If you cannot afford $800 for coilovers than you shouldn't even be modding your car to begin with.
The camber will destroy the tires.

I'm simply asking you to answer my questions. Exactly where did I recommend anything??
Perhaps this is why threads like these get so long.

So are you recommending cut springs or wishing you owned G35 and posting on here to be a smart ***?

Aside from the fact that I'm biased towards Brilliant Silver cars, I think whatever he does is his business. If he gets advice to the contrary why bother trying to convince him after the fact.
Perhaps he should have done more research before making the mods but in this world there are people who learn by "doing" and those that learn by "reading". Personally I feel that actually trying something makes you a lot wiser... even if it was a bad decision -- and certainly better than sitting on your a$$ being critical of other peoples' choices.
Kudos to audible... for getting off his and taking on something with his own hands and getting the results that made him happy.

Damn...
I haven't logged on in about a week or so...and this DRAMA is what I get to come back to?!
hehehe...pretty funny/entertaining to read!
My 2-cents:
I think we can all agree that cut-springs aren't the right way to lower a car...much less a nice car like an "Infiniti". However, the guy did say it was a cost related decision...in addition to the fact that he likes his car super low. I don't think I'm a ricer, but I like my cars really low too. I know its bad for tire-life...I can deal w/ it. About the camber, I prefer it that way...turns quicker.
About GTing...dude, somebody suggested that you show us YOUR ride. Why don't you? That way you can back yourself up instead of coming off as simply a hater. If you really know that much, and apparently have alot of money to buy "the best" stuff...show us, then you can talk as much sh*t as you'd like. If "19 OE wheels on slammed Sedan" is played out & useless...how about "Volks...Ing+1...overlays"? All that sh*t is played out too...EVERYONEs got'em! So what makes yours unique & not a waste of thread space? What do YOU have on YOUR car? SHOW US
Y'know...we're all on these forums to get each others' opinions & suggestions. But, I think too many people just don't communicate right. They word their responses w/o tact or thought. If you don't intend to hate, just stating that you don't like something...there are ways to say it "nicely". Instead of "that sh*t is ugly"...how about "its not for me"? How easy is that? We should be a group of "fellow enthusiasts"...where's the camaderie???
Can't we all jsut get along??? =P LOL

its simple, i bought the S Techs cause they were the lowest springs available. they are not racing springs nor make the handling any better. the front is about stock stiffness and the back is way way softer. i thought i would like to see how it looked a little lower so i cut about 3/4 inch off them. they are hundred dollars shi tty springs. i like how it looks so i am ordering the coilovers. i know cutting the springs isnt the proper way to adjust a racing suspension setup, but it did accomplish what i was looking for till my coilovers arrive...

Looks lousy. s-techs are low enough to begin with to cut them will destroy any coil rate and the entire dynamics. "Temporary" ya right rice excuse.
Do not install cut springs!!!
Yet another winning thread on G35 Sedan forum!!

Gting, perhaps you could tell us all what set-up you're running since you seem to know so much about the sedan and suspension.

Ya you can afford N20 rice juice and get 105 mph trap which is hillarious for a 100shot. And you cut yoru springs to "slam" your car? Oh no your not a ricer. I bet you never even ordered coilovers.

It obviously doesn't take much to become a premier member, lol. GTING, where are the pics of your car. Here is the link to mine, in case you feel like hating on me.

Hey "DJ" or "King" aka Alan No offence I have seen tons of much nicer looking Coupes than yours. I don't care if you have a TT set up. Your car is nothing special to look at so keep on spending money (running debt like Americans love to do) to get props on the internet on threads that have nothing to do with your car.
Does your car have cut springs as well? Yes I am a "cut spring" hater! Yes I am!
Good to see your FL boys defending one another... Go cut some springs...

I have stock springs. I spent the money on myself, not to get gratification from someone on this board. For someone that's hating on 19" coupe rims why did you ask this question?

Although I don't agree with the mannerisms here, I do have to say cut springs will lead to problems such as a compressed shock which will cause the shock to leak its fluids rendering it useless...pretty soon your car will ride VERY bumpy, hard and creak everywhere you go...
