OEM 350z springs and struts. About an inch drop and you keep your ride quality. One thing to consider is your tire/rim set up and the offset they have.

I've seen a handful of Gs dropped on Tein springs and liked how they looked overall. Pair those up with some quality shocks and I think you'd have a nice setup.

i literally put on my new kyb shocks/struts 3 days ago and man, what a difference. love the ride, sporty but not too rough. and i especially love the way it hugs the corners. im lowered on teins now and im really enjoying this setup

I didnt think anyone made aftermarket front struts for an 04 g35x. Am I wrong? If so does anyone have part numbers?

I'm also looking for struts for the 04 g35x. I understand the fronts are different than the g35 rwd and 350z. But I could put 350z struts on the rear right?

That's a first on this forum.

Just replace your shocks/struts with something like the Tokico HPs and you're good to go.

From what I have read the rears are the same as the coupe, RWD and 350z just the fronts are different
