GuLater,
I moved your thread to the appropriate forum for you. (Wheels, Brakes, Tires, and Suspension). and left a redirect to here.

Welcome to G35Driver, congrats on the new G, and good luck with your mods.

What oem sized wheels do you have (this tells me what 05 suspension you have?

1. What do you want out of the lowering springs, just a lowered stance?
2. If you wish for more then just lowering, detail what else your wanting.
3. Also mention how much you want the car lower, give a min and a max amount that will make you happy.

I have ROJA 19 inch formula 7. 8.5 in front with 245/35/19 tire and 10.0 in rear with 275/30/19. I just want the gap gone but I do not want the ride quaility to go away. I would like a 1.1 in front and 1.0 in back.

I'll jump in because I too am looking to lower my 2005 coupe. I have the 19" OEM (Sports suspension) and am looking to lower it slightly (just to look more aggressive). I am trying to avoid the use of toe bolts, camber arm, coilovers, etc. Using the search feature, , I have discovered anything more than .7" will require additional expense. I am looking for something right around there but will avoid the H-Techs for G35 as the specs make the car handle worse (from what I can tell). Any thoughts? Thanks

Can anybody help with the 2005 coupe 19" sport suspension upgrade? Should I upgrade or keep it stock? I like the ride now but like a lower, more aggressive stance. Thanks

In your case, Tein H-tech's ment for the 350Z. You will need to invest in either a $240 SPC rear camber arm/toe bolt setup or just the SPC camber and toe bolts for in think $180. A more performance driven choice would be RSR downsprings ment for the 350Z, but they would drop you too much to avoid the need for front camber arms. But Cusco does now have front camber arms out now for a respectable price, $389.

I'm looking to lower my sedan (enough to stay within spec or avoid spending extra money on additional camber kits)...and would like to keep the same or better ride quality. What would you or anyone else with an opinion suggest? I have the sedan with sport suspension.

thanks
