Thanks. Yeah I love it. And definitely would not want it any lower when looking under the front of the car and seeing the clearance that's there now.

 

looks clean!

 

man, that is the cleanest drop on a g35 i've ever seen... i've got a question for you though, how was the ride comfort after you installed the front springs(before cutting the rear)? i live in los angeles where you don't have to worry about weather; you gotta trip about potholes. honestly i had a slammed car before my g35, and i'm so sick of worrying about every single dip and bump.

 

Ride quality hasn't changed much, if at all, with either the springs or the springs/rear shock mount mod. If you like the look and the only thing that is holding you back is the fear of the ride quality, trust me, you have nothing to worry about.

 

Did u use part # 4N905R for the 09+ 370z springs? That part # is for OEM 370z Sport Springs

 

Honestly I'm not sure. My mechanic ordered them directly from Nissan. I know for a fact they were 370Z sport springs, but I can't tell you the year of the vehicle they were made for. Possibly someone else can chime in on this?

 

Thanks u actually answered my question in full. The listing I found is for 370z sport springs...and I was making sure that you used the sport 370z springs...since nothing shows up without "sport" in the end

 

Coilovers can go close to stock height but it would be pointless to do that
Also, you say no more drop now as many of us do at first haha I did it too then bought coilovers and lowered my car more and more

Im also in a snowy state - WI - with a rwd sedan and the height honestly doesnt make a difference to me in the winter

 

I like the drop. I'm in the same bucket as you. I live in Toronto, ON. We get a decent chunk of snow every year. I've been looking at lowering my X and I think this is the solution.

As for everybody else nagging on you, last time I checked, it's your money and spend it on what makes YOU happy. I like it and I also like the choice of rims.

Keep up the good work,

 

Not hating on you at all, but my main height concern is not the bumper, it's the front differential! Literally it is inches off the ground as it is right now. Anyone who lowers an AWD 2nd gen sedan more than I did is asking for EXTREME trouble if they run over something in the road or hit a speed bump or other kind of obstacle too hard/fast. It is a disaster waiting to happen. The factory height of the front diff. is not that high to begin with, so lowering it at all is just increasing the likelihood of something bad happening.

As it turns out, I don't even drive my car in the RAIN anymore, much less snow, so now I'm just more concerned about running over something in the road that shouldn't be there.

 

Thanks man. To date, I've still had zero problems with the setup (on fairly limited miles, probably around 5,000 or so). Good luck with the drop!

 

has anyone tried the NISMO springs? apparently they are .5in shorter than the sport springs....

 

i think i am going this route fellas.

matts, close to ephrata? have family there.

 

Bat, good choice. You won't be disappointed. And yes, I'm in Ephrata all the time! Actually selling my car though. It's listed on this site right now.

 

so cut 5/8" off the Upper mount?

Im in Ephrata every couple of months and I am always amazed by the amount of modified cars in the area.
