hey when u guys lowered your cars did you do just lowering springs or did u get special struts or shocks? Cause i want to get 18s and i might lower the car if all i need is the lowering springs without damaging my suspension.

Will the coupes stock 19's fit the sedan if you use 4 of the coupes front rims and tires?

Those look incredible and would make the sedan look bad a.s!!!

i just used the 350Z springs.

LESSON LEARNED: I actually got the entire suspension package from a 2005 350z, springs, struts, and shock, and originally put them on. BAD IDEA. the struts and shocks are shorter than the G35 (duh...) and they ride rough. I think the struts and shocks just aren't designed for the additional weight, Etc. The car was very stiff. I switched the rear shocks back to the G35 shocks and WOW, big difference. The car rode good, very tight up front and nearly no sway. I though it was a little much. so i switched the struts back to the G35 and that's the combo I liked the most. The car rides better, yet still has improved handling over the G35 stock setup.

My opinion...

Try the 350z springs with a set of Tokico D-spec shocks. This is the setup I am going to use. The reviews of this combo have been fantastic.
