So within the next week I'll be the proud owner of a 2003 G35 Sedan. I love the car just the way it is, but I'd like to get into some modifications on it. The problem is I've never dropped a car, stretched a tire, or anything along those lines.
I'd really appreciate some specific suggestions on how to make it sit low and flush and look good, all around. As far as Rim dimensions, tire sizes, spacers, camber kits, springs/struts, body kits, etc.
I don't know who's G this is, but this is the general style I'm going for.
Just to say... If you want your car too look like that you better have a healthy budget and a daily diver too drive around...
As far as budget, I don't feel like that's a problem unless I decide it has to be done in a single day. Lol
And my daily driver is a poor little Ford Escort from '94
Well, that's a start for sure... I'd suggest you do your research and take time to learn about your car if you don't know that much.. Any question you have just google it and put g35driver at the end of it... Do that for a few months and you should be an expert on your decisions you have about modding..

Make sure you either have access to lifetime alignment or do all of your suspension mods together. Otherwise you'll have to take it in to get realigned every time you mess with the major suspension components.

A lifetime (or some places do 5yr alignments, which is cool too) alignment is necessary with this car. So are adjustable control arms in front and back, as well as toe bolts out back. When lowering and changing suspension parts, every time you change ANYTHING it changes the geometry of the suspension. Do not cheap out on control arms. It's not only about quality, but amount of adjustability.

Thanks, I've got a friend of mine with more knowledge of the car on board to help me out.

Having the back-up daily diver is an essential part of the process.
