3 drop and stock 350z rears for a 1" drop..
I like it, but I am still on stock 17's

It is a bit of a hassle going with 2 different types of springs, but in the end, I only spend $200 on both sets ($160 for the teins on ebay, and $40 for the z springs on ebay)

I will see if I can dig up a pic

 

I'm actually looking to do the same thing but i was gonna try s-tech's up front but i was thinking that may drop it to low lol. Right now i'm just full z all the way around and i need to even out the drop big time. I hear the H-techs are stiffer

 

the h techs arent much stiffer in the front and softer in the rear
z springs are 314lb F 427lb R
vs 350z teins 358lb F 375lb R

I ran the teins all the way around for a while, and it rides better than having the z springs in the rear, but with an even drop the car doesnt look as good to me..
it makes the back look lower due to the way the fenders are

I will take a pic and post it tonight when I get home from work.. I didnt have any here

 

on your 17's are you 225-50 up front? Try and shoot me a pic of your front wheel gap if you can man. *edit...will stay tuned in for pic, are you on stock suspension? Or Z?

 

I took a pic tonight, unfortunatley I was fairly deep into a bottle of tequilla before I remembered to do it, so it is just a quick snapshot in my driveway

to rehash, this is my car today with 350z revised rear springs and tein 350 z htech fronts sitting on stock 17's with 225/50r17 michelin tires and stock sport suspension struts




it is definately not slammed.. but I am older and just wanted it to look more sporty, without looking like "street racer X", not to mention that I bottom out plenty as it is

it is fairly late in the day so it is hard to get an idea of the gap.. I have 2 full fingers in the rear and a tight 2 fingers in the front.. my fender height is ~25 3/4" in the front and 26" in the rear
if you really want a closeup of the gap, I will take one

 

hmm.. I fail at internets

thats better

 

this is from last week with the teins all the way around.. it is only a small differance (like less than 1/4")
it looks good in this pic, but in real life I like the back higher
with the teins I had less gap in the rear than in the front

I see, you must be on your stock shocks and struts?

 

worn out stock red sport struts..

I have been wanting to change them for a while, but I wanted to get my stance right first, in case I HAD to have coilovers

I think I am happy where it is at - I would like it lower, but even the small change with the tein rear springs makes my bottoming out much worse (when I go to work, even at an angle I have to go slow and just drag the exhaust), so I will probably just leave it and order the cheap tokico blues now, probably the shorter ones for the 350

 

. Good catch, thanks Blue Dream.

 

Coupe rear / Z fronts.
