Lowering a 2002?

[1PNYBOY]

First off, i'm new here, please don't bash me. I just bought a 2002 G20 with the sport package. I've installed a brushed aluminum dash kit and Magnaflow muffler. I want to lower it, the car needs it bad. I'm looking for a set of progressive rate springs to lower it about 1"-1.5". I heard the Eibach prokits are to harsh. Did hear that that H&R springs where a nice ride, but when I go to their website, thay don't even have a listing for Infiniti. Any suggestions would be appreciated. This seems like a good forum. By the way if it matters I work for Infiniti, if anybody needs any warranty questions answered or technical questions.

Welcome, and dont be scared of getting bashed here! we're a tight knit group and dont bash anyone!


If you want to lower your car and get decent riding, get the Eibachs. The H&R were offered for the Nissan Primera (G20's twin in other countries), but the H&R are a very harsh ride!!

Also stay away from Intrax springs with stock shocks.... PROBLEMS!!


If you want the best ride possible... get the Tein type NA kit. its $1100 and includes lower springs and struts designed specifically to work with each other. It is a very smooth (close to stock) ride on the soft settings (the struts are 16 way adjustable in stiffness).


By getting only lower springs with your stock struts, you will eventually blow out the struts... ie.. headaches!!

If you get the Tein, you wont be sorry.

[email protected] can get them for you. not sure if they're listed on their website www.digitalracer.com

good luck.. and dont be afraid to ask questions here! :toothless

Thanks guys!!! Great forum

nah, i aint no guru but if you got quetsions, ask away and many of us will help you out.
as for the TEINs, just like what b00gie said, they are pretty much the suspension part to get for street use...near damn perfection! and i do have them listed in my website hehe.

thanks guys for recommending me to others :flash:

I have H&R currently on stock shock and they are a damn rough ride but I kinda like it....shocks are starting to go now so need to upgrade them...

Luke, what was the name of those Swedish coilovers? B&H (B&G?)/ Why not recommend those? And is there an aplication for P10? (Sweden is pretty close to Estonia).

[G22DET]

well, just like i dont recommend my super duper JIC coilovers (i wnat to be the only one that has it...haha JK) most coilovers do not have a comfortable ride. Real coilovers are designed for track use and it's very uncomfy (unless you are like me and like the ride VERY stiff) on the road.
the TEINs on the other hand, is not a coilover, but springs and shocks set up. the shocks have 3 slots to adjust the height and also 16way adjustable dampening valves to stiffen/ease up the ride quality. Since I had the TEINs on for a while, like many others, they come very highly recommended for the street and daily driving. However, if you are like me and tackles autocross or road race events, i would HIGHLY recommend the JIC-Magic coilovers, you can pick you own spring rate (i am using 10kg/8kg), piston and valves.

[b-b00gie]

One reason that no body has recommended the B&G is because no one here owns them yet...


We are waiting for Dprotech to install his in his P11. Once they are in, he and Jason (G20.net) can compare each others cars first hand...

OK, fair enough

Still, could someone give me an URL of B&G?

thaa, do you have any information about them?

Hey guys, I am new to the forum. Been reading lots of postings to keep me aloft. One thing I do not pick up from the readings: Of all the great mods suggested, who would normally perform the works for these? I am thinking of lowering my 02 G20 equiping the TIEN Type NA Suspension, but who would do the work? Can I do it myself with proper instructions? 1PNYBOY, perhaps you can help answer some of my warranty questions.

Many thanks.......

P.S. I am annoyed by constant scratches to my car, is there an alarm system that notifies me when my car is in contact with others? Not necessary motion dectector. Luke, maybe you can help? Here is a pic of my baby....

Nice choice in color. Limited edition Maui Blue, only made it for a month. As for your warranty, should be okay, unless the people at your local dealer are assholes. Some are, but most aren't.

Very nice colour!

Yes, you can do most of the work yourself, but better find some other enthusiast in your area to guide you through you first steps. And, as most of guys will tell you, the firs mod should really be a good FSM.

Good luck

installation on suspension parts is quite ez...basically just nuts and bolts..the front ones require some muscle and patience but the rear is VERY ez.
as for scratches...do what i do, park in a very isolate place with about 20 feet away from cars from all direction! hehe
