G35 Coupe Suspension & Chassis Build

[Kenrik]

For the G35 I suggest going with spring/struts over a full coilover setup for normal street use.

I went with the 350Z S-Techs because they are lower and 15% firmer then stock. If you were to use the G35 S-techs you would be 15% softer then stock which would make for a ride that's softer and bouncy.. Obviously that is not what you want if you're going for performance.

350Z S-Tech Springs.

Ride Height:Front: -0.67"(1.5 for G)Rear: -0.55" (1.2 for G)

Spring Rate:Front: 390 lbs/inRear: 400 lbs/in

Compare to G35 S-Techs.

Front: -1.2"Rear: -0.9"

Spring Rate: Front: 358 lbs/in Rear: 274 lbs/in

Cost = $160 shipped.

For entry level Struts I recommend the TOKICO HP BLUE STRUTS. They are inexpensive, offer more performance then stock & work with lowering springs (stocks will wear out faster when lowered)

Cost = $250 shipped.

Thanks Kenrik, I should be receiving the Stillen adj sway bars soon... The lowering springs and struts will be next, so I'll prob go with your recommendation.

Kenrik,

Hows the tire wear with this setup? Do you have a camber kit?
