Sitting low. New springs

I want to say a big Thank u to APS MIKE for helping a brother out.

Over all the ride is not that bad. I'm gonna get an alignment this week and I hope that goes well. I hope I don't need camber arms for the front. Ebach pro kit springs and Ichiba rear camber.

The front is about 1.2 or 1.5 inch front and the rear about an inch 1.1. I have notice that it does have less body roll when taking corners.. I guess that because the center of gravity is lower. Since I have gotten them I have rubbed the bottom going into a shopping plaza. I guess I have to find a different tacobell hehehe.

Here is a couple of pic's (yea i know I suck at taking pictures.. I'm trying to learn)

Thanks bro, but I'm not going any lower.. The speed bumps, curbs, banks, and shopping plaza's will knock the bottom out the car if I go any lower.

I was thinking about getting the Eibach Pro kit too, how do you like it so far? And do you have a link for the Ichiba camber kit you got? Is it enough correction to prevent accelerated tire wear? TIA

So far they are not bad.. They do feel a lot better over the stock springs when it comes to corners. Seems to me less body roll, due to the fact that the springs are stiffer then the stock ones. Also seem like i'm feeling more bumps in the road. If you check out b2b auto design in the market place u will find the link.. They are located in Tampa.. for example i ordered monday and had them tuesday.. Good price.. 130 total.. As far as the ajustabilliy they seem to have +- 3 degrees of adjustable, but i'll know more after i get it aligned this week.

here is the link

Weird that you mention that you have less body roll. Reason being is that the Eibach Pro springs have a LOT softer spring rates than the OEM sport and even non-sport.

According to the " https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-...w-updates.html "


Oem linear springs
G35 coupes with oem 17’s & 18’s
G35 sedan’s with sport suspension
350Z’s 2003/2004 (unrevised)
Front:314 Rear:342

Oem linear springs
G35 coupes 2005/2006 with oem 19’s only
350Z 2004.5 to 2006 (revised suspension)
Front:314 Rear:427


Eibach G35 Coupe progressive springs 1.1”/1” drop on G35 coupe
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 229/337 initial/final rear 274/463

Disregarding the final rate (cause you'd have to push it pretty hard for the progressive springs to fully compress), they're a decent amount softer.


But regardless, it does look good. Maybe it'll settle in another .1-.2 in the coming week or so.

Looking good!

What kind of lug nuts are those? I was thinking of going black as well with my new set of wheels (they're silver too).
