{"content":[{"text":"The Infiniti G35 was well received right out of the gates. But performance car enthusiasts \n always want to push the envelope to see what a car can do. Before long, aftermarket parts \n became readily available. Though not directly related to the engine, horsepower, or torque, \n improved handling is just as important. This OEM upgrade also included a viscous limited slip \n differential. Both of these really contributed to improving the ride quality of the G This problem \n can be remedied by tuning your G35 with various aftermarket parts, and even models and \n beyond can be made better thanks to some key aftermarket suspension parts. Some of the most \n popular Infiniti G35 coilovers are:. Most Infiniti G35 drivers will lower the suspension of their car \n before making any other modification. From the factory, the G35 rides way too high for most car \n enthusiasts. Lowering your car will make it sit flatter through corners, so there will be less body \n roll and if setup correctly, more grip. Aftermarket lowering springs are cheap G35 mods when \n compared to coilovers. Even though we love coilovers for how adjustable they are, lowering \n springs still have added benefits, as mentioned above. This is perfect for G35 owners wanting \n to show off their car at events, but who also want a more normal ride height during regular, day \n to day driving. This adjusted, raised height is helpful for driving up steep inclines or over speed \n bumps. Sway bars are designed to mitigate rolling during fast cornering or over bumps. OEM \n G35 sway bars are hollow â€” made of either 5mm or 7mm thick material. They are 34mm in \n diameter for the front, 21mm in the rear. What does this mean? A strut brace or strut bar sits \n between the top of your strut suspension mounts. This is from a pure performance point of view \n though. If you are doing it to improve your handling only, make sure you do other suspension \n mods first. These camber arms allow you to reduce or increase your camber. Reducing your \n camber allows you to save your tires from wearing quickly, while increased camber improves \n handling in the corners and can stops your tires from scrubbing when running aggressive \n wheel fitment. Aftermarket control arms are lighter than OEM ones, and are typically stiffer. \n Being made from stronger materials helps them to reduce unwanted flex. Upgraded rotors and \n pads will get your car braking better than it was when it was new. This was a mistake, as the \n new brakes were not as powerful. Harder working brakes lead to dusty brake pads and faster \n wear , meaning you need to wash your wheels and replace your pads more often. OEM G35 \n brake pads are made of composite, non-metallic material. Ceramic pads are generally best for \n street driving, as they combine durability, grip, and resistance to brake fade. Ceramic brake \n pads are also very quiet and produce less dust than the OEM pads. For more info on this topic, \n read our guide on the best G35 brake pads. Ceramic brake pads are best combined with \n aftermarket slotted or cross-drilled brake rotors, or a combination of both. Aftermarket rotors \n will not improve stopping power, but they will improve the life of the brake pads. During extreme \n driving, with repetitive braking, cross-drilled and slotted rotors became more obviously useful, \n helping with reducing brake fade. For a modest upgrade, best for street driving, we recommend \n the factory-upgraded 4-pot Brembo brakes found on G35 coupes. They are affordable and well \n supported. Alternatively, you can try the Akebono big brake kit, which is a cheap G35 mod \n similar to Brembos, with the same calipers as OEM G35 models. Always upgrade to a more \n powerful brake kit before you upgrade to braided hose. Bad brake fluid can make any brake pad \n or rotor upgrade a waste. Brake fluid absorbs moisture, so over time it will contain water. Water \n boils at a lower temperature than brake fluid, so street driving can also lead to brake fade. \n Bottom line, having a modified brake pad needs a modified brake fluid. Wheel upgrades can \n help with handling and looks. When searching for aftermarket wheels, stick to wheels similar in \n size to these if you want a guarantee that they fit. Wheel diameter, width, offset. Tire width and \n height. Suspension height, camber and how much your guards are rolled and flared. The power \n output of the G35 varies between models and types but is generally in the range of hp and hp \n depending on the year and model of car you own. Torque was between lb-ft and lb-ft over the \n years. G35 sedans from , and coupes from , are 3. These are tuned to various degrees for \n automatic and manual transmissions. These are your two base engines when looking for the \n best G35 coupe and sedan modifications for performance. Modifying it however, can increase \n horsepower and make your car sound a lot meaner. The better it flows and keeps air cool, the \n better performance your car will receive. It will help your car breathe easier, increase top-end \n power, as well as low and mid-range torque, and will make your engine respond better. Most \n exhaust systems look much better than OEM too. This is one of the most popular G35 mods \n among owners as an upgrade really allows you to make your car more unique. Nobody wants \n their G35 to sound exactly the same as the next guy! We wrote a detailed guide on Infiniti G35 \n exhaust systems , but the summary is, our favorite exhaust systems are:. Definitely our pick for \n all-out performance. Aftermarket headers are usually cheaper, give you more top-end power, \n and will make your engine bay look great. Aftermarket G35 headers are available from:. Another \n popular exhaust modification, and one of the best value G35 performance modifications is \n swapping out your catalytic converters for test pipes.
