Thanks, I'm holding out for new wheels...I want to go with some Enkei RPF-1, 19". I know they are an older wheel, but I've always liked 'em!!!

Haven't seen them on a G35 sedan, but they look good as hell on everything else...










Nice hijack btw...

If you have a sport tuned suspension, then just get z springs, and call it a day. The cheapest and the best way to do it. You dont have to worry about getting struts as u have a sport setup already.
im interested to see whatr your going to do. thanks for the info, pickin some z track edition springs up on sunday.. in your guys experience how much should i pay to have them installed?

You shouldn't.

See if you can borrow or buy some decent spring compressors. It's not all that hard of a job. Might not hurt to have a breaker bar handy, the bolt on the bottom of one of my shocks was stupid-tight.

^^hahahah okay maybe anywhere in the northeast, not the east coast hahah florida is definitely not an option. thanks though, hahah any takers further north?


btw ckkone, your drop looks good, and its good to hear you are happy, it really made me think twice about getting z springs.. i just dont think i want to go aftermarket. oh and i think those rims look nice on certain cars, but like you said never seen them on a g, let us know how it looks when you get them on

Don't do it yourself lol is harder than it looks. Some things are just meant to be done by the pros. Install on springs costs around 200 though

If you get the rpf1, please dont get the 19x8.5 +42. You should go with the 19x8.5 +22. You will have a nice aggressive offset and I think with some concave.

And what about the rear....19x9.5 +22 as well?

And what tire size would fit?
