Photoshoot - 2005 G35s with new shoes

Definitely not cheap, but cheapER.
My buddy had those come stock on his SRT4. He loves them. He hasn't autox'd yet, but he said he hasn't gotten them to break loose yet(yes, it's front wheel drive), even in the wet. I'm considering them for replacements on both mine and Cheryl's car.

Were you on the stock sport shocks? I was actually thinking of going S. Tech + Tokico D Specs. +38 on a 9.5 rim is a really aggressive rear offset for the sedan.... oh how I wish our RWD sedan actually had RWD offsets...

I am currently on stock sport shocks. From what I have read about the S.Tech + D-Spec, I fear that the suspension will still be too soft due to softer than OEM rear spring rates.

Very, very, very SWEET. Nice, the drop really compliments your wheels which are beautiful. Would look good with centercaps though.

Very clean look, which I like. I haven't seen too many IP sedans in the bay area, let alone, ones that are modded. +38 is quite aggressive since I'm running +39 in the rear which caused me to roll my fenders. Anyhow, I'll be sure to honk when I see you on the road!

The ride feels exactly the same as it did when I was at stock height on my OEM 18's. Yes, the S.Tech's are underdampened at this point, and that's why I mentioned that I ordered a set of coilovers. With or without passengers in my car, the ride is smooth and in no way spine-busting.
