Personally, I wouldn't go lower than 1". There are things that will do MAJOR damage if you go much lower. You will also have to put on camber kits front and back or suffer the tire wear.

im in the same boat, i have had 20s for a while and am going to lower it soon. after a bit of research im 95% positive im going with the Tein 350z H-techs.

From what ive read, MOST people dont need camber kits with these, and it offers a ride most similar to the g35 sport suspension. It is a very modest drop though (i believe .6 front .8 back). which is what im looking for so that I dont have to go sideways over eeverything.

go into the suspension forum and do some searches on 350z H-techs, they might be what your looking for. (the g35 h-techs have too soft of spring rates imo)

for that you should get some 350Z S-techs, not H-techs. I'm actually getting those in the mail tomorrow, and my wheels on friday. I would

def recommend the s-techs for the more sexier drop 1.2 front and 1.1 rear I think. But be ready to get at least a camber kit for the rear

Those are some nice wheels. I'm still debating whether to get 350z stechs or htechs. I dont want more than 2k extra tire wear but i do want a nice but not too low drop. And M.I.A do you know how much a rear camber kit is?

^ expect to pay +169 for a rear camber kit (arms & toe bolts). I think gruppe-s has the lowest prices, but you can search the marketplace for deals too.

Well i put the Eibach Sportline on mine but i'm still running OEM 19in. Documentation on the springs says it'll lower a G35 coupe 1.7” - 2.3”.
I plan on getting aftermarket wheels but will still remain with 19in, you can see my drop at the link below.

I have Tanabe NF210 350Z springs which are rated at 1.2drop on Z so add .5 and thats 1.7 all the way around... when I first put them on I was at 1.6in..

I have Sevas S22's in 20's with no issues..... and I am running a 285 rear tire..
