plain and simple to lower it yes just springs

but it is highly suggested you get a camber kit as well or else your tires will wear out unevenly

for better handling you mite want a coilover kit

you drive a g35.


a) They aren't cheap.
b) Do it right or don't do it at all is a good motto to have.


However, if all you care about is lowering it then yes, springs will do. But you'd be wrong if you only were worried about lowering it and not all the ill effects that come along with it.

well, since you have the sports tuned suspension so all you need is shocks... your stock springs are fully adjustable.

But stock springs aren't fully adjustable, there is no adjustability in the stock suspension
