2003.0 G35 Sedan. BASE Bone Stock. Looking for advice with upgrades? HELP

Hey Guys,
I am a noob here just trying to gather some feedback about my sedan. As I stated in the title I just bought a 2003.0 Base G35 sedan with 37k miles on it. Yes, I know I was in shock too I got it for a great deal and I am so tired of looking at such a beautiful car with so much potential.

SO. This is where you guys come in for help.

First off, I would like to lower my car, I will be trying to do this myself with some help from my father who has some more experience. Can someone please tell me everything I should buy or is everything just included in the Eibach Pro Lowering Kit?

I am looking to put either 18's or 19's on the vehicle. Most likely 18" OEM Coupe 7 spoke wheels. So I would like to slam it but maintain a decent ride quality

Next, I will be putting on a nismo front bumper (aero replica) from dustin at strafe? Great deal and looking forward to working with him...

I found some sideskirts brand new for $125 on craigslist while visiting in NY. Picking those up tomorrow.

What else do you guys think I should do? Thanks!

Read the stickies, all these questions have been beaten to death.

I also agree with Blue Dream about those being two best bang for buck mods.

Do you have a cloth interior, no sunroof car??


Hell, seeing pics of any no-sunroof G's is just odd. The roof looks weird to me

If you want it slammed, get coilovers or go with the Eibach 350z Sportlines (~2.5") and Tokico Shocks. going that low will require a f&r camber kit. Nismo kit always looks good, pair it up with an 05 lip and you're set.

These types of posts baffle me.
It looks like you have done some research so thats good, but if you want to know what others will recommend or like just look at their cars. Everyone has a different taste/style including you, build your car for yourself. The stickies will cover the most common "good" mods (such as the spacer, sways, intakes (or lack of) etc). If it's not a sticky it's going to be close to the top of a search.
We have all been there.
Congrats on the purchase
