Default Lowering Question

sup guys. I have a 35c but I'm guessing it's the same suspension as the bad cuz 350z. sorry I got lots of questions on this


How much did you drop it and what springs did you use?

Did you have to get a camber kit and re-allignment?


I think anything under a 1.5 inch drop won't affect the camber or cause uneven tire wear, right?

Good questions...

I can't answer from personal experience, but a few people have complained of uneven front tire wear with the stock suspension (no drop). Sport Compact Car tested a Z and lowered it a bit and found significant changes in the rear. Check their website for more details www.sportcompactcarweb.com

Search for their Z article and see if it can provide any insight.

I personally have had no problems with tire wear, although I've been doing some AutoXing which seems to wear the outside of the fronts pretty well, whereas the people who have seen tire wear have seen it on the inside. Maybe they drive too straight, hehe.

Good luck!

Ya I heard the g35c has softer suspension. Talking about aftermarket parts though, can I use 350z parts? The suspension parts should match up directly and bolt right in?
