I have to thank my friend Mark for all this because I would have never been able to get the deal and the help/knowledge anywhere else. Never would have thought I'd drop the Z this low but I just installed Tokico D-Spec full suspension...and I LOVE IT! The drop is 1" front and rear and it's absolutely heavenly to drive her now. It's beautiful to the point where it's like falling in love with the Z all over again like when I first drove her.
The D-Spec setup has 16 ways adjustable Isettings and I set mine at 4 turns from full hard front and rear. However, I'm thinking of adjusting the front even stiffer (3 turns). As of now I love it and the ride is like driving on rails. I need rear camber kit for the rear and after that I'm thinking about getting Stillen sway bars from Mark as well. I'll have some pics posted soon....kinda tired right now but getting rid of the tire feathering, the bouncy 03 suspension, and the huge wheel gap was well worth it!

I told you not to settle for anything less than an inch. Get the Eibach camber kit I mentioned earlier and you'll be set. Rosscoe up in Mt. Vernon can align your car very well to for a pretty good price.

Eibach kit is weak. Get battleversion. I have the same setup and its infinate settings between max hard and max stiff. I run it at 2 from full stiff front, 3 in the rear. No bounce, no highway bumps and good critical dampening.

The drop definitely was worth it. Some wooden planks got me up my driveway just fine. Now I just need to get a visual of all the "no-no" parking lots/driveways/entrances in the area. I am pretty sure I won't make into the Oldeggard parking garage lol.

Im pretty sure the battle version arms dont affect toe, atleast from what Ive collected. It makes it possible to adjust camber w/o altering toe. If im wrong, im a douchebag and i remove my statement! lol.

If you can get a shop to align the car with you in it for $60, that's a great deal. Most shops don't like aligning with you in the car for insurance reasons, but it does make a small difference in the weight distribution so I'd definetly do that.

anyone know how much lower this would lower the g35 coupe?
I'm asking about the one made for the 350z (DSK512), looks like it has better spring rates than the ones for the g35

I have a pic..
Riding on 275/40/18 rear, 245/40/18 front. Im going to switch to 275/35/18 front, 275/40/18 rear next time. Wider is better :-D The springs actually lowre the rear quite a bit. 1.5'' i'd say. It was dramatic..made the car look 5x better.
