No bouncing at all. If you "jump" off a big bump, it will bounce twice but is settles really quickly. If you want to lower the sedan, GET THOSE 350Z springs. It's not dramatic, but really does change the handling. I would recommend to anyone. Also, looking on the web, you can get a set for cheap. I got springs and shocks (freshly off an 05 track edition) for $140 shipped. Can't beat that!

Ha! Thanks bro. I'm a clean freak. I won't show you the other side, it's all organized with cabinets, lights, and a flat panel with Dish network (Hey, you gotta have something to watch in the garage right?)

Thanks man. I loved your ride too, and have read a ton of your posts. Actually, I know NOTHING of all these meets, Norcal meets, Etc but would be interested. Got any more info on that stuff? Send it. Thanks.

And installation, where would get those put in?

Spring Questions:
No doub t that I got a killer deal, the guy was kinda beat up by another user at a 350z site, and I was in the right place at the right time (lucky me). I didn't want the shocks and struts, but he wasn't going to remove them and had just gotten some coilovers (i doubt he cared). I got the whole suspension package super cheap. It was on one of the 350Z forums (similiar to the G35driver site).
As for the install? Did it myself. My buddy is a X-mechanic, and happens to have a spring compressor at his house. We swapped out the suspension in like 35min flat (he's awesome).
I did try the full 350Z suspension first (springs and shocks) and it was WAY FIRM for my taste. I switched back to the stock G35 shocks and struts w/350Z springs, and that was the winning ticket for me. It just felt more balanced in my opinion. I think that it's a great setup, lowered the car the heights I wanted, and it ride really nice. The G sedan should have come this way from the factory.
