Who's f50 is this?

I'm in the market to buy some suspension for my car. I saw this car and it said on his for sale post that it was on springs! What springs are those?

yeah I would if it's just springs its definitely cut. I wouldn't do that if I were you. Just get a good set of coilovers.

That's what i was thinking b.c the ones i saw "swift" only lower 1"in and thats way more than that.

Also I been looking for coilovers but I have only found k-sport with hub assembly/ Any other recommendations?

I've had swift on my F50 and the rear sags more than the front. Some people only change the front to make it look even and leave the rear stock. It is going to be hard to find coilovers for a F50. Look into Y34 coilovers because there is a chance it can be used on the F50. I can't be for sure.

From what I understand is the front is y33 and the rear is y34 on an f50.

So you are telling me that the previous generation q45 97-01 front coilovers fit the front of my 02 q45 and that the 350z rear coils fit the rear of my 02 q45?

Not difficult. Well, maybe for some it is. Any thing 350z in back or g35 will work. If you understand the Manufacture you can figure anything out. Helps to be into 240s when it comes to the Infiniti vip side.

Can use a s13 coilover in rear with a z32 conversion Like you can get from stance/megan etc. Stance makes custom welded tubes if you want to source your own thread inserts, and jic, cusco, megan, bc racing make top hats. Universal bags work too, and so do cups.

Mine is on some secret squirrel stuff. But stance made a lot of things possible for my car. I am constantly changing suspension stuff to try and figure out my own line for this model. So sorry not a whole lot of it posted on my thread. I do however mention my "ideas" here and there just no photo of it for now.

How does changing the suspension either to swift or coilovers from Y33, 350/g37 suspension parts work with the electornic suspension modes? Is there a way to make those modes more aggressive or add more settings?

the electronic suspension modes are with the factory shocks only so if you change out the springs, it will still work the same. if you switch to coilovers then you will not longer have the option.

i notice some stiffining, but i figure they may be a way to tweat it/make it more agressive depending on the technology used..isnt it usually like metallic bits in the oil that stiffen up when current is run to the magnets? I dunno, talking out of my A$$
