I did search for this but couldn't seem to find anything on a G35X. I'm looking to drop it an inch to an inch and a half. Can / should you do this with an X? I don't want to mess up the all wheel drive system. If you can do this are there any recommendations for kits to do this with so the camber doesn't get messed up and eat my tires away?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

There are several different springs you can use. You don't have any options as far as coilovers/struts right now, so all you can swap is springs.

H&R are really nice, probably drop 1.5" or so all around.

I used SPC camber kits on my car to get the camber/toe back into spec.

Thank you. Any clearance issues with the drop?

The X is actually comes from the factory 1" taller than the sport version. I a debating to do it also. Only consern I have is the winter driving. I am plowing the snow like this already. I can imagine sitting 1.5-2 inch lower.

issues, well, anytime you lower your vehicle you have to pay attention to tire wear as well as scraping over places you normally don't
