Welcome to NICO!!!

You might look in the FAQ at the top of the G35 forum, then search the FSM (factory service manual). I'll bet your answer is in there. Off the top of my head, I don't know that correct answer.

You have the Sedan, meaning...if you were to put the coupe suspension on you would lower .5", 350z suspension will lower you 1". Beyond that you will be out of factory adjustability and will need aftermarket parts (camber kits, upper A arms, etc ) to make adjustments without sacrificing treadwear. Also dependent upon how much you lower of course.

-.5 to -1 degree would be my suggestion based on my last car (I30).

I love seeing these little hondas with -3 or more degrees. I can't wait to see their front tires shred and have them put on the stock rims

You know that the G has negative camber on the back wheels stock, correct? I believe it is -3 stock... Our tires don't shred...

I'm pretty sure it has negative camber on all 4 wheels, but negative 3 degrees is unlikely. I'll go look

Per the 05 coupe FSM

Rear Suspension

Camber

Front

Min:-1.25 degreesMax: -.5 degrees

Min: -1.75 degreesMax: -.75 degrees

I'm not sure if that takes into consideration the Sports Suspension
