Hey guys. Just wanted to introduce myself. I'm from Toronto, Canada. Currently, I'm driving an 08' G37s. I used to dive a 350Z and I missed it so much that I ordered a 2011 370Z. Put the order in for a black one, with nav, sport package, and persimmon interior back in early March, 2011. I was supposed to get it during the first week of May, but unfortunately, due to the Japan crisis, its not expected to arrive for another 4-6 weeks. I was hoping to have it for the start of summer, but it will have to wait. In the meantime, I've been looking at some parts. I think I'm going to order the Stillen G3 intake with the Stillen CBE. Also, I really like the look of the Nismo S-tune front chin spoiler...propably going to lower it as well. What do you guys think about the Tein lowering springs? All I'm looking for is an inexpensive method of safely lowering the car about 1-2 inches for a sleaker look...not so much for performance.

Welcome to the forum.

What you have listed sounds great. Maybe add spaces to the mix. I'm not crazy about the s-tune lip though. There are so many better options you could go with IMO. I don't know enough about the Tein springs, but I hear the Swift springs are pretty good. Those give you about a 1.5"/1" drop. Any more & you will likely need a camber kit. Coilovers would be better though. There's plenty of info on this site. Just do a search.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

Cmike, thanks for the info. I will be sure to check out the site for more info. I know there are a lot of other front ends but I like the s-tune because first of all its urathane (Canadian winters can be really harsh on fibre glass), and I like how it comes painted and ready to go from the factory.

Welcome aboard and congratulations! I have the Swift Sport Springs as many others do on the forum. The drop was nice but I didn't purchase them for that, rather it was for the performance. The drop is nice and depending on the way your car settles you may or may not need a camber kit. Lots of reading on this subject though so enjoy! Again, welcome!
