Would ANYONE be interested in coming to my house in Eden Prairie this saturday and helping change the suspension on that blk06x guys 06 G35x??? I dont think we have to compress springs and stuff because he bought some that already came with z struts so all we gotta do is pull the old ones out and put the new ones in.

Should be easy, but its nice having a helping hand that has done the same swap before lol.

Hope on those! See if you can talk him down a bit though. Those wheels would look awesome on your DB Z.

Those are beautiful wheels.

However, for a couple hundred more, you can buy some Volk GTS Phantoms.

Janik, if I lived nearby I'd be happy to come over and help.

You wouldn't need a spring compressor with my muscles present.

But seriously, im debating. i might lower my car lower on an eibach pro kit, which would leave it sitting like this.


Vs what im sitting at now on Z springs up front and coupe springs in the back.

Now you are just being a little girl. My brothers GTR and my lowerd Z can make it up our moms driveway when we visit and that is the steepest driveway ive ever seen. So if the reason you dont want the coilovers is because you have to much sand in you womans area than just say so. But all you will get is a from me

Thats my driveway. And that does even show the lip at the bottom that the water runs threw to the bottom of the street.
