Hello guys, I recently purchased a set of 19" rims for my G35 and I really need to lower the car now. I put 19x8.5 front, and 19x10 in the back.My question to you guys is: what suspension brand should I get and what the drop should say when I purchase the suspension. I have about 2" gap in the front and 1 1/2 inch back. Please help

you will need new cambers for the rear most likely, unless you wanna run through tires frequently...

1" is about the max you can go with stock cambers, and thats barely within the limit of alignment

If your on the cheap you could always get a custom alignment. Theres a couple of shops in my area that will align a car with wrenches and a torch. But if you wanna go back and do it right you may have to buy OEM parts you otherwise wouldnt have had to buy. just a thought....

I've got stock sport suspension on my coupe and fronts are feathered on the inside. I can't believe that you dropped yours 1-2in and the tires are fine.

Do you have a fairy god mother too? lol
