and aftermarket toe bolts do nothing unless you actually grind out the holes and make them wider so they can be adjusted. they got my last Z back into stock specs just by puttin on the toe bolts

i read that somehwere, u have to drill some holes w/ a dremel or some bs for the toe bolts in the DIY on it, and i figured they were pretty important from reading in that "aggressive and stretched" thread

I want to get springs that i can just put on and not have to upgrade the entire suspension. I dont have the funds for that right now. I dont plan on racing my car or anything, just want it for looks. So think the H-techs for the Z is the best route? also i was reading that Hotchkis Z springs was pretty good for the G, without having to upgrade the entire suspension.
Josh how much to roll fenders?
You don't have to upgrade shocks now, but you will over the feature. You can get springs now and just get it lowered a tad bit. Why do you keep looking for z application springs when they have springs for g35 applications? It depends how low you drop, and jumping on the alignment machine to see if you can get back in spec before you know you'll need a camber kit or not. Most likely anything over 1"+ will need a camber/toe kit. Some cars can get away without one and get lucky. Mines was the Tanabe NF210 springs 1.2" front/rear , front is borderline off spec for camber, toe got straighten to 0. Rear was borderline green, I end up getting rear camber kit/toe kit to get it perfect to where I want it.

Depends on the offset as well whether or not you'll need to roll your fenders. You could have some crazy -5 offset, or some high +30 offset. Look inside your wheel and you'll see it stamped on there.

Toe bolt you do have to drill with a dremel..can't just stick a bolt in there and it'll change your toe.

Shows here how to install one.

im just getting the z application springs because everyone on g35 driver said it is better, because the spring rates are higher resulting in a stiffer spring. almost everyone on the site buys z springs. and thanks i didnt know they printed it on the wheel.

i got under my car and tried looking for the offset and couldnt see it. there was a bunch of numbers. there was a box that said 00 and a box beside it that said 06., one spoke said max pressure, another had the size.
is it supposed to say offset then a number? or what am i looking for?

its kinda dark and the inside of the rim was pretty dirty. and all i had was this pos flashlight from work. I didnt notice anything like that. there was so many numbers and **** on it. only thing that might be it was this thing that said..

ET[22] think that was it? it didnt have a + sign. and it looked exactly like that. I might have to clean the inside and look at it in the daylight. i couldnt really fit under there.

I believe that could possibly be it. probably better to take the whole wheel off to look, makes it easier anyways. Take a picture and show if you're not sure.
