how to lower your G properly!

Which spring lowers the G coupe by approx. 1 ~ 1.5 inch on front and rear without using any other aftermarket pats such as camper, shock and other suspension parts? i know im a big noob when it comes to suspension. help me out ya'll. thanks in advance.

*oh yeah, i know you can use revised 350Z springs, but nah..its barely noticeable. I want about 1 ~ 1.5 inch drop.

If you want it done "properly", a drop over 1" pretty much requires a camber kit, and eventually better shocks down the road, unless you want premature tire wear....

As for lowering, I decided to go with coilovers instead so I could change to my desired height and dampening at any time. For springs, I think the Tein S-Techs lower over an inch.

no drop requires a camber kit.

but you'll want a camber kit if you want your tires to last (longer).

Sounds like you have a long way to go before you make the right decision. Research is key, and im sure you haven't done much of it.

I'm dropped on espelirs ASD springs. I'm about 1.5 inches dropped haven't installed a camber kit but am now starting to swap my tires. It took 20k miles before the camber smoothed one side of each tire out. now i'll swap em and get some more mileage out of em. Just make sure to get a proper alignment after dropping it.
