Never posted before.But here it go's.My 09' g37S with oem front lip and seiboncarbon sides/rear lip.I had it all painted oem black.Now i will look into some new wheels.

 

Nice post, pics look great. I'm liking those coupe wheels on your G, if you want to get rid of them be sure to PM member ashecnc he's been wanting those. Do you have closeups of the rear lip?
BTW, welcome to the site, your Gs off to a great start!

 

Looking great and welcome to the site! Agreed with blnewt, the wheels look great!

 

Thanks man. I will post close up picks of the rear lip when I get home later.

 

Just Beautiful .... I would look into lowering it to close up that wheel gap a tad bit

 

Looks very good! What material is the rear lip made of (unless you painted over the cf?)and where did you order it from? Also are you running spacers for the alloys?

 

Here are close up picks.

 

No spacers. Blot right on and no problems. It's made of CF and I had it painted. I did not want a cf ring around the bottom of my car(just personal taste).also the front lip is not CF.It's FG oem lip. I got the front lip from infiniti dealership and sides/rear from seiboncarbon.com.If you call talk to julio. He is a cool guy and he helped me out alot. Good customer service.

 

I am new too the lowering thing.But i have bin looking into it.Can I just put lowering springs like eibach pro kit on a stock suspension without screwing up the stock suspension?

 

I like the look, I think w/ an aftermarket exhaust it would look especially nice back there, looks like the rear lip has room for bigger tips.

As far as lowering, you will be screwing w/ the stock suspension whenever you change springs, putting more stress on the stock struts and altering your camber & toe settings. With a milder drop such as Eibachs you may not need aftermarket camber arms & toe bolt kits, but each vehicle seems to have different requirements, some guys can get back to oem specs without arms/bolts others need to get them. My drop is a bit lower so I had to have them. It's a good idea to get them anyway if it's in your budget since you'll have a much wider range of adjustment than you would going without. The kits aren't cheap though, a bit over $500 for the F&R set plus the springs
$200-275, and the alignment $100-125. Now all this assumes you DIY, if you have to pay for all the installations it's another $300-500.

 

What this guy said ^^^^ but it's all well worth it
Personally I would do a drop before new rims

 

Thanks a lot blnewt. I appreciate your very thorough post. I see I still have a lot to learn. And now I know the approximate cost to do a drop properly. Now I have to figure out which upgrade to do next. Thanks to everybody for all the kind words.

 

You already seem to be willing to invest decent coin into your G so if you REALLY want to lower it properly you may want to look into coilovers, these are the best way to lower a G, it will cost more sure, but you'll have shock absorbers built into the coils that are specifiaclly designed for a lowered vehicle and most are adjustable, so you can change the amount of drop &/or the firmness of the ride, plus they look really nice too. You may be able to pick up a used set on the marketplace here or G35driver.com for much less than new. New coilovers typically start around $1200. Just food for thought (and you'll still need the camber kits w/ them too )

 

I agree on 95% of this post BUT No No on used suspension. that's like buying used under wear at the thrift store lol you never really know what kind of wear and tear has been out on them. If any thing stay stock and save up til u have the money to buy new coil overs

 

Good point, this would be a case where you should know the seller and have a chance to drive the vehicle w/ the suspension as someone could be trying to unload their problems. There are some reputable members here that I doubt would screw-over another member but surely a "buyer-beware" item.
