Which springs will give me a good drop?

hi guys,

im new to the forum but ive had the G for about half a year. i'm looking for a drop for the G, and im looking to cop some springs. I was just wondering which ones you guys would recommend. I'm looking for a pretty decent drop, at least over an inch. I've found that the tanabe DF210 would give me that drop i want, what do u guys think? Anything else that you guys would recommend? I'm assuming i need rear spacers, will i need front spacers also? tia.

S-techs

I went with G35 S-techs. Nice compromise between drop and ride quality. I scrape pleanty of stuff....can't imagine going lower.

I have a four year old who rides in the back and is VERY critical of ride smoothness (Female of course). No complaints after 8 months.

Bought for $210 on Ebay.

it actually rides better then the coupe sport suspension. Its smoother and less bumpy I think its cause the front are progressive and the rear spring rate is slightly softer. The front is dropped like 1.2" and the rear is about 1.6". I guessimated I did the rear spring mod and took 1/2" off that.
