Hi,

I'm new to this forum and need some suggestion. Currently own 04 g35 coupe black and planing to lower it. Any suggestion of which brand name I should use. Oh prefer adjustable one.

I agree on the Tein. Spend the extra cash and get the coilovers with the pillowball mounts. Then you can easily adjust camber and caster. It will cost you just as much buying the camber kits for front and rear, and the less expensive set of coilovers.

Tein's with the EDFC. You can control the height from the inside of the car if you go with the EDFC.

EDFC controls the damping, not the height. EDFC = Electronic Damping Force Controller

If you don't have TOO much money then I would also suggest the Tein S Tech Springs along with the Tokico D Specs. Unfortunately on my 2003 G35 sedan I can't run the adjustment extensions into the trunk but u might be able to use them on the coupe. If you don't know what the extensions are you can find them at Stillen.com when you look for the Tokico struts. For you other guys with sedans like me you can have holes drilled above the rear struts which will lead the extensions into the area behind the rear seats so they will be hidden but I will have to look for the link to those directions. Good luck

The G35 does not use struts. As such no upper mounting plate for the G will ever be able to adjust the camber or caster. It requires adjustable arms.

I guess I got my terminology wrong. I thought struts were the same as shocks. Well I use the Tokico D-Spec shocks and they are awesome. I also only have them set at the middle of the hardness. My wheels are Motegi DP10's. They actually look a lot better in person too. Especially right after they are cleaned up
