The lower you go, you likely want less suspension travel, and therefore you'll need higher pressure to achieve that.

 

My Airlift ride height is 100 psi up front, 60 in the rear. If I lowered the airlift strut anymore, I would destroy my motordyne muffler when I air out.

 

It sounds like you are on the right track. I would raise the air pressure up until you get the feel, ride quality and stability you want then use the strut/shock body adjustments to lower it to the normal ride height you want.


The Air Lift ride control that I'm running has 5 presets. I use the second from highest as my "normal" setting (about 1 - 2 finger gap between the tire and fender) with the air pressures show in the below pic. For the middle setting this is my "stance" setting which basically has the tires flush with the fender wells. I can still drive around town in this setting but have to be careful over parking lot transitions and speed bumps. For car shows I use the second from the lowest setting, which tucks the tires in the fenders a bit, but isn't fully dropped. for the lowest setting the car is basically fully dropped and sitting on the bump-stops (haven't really used this setting at all). I believe the highest setting is currently set at 125-130 psi front and 95 psi rear (near the max rated pressures for each)... this is basically what I call "4x4" or "wife" mode.





This is about the air settings I have for my "show mode" setting on my Air Lift set-up. With this air pressure my tires are just a bit tucked inside the fenders... It looks really good in this setting but isn't very practical for everyday driving.

 

Also, here's a picture of the car with the above settings (115 psi (f) / 84 psi (r)).

 

yeah thats a good hight i ride a little lower but i only drive about 5 miles a day and i like the cambered look i was just courious on air pressure my non g friends said they run theres 60/80 and it just got me courious on what everyone else was doing ill post a pic after i get her cleaned up this weekend.... thanks for the info guys

 

How does the air ride affect the handling? I would think it wouldn't corner as well but I dunno.

 

its great actually, once you get the setting right, the technology has come a long way they track and drift bagged cars now

 

I finally remembered to take some pix of my G with the 19” G35 Rays wheels that I recently put on about a week ago. Had them refinished in a bright silver finish. Picked up a set of center caps, black lug nuts and new TPMS’s - wrapped by 245/40/19 Conti’s DWS06.

Car isn’t lowered, I’ve been going back and forth whether or not to install my Swift springs…I’ve had all my other cars lowered but not this car so I’m just enjoying the ride.







before install

 

Those look really nice. What width are the wheels and what year coupe did they come on?

 

^Thank you 4DRZ! I've always liked the G35 Rays (before I bought my prior M35 I was thinking of getting a G35 sport)...Anyway, the wheels came off of an '04 G35. The guy who sold them to me had them stored in his garage for quite awhile since he was running 20"s.

Here are the specs on the wheels:
Front
Size: 19x8.0
Offset: +30mm
Weight: 19 lbs

Rear
Size: 19x8.5
Offset: +33mm
Weight: 21 lbs

How were those G35 19s redone, paint or powder coat? wondering how you achieved that finish, did you ask for a semi-gloss paint or clear coat? Thanks

 

Looks great on that white G, those old 19 Rays are a very quality wheel. nice job on the refinish too!

^thanks guys, I appreciate it...I wanted to keep a 'clean' look that compliments the moonlight white. I'm also going to keep the squared tire size for awhile (I might go wider in the rear, later)

I decided to get the wheels refinished with paint and couple coats of clear. I had a wider selection of color choices and wanted to get as close as possible to the OEM color that the Rays came in. I ended up calling my buddy who works for Infiniti service and I was able to drop off my wheels at the dealer and get them done at a great price.

I've gone the powdercoating route on other wheels so this was an easy choice - I can easily do any future touch ups via paint vs powdercoat. Also, the Rays will be used only for summer months while the stock 17"s will be used from October to March months.

 

Looks sweet. You should definitely install the swift springs, they are great. You won't regret it
