My only worry is if I go lower than the z springs...I might rub. And I don't wanna put in money for the fenders to be rolled be cause I wanna paint the bottom gray plastic around the outside of my car and I'm sure that will be pretty pricey

if u plan to go lower, or get rims later. you're gonna have to deal with it sooner or later.

Rolled fenders are 100 bux tops.?? Seriously. ?? U probably complain about how much gas costs to fill the tank too ... I say leave it alone and save ur money to do things right. Start off by SEARCHING the forums. If that doesnt work. Sell your g, buy a civic, and with the left over money u might b able to mod IT correctly..
Deal.?

might as well pick up coilovers which has an adjustable spring and depending on model/brand you can adjust the dampers.
if you pick up coils, any 350z or g35 coupe or sedan, don't matter. they'll work. if money is an issue look for a cheap deal on teins basics or megans. save up a few more dough and get some used bc's or stance.
figure out what you wanna do long term, and do it right the first time.
I appreciate the help. I have 135,000 miles on my g so I didn't wanna put in too much money. I used to have 22s (lol) on it and now that I took them off I can't stand how boring it is. I don't plan on buyin new rims or tires for a while cuz I just bought some tires and if I go too low I may rub and then have to get skinnier tires which would suck cuz I just spend like 700 on themOriginally Posted by dkhuynh
want to save money? by getting springs.. sure as long as you are determined not to change the height of your car or get rims. the installation is gonna cost you money, then when you need new shocks, that's gonna cost you installation. and if u decide to go lower, new set of coils, installation is gonna get you again.might as well pick up coilovers which has an adjustable spring and depending on model/brand you can adjust the dampers.

I'm gonna ask my friend that works at nissan/infiniti to tell me what he can get them for. not sure what to ask him though, its a 2003 non sport. Should I ask for G/Z springs and struts? Or should I ask him for coilovers. Again I would like to go lower as possible with out my 235/45/18 tires rubbing so I don't have to spend more money on tires/fender roll

I was guessing like $300 so that aint bad at all. Originally Posted by alfhasg35

I have NO problem spending money but the car does have 135k miles that's the main thing on my mind, I don't want to spend a grand on suspension, paint, etc and then it die in a year

Lowering ur car as low as u can before it rubs opens up a can of worms. Issues with alignment, camber, toe, tires, rubbing, etc.. There is no failsafe cheap way to lower ur car. It's goin to cost you money. Now I understand a lil better about not wanting to spend the money. It has a gangload o miles..
And 22's..? Really.??
Let see some pix of ur donk before U took em off...

if you have no problems spending money, then just do a v8 swap if the engine dies and call it a dayOriginally Posted by Cody

I also recently had new control arms and bushings I think it is. Basically so my tires run flat, not at an angle and wear down the inside. Will that benefit me at all when looking for new suspension

Did you see the link I posted. You will be fine. Btw you will most likely will rub when the coupe wheel and tire size, especially when you have passengers. So just get your fenders roller. You are located in Az right. I bet you can get some help from ttrank.
