If considering lowering your car with lowering springs. Such as the mentioned Tein. highly consider aftermarket struts as well.
Why?
Not only does lowering your vehicle without stronger struts wear out the stocks prematurely, but offers a pos ride quality. Literally 'bouncy' around corners...
What does loweing do to the car?
1. The looks. Wheel gap looks ugly. Nuff said.
2. Performance for suspension. Stiffer car, less bodylean/roll. Basically, hug the corners a bit better
3. Aerodynamics. Eh, not too into this one, but they say it decreases wind drag and less air under the car which results in less lift.
4. Wears out the tires a bit faster.
5. Stock the G35 is lower than most generic family sedan/coupe, lowering it more might increases chances of scrapes along curbs, bumps, etc.
Tein adjustables (Damper and coil-over system) is the best way to go... but expect a big hole in the pocket.

I'm not new to lowering cars but I have a new G that's leased for 1 year. That's my problem....1 year. I have Tein CS coilovers on my Lexus. They're too expensive to put them on a leased car. Supposed they don't fit the new G coming out next year. Plus i'd have to pay 3 times for install. Once to put on. Then to take off when returning lease. The again install on next G. So I was thinking of the cheap springs. But I forgot the ride quality might be seriously compromised by changinging just the springs. And I don't want premature tire wear on my PS2's. Looks like I might be staying stock height. It' looks too jacked up but I might have to get used to it.
