SKUNK 2 SRPINGS to low???

wondering if i should get the SKUNK 2 SRPINGS LOWERS APPROMIMATELY 2.0"-2.5" or the

Tein S tech with a spring rate of 358/274 lowers 1.2"front /0.9"rear for my 2004 sports coupe g35

I know Tein have a great reputation and smooth ride but I dont know if people had problems with the skunk2 springs or with a bad camber and ride and too low for a lip kit

2" drop is a lot. You will probably be rubbing really bad and the tires will be tucked. Either way, you should get a camber kit for at least the rear, if not both front and rear.

I'd go with adjustables; sleeve or full coilover. You might regret the 2" drop once you ride on it. However, with adjustables you can always change the drop. Good luck!

With the Hotchkis Z springs I have, it's probably a little over a 1.5" drop all around? I scrape my Y-pipe flex section like a ****. Can't get an alignment at most shops, and can't even make it onto a damn alignment rack or lift without 2x4's

I have mine at 1.6" and 1.4" and it's worthless as a car. I'm switching to a more conservative drop. Cant get it on lifts, can't drive half the parking lots or garages I need to go into for work, and as triple8 mentioned my y pipe is gettin scraped up like no ones business.
