05 G35 Coupe
^ I would take the time to research all the coils you are interested in and then make a decision based on your needs. Just use the search function on this site and enter the coilovers that interest you. Also, there is a sticky at the top of the suspension page that outlines coilover specifications, etc.
IMO I think BC's are perfect for someone like myself who simply wanted to be able to control the amount of drop and am realistically only going to use my car on public roads, occasionally spirited, but likely never see any track time. For my needs a $1.5-2k coilover setup was just overkill and for the around $1k I paid my BCs, they've been a worthwhile upgrade. They ride nice, and I'm never going to slam my ride, so they've got more than enough drop if you're only looking to get 1.5" lower all the way around.

So I've decided to go with springs over coilovers...for the money and for the fact that I don't want such an extreme drop, I can't condone the extra hundreds of dollars for such a minute drop...
My next question is do I want to replace my stock shocks, or should I just keep the ones on the car? The car has 84,000 miles on it, and if I do replace the shocks, I don't want to downgrade from what's currently on there...what do you think?
Here's the list of springs that seem to be my list to choose from: http://www.autocarparts.com/c_Infini...nsion_Springs/
I think the B+G springs look to be my best bet, but if I could see a picture of a g35 with a 1.4 drop, that'd be awesome to be able to compare. If there's a clearcut winner on that page as far as which spring to go with, let me know.
Besides that, all I've gotta do is decide on the shocks...so what do you guys think?
thanks!

it is your choice, but keep in mind, coils aren't just to get a drop. They are far superior in handling, stability, and loading compared to springs. Springs will likely feel bumpy or unsettled because the shocks aren't valved to match. IMO springs are a shortcut that will cost more in the long run after you realize you should have purchased coils in the first place.
personally, I've never been a fan of megan products. On a side note, also keep in mind if you lower, you will likely need to install camber kits (def the rear; fronts depending how low you go), unless you don't mind wearing out tires prematurely.
