New to the G

hey guys, new to the site and new owner of a 6mt 05 G35 coupe w/Navi. havent done anything to yet but i wanted some rims. i also need some springs and shocks. was thinking of going coilover, but its too expensive and i dont plan on raising the car back up after its drop. i had an accord before and bought my rims on eBay and had H&R race springs with Tokico blue shocks (good ride), anyone know of a good shop in Sac? Motorsport Dynamics is closed and SMA doesnt carry too much stuff. its been a while since ive modded a car so im sure there are some new spots to check out. thanks again guys!

ps. i was also looking into getting some minimal audio work. keeping the stock radio and adding a PAC iPod adapter and sub...

Congrats, welcome and happy modding.

This is hands down the best site to be on when owning a G.

Good luck

There is shop called Mattz Garage on Auburn in Sacramento. This guys does mainly Nissan & Infiniti. His next door buddy can get you a lot of mods and Mattz garage installs them. I spoke to Matt in person over an hour and he is very noligable. His shop is always full, so that tells me something. Anyways look him up.

Very good price & great ride.

I have no complaints about the ride on my TEIN Basics, and that's with my car is slammed on 20's.
