Help! I have a coil Spring question

I have a 2006 G35 sedan sport class. The origional owner put lowering springs that are WAY TOO LOW. I cant go over the tinyest speed bump at .1 mph without scrapping.

Some guy is selling his origional 2006 G35 coupe springs on Craiglist. Will those fit my car? And what if any affect will they have? Lower, higher, softer ride, harder ride?

Coupe springs will lower it. And there is no way he put springs on that aren't coils or cut that are too low to get over speed bumps, they don't make springs that drop that low. Your shocks would die extremely fast

Coupe springs will lower a sedan .5" over stock....well above scraping over speed humps.

Thanks for the reponces. I can deal with a half inch no problem. I'm too rough on the car to have it lowered as much as it is.
Will it affect the ride at all to switch to the coupes springs?

It depends on what springs you currently have. The springs you have now might have a higher spring rate than OEM. If thats the case then you will have a softer ride with OEM. Or it could be the other way around-----they may be softer then OEM.
