Did a search several times but didn't find anything for G35
I was planning on buying some suspension parts. In particular the Stillen sway bars and a set of coilovers. Wasn't sure what set to go with. My 04 coupe is a daily driver and I just wanted to beef up the suspension a little but didn't want to loose ride comfort. The set I was thinking of buying was Tein Basic for the price. EverthingG35.com had a package deal with both the coilovers and sway bars. I was looking at the HKS LS because the product description says they are for luxury sports cars, but they aren't cheap. This is on factory rims by the way.
Does anyone have these on their G and if so how do you like them? Also am I going to need a camber arm kit?

Re: Need opinions on coilovers (Mur21)
if you want to save a few $$ the tein basics are pretty good.
HKS are great but are expensive.
A lot of people opt to just swap to the 350z suspension, but i'd just go with the Tein Basics, the Tein Flex with EDFC, then the HKS...that would be my options if i was willing to spend the money. Its $800, $1500, $2200 respectively for those (on avg). Just depends what you want and what you are willing to spend.
As for the camber kits... most people will do at least the rear when dropping more than 1". It cant hurt to do that. Doing the front is more expensive so it is done less. Rotating tires will help keep tire wear even though so most people just do the rear. Up to 1" you don't really have to. You can keep it very close to spec.

Re: Need opinions on coilovers (tollboothwilley)
Thanks for the reply. I'm not completely sure about the basic coilovers so I'm just going to wait on that. I am definitely getting a set of stillen sway bars after my exhaust and strut tower bar get here.
How do you like the 350 suspension setup? Did you notice any difference? I thought it would be stupid to spend money on an oem suspension setup. Then i realized that i just want to build a more fun daily driver so there is no need to spend a fortune on parts that aren't going to get used in the manor they're intended for.
