Yes, they will lower your car about an inch. Why would you want to just lower the front?

Coupe springs will drop about half inch. Might look better than an inch. I have some for sale. both selling the fronts and rear from an 06 coupe sport suspension for $70 shipped. Car only had 7000 miles when taken off.

oh ok i wasnt paying attention that you said coupe.

so g35 coupe drops a sedan half inch and a 350z drops a sedan 1 inch?

i think imma go with the 350z springs cuz id like to go the full inch if not more. and i will have the rear springs also so if it looks goofy with the front dropped i will put the rears in also

Not sure how lowering just the front by an inch would look on a Sedan.

Just don't go too low

Im running the sport 18s with 235/45/18 Potenzas. That black plastic piece under the front bumper is about 6 inches off the ground, not sure about the rear I'd have to check.
