Would the springs sag more because of weight or something?

Thankfully you have more spring rate then typical G35 aftermaket drop springs, shorter shocks vs oem G35 shocks and firmer shock valving vs your oem sedan shocks. Keep in mind that even with those things in play, you still don't have a lot of shock piston stroke on bump.

Dont mind the last post i did not see the latest response but let me make sure I get what your trying to tell me. It will drop my car a full two inches but because the shocks and springs are stiffer than stock I won't have alot of give or something? just kinds lost me at the end and if i did drop it a full two inches would i be gambling with speedbumps and so on?

Let me try to clarify. If you install the Eibachs, you'll have a 2 inch drop on your sedan, but the pistons won't have much stroke (the distance they can move in and out) before bottoming out.

The 350Z shocks will work, but their life will be shortened.

you will definitely need front and rear camber kits unless you don't mind wearing out tires really fast.

Okay thanks for the help I just wanted to be sure to know exactly what you were trying to tell me. I think I am just going to wait for a set of all oem springs/shocks 2" won't work with the roads around here.
