Post Title: Help with 2003 I35 Coilovers Please help me out!
Posted by: parksmopar at 6:34 PM 7/3/2009

Alright Guys here is my problem.

I have a 2003 I35 and I am wanting to find a good set of coilovers to help me lower this thing and still get some ride out of it. I have searched and searched and I have found nothing..

Now I know that the 2003 Max is an A33 chassis and so is my I35. I called Megan Racing and they said that their coilovers for the 03 Max will NOT fit my I35. Now, I have found that both cars use the same struts/shock set up with the EXACT part numbers. So what's the deal..

I need some help please. If they don't fit.. someone please tell me why.. I am having dreams about Google I am doing it so much.

My overall goal is the lower the car about 2 inches or so but still keep a nice comfy ride.. I drive this car everyday and don't want a rail car ride.. Adjustable coilovers would be the best.

Thanks,

Come on guys, please.. I need your advice on what I need to do. I want to get this thing dropped with coilovers before a trip I am getting ready to go on.

Hey whats up..

It all depends on how much your looking to spend.. If money is not an obstacle then I recommend the JIC Magic Coilover's - Your looking at around $1700/1800 for the set.

I've even been given this recommendation from a well respected i30/maxima vendor named Brian Catts with whom many from this site deal with. Check out Cattman.com, and give this guy a call.. He can order these for you at great prices. He'll educate you about all the whats, if's, and how's and answer any and all questions you have to offer.

Good luck!!

What is the common deal for lowering the I35 and keeping a good ride?

I know not everyone will be able to spend 1800 on a set of coilovers?
Has anyone done anything different?
I hate to keep sounding like I don't know what I am doing but I just want to know the right amount of info before I start this.

Thanks.

Lee

There is always the strut and spring alternative, a much cheaper alternative.. you wont get a crazy drop like you could with coilovers, but it'll be a car friendly drop; if your ride is a daily driver this is the most recommended choice. Your then looking at a price range of about $700/800 bucks.. considerably less.

I am no promoter or work for this business, but their word is worth gold in my book. Call the guy I mentioned in my previous reply.. Your interested in suspension info..?

He'll surely guide you in right direction and offers reasonable pricing.
