Alright guys. My first mod is coming up in about a month or so and I'm semi noob at modding. Research time.

I was thinking of dropping my g35 about a inch or two. What kind of struts and springs do you recommend? How would I go about doing this? What should I get first? I was planning on going with Tein's coil overs but my friend says it's pretty sketchy I want the look and the performance. Any suggestions?

 

is comfort an issue?

 

I wonder if some of the problems with tein springs are from the cheap imitation that have the tein stickers and markings on it.

 

Nah, i've read some posts about the teins making noise. Pretty sure not imitations cause they were from reputable shops.
Get yourself the mrev instead, heard it works wonder for the newer G's

 

I dont really care about comfort, I'm in it more for cosmetic and performance

never heard of mrev I'll look into that. Any other suggestions?

 

Actually, now that I think of it, I think I might just buy some springs and lower the car for now. I don't think I'm getting coil overs.

Is this how I would drop my car? Get new springs and use my stock shocks?

 

Get the Tanabe springs...I have them on my car and they work great. I still have my stock shocks as well....waiting for them to give out before replacing.... They have 3 different spring ratings too. Here is the write up!

TANABE SUSTEC DF210

Super Low Down Form

The Perfect Drop & Ideal Balance


INFINITI G35 Coupe

Specifications:

Spring Rates:



FR: 6.3kg/mm
RR: 7.0kg/mm

Lowering Data:


FR: 1.6"
RR: 1.6"


The DF210 coil spring offers a large drop, while retaining superb ride quality characteristics. The spring rate is raised 10-15% to compensate for the shortened amount of suspension travel, without over stiffening the spring rate and affecting ride quality and shock lifespan.

The DF210 is unique in that it provides an excellent range of benefits, from it's extremely low stance, to performance and comfort. Overall, the DF210 is extremely well balanced for those looking to lower their car, increase handling potential, and comfort.

For those who want the lowest drop.

All of our coil springs feature SUSTEC 210 Technology. Sustec 210 Technology is a series of manufacturing methods developed to create a stronger, thinner, and lighter spring using only high tensile steel, without adding additional elements that could affect quality, durability, or price. "210" stands for 2100n/m of tensile strength, which is the highest strength ever acheived in a coil spring. The Tanabe Shiga factory in Japan is home to some of the most advanced, unique coil spring machines and processes in the world!

 

+2 for the DF's from Tanabe. works well with Dspecs/Koni Yellows.

 

I hope you're not going too low, the coupes have a hard enough time with the stock height as it is with hawaii's roads being how crappy it is and jacked up parking structures like victoria ward centre.

 

i actually wanted to drop my car about an inch. would the sustec be low enough for it to look nice and not hit? When I say I mean hit speed bumps.

Thanks alot for the info.

 

it says the tanabe sustec is 2 inch drop...

 

if you're only going for an 1" drop, get the Tein S Techs. nothing is wrong with them coupled up with oem shocks. if you want performance more than the comfort they offer, pair them up with either dpecs, or koni yellows.

 

I just got my tints done at special t tinting. 20% hehehe
Some guy there told me to go with shakajoes shocks and springs any idea what they are? never heard of him. He also told me it'd be better if I just cut my stock springs

 

 

why the ??
sorry, I'm newb at modding lol just researching thanks for input though hehehe
