Not yet. Eibach is working on theirs right now for my car. Don't let anyone try to shoe horn the 2006 kit in by altering the rear crossmember.

Don't sweat it ... you can go like this for a while.

Yeah, its only going to cause tire wear....

as for the alignment, I paid $75 for nothing! The front wasnt adjusted at all, can it be? The note on the bill states that there is no manufacturer camber/caster adjustment on the front.

I guess they did help the rear out a few tenths.

350z springs will work. As far as G35 coupe springs the front springs will not lower the front of the sedan that much /2 inch at best. The rear springs will lower the car I got close to a 1 inch drop in the rear on G35coupe springs. 350z spring in the rear will give you 1 inch drop. Sport package G35 sedans 03 thru 05 are using unrevised 350z springs(03 thru 04) springs and unrevised G35coupe springs (03 thru 04 or 05 thru 07 with 18" wheels) on stock shocks they have the same spring rates as our sport package springs so not as much wear on the sport package shocks as a none sport.

bad pics, but pics...

Ok, here are the promised pictures. I took 83 pictures this evening at 2 locations thinking I would have some awesome shots, unfortunately, something was whacked out with my camera. I have approximately 70 solid black pictures and none of the others came out crisp at all Here are the best 3 so far... sorry they suck. I will try and do it again soon!

You have PLENTY of ideas. haha. I have been thinking about tint, probably something like 35%, but I would be sooo tempted to do the windshield and I would prob get 50 tickets. I have weak eyes, maybe my eye Dr. would write me a letter?!?! haha.

I want to get some better pics...

OH- and about those measurements, it looks like it is about 26 3/8 to the highpoint in the fenderwell all around. That of course is with aftermarket wheels and tires, so we cannot really compare it to yours I guess...

hokievick -- I'm not a fan of slammed cars at all...I prefer drops that just cut out most of the wheel gap. That being said, your drop and those wheels look GREAT. I'd leave it as is....
