Lowering G with HP Blues question

Hey guys,

I currently have Tokico HP Blues on my G.
I wanted to lower my car but I understand that the HP Blues are probably the cheapest I can go for okay shocks after oem.
If I am going to lower my G, will the HP Blues be okay or will I need better shocks depending on how much I lower it.
I was thinking of putting on the Eibach pro kit springs which is about 1.1”/1” drop. I really want to put on the Eibach SPORTLINE which will drop the car 1.6'' all around but not sure how the shocks will hold.

Any suggestions? I'm pretty new to suspension!

Thanks

The HPs should be fine with the pro kit.
I'm running HPs with Z s-techs and I find it's a nice combo.
How many miles are on the HPs?

The HP's have about 4K miles. Still very new!
I'm still unsure of which springs to get.
Got any pics of your G with the Z s-techs? How was the drop?

Oh yeah that's nothing, you'll be good for a long while.
The drop was great, I did the rear spring mount mod too so the rear is slightly lower than usual.
The front has a little more wheel gap than the rear but I think that will even out once I swapped the 285s out for 275s
LOL, I think this is the 3rd time today I've hoared out pics of my car.

You got any other suspension work with the z s-techs like sways or camber kit?

I have a 2007 Infinity G35 "S" Sedan w/ 6MT. I ordered the Eibach Pro Kit and I have been told that the only shock available are the KYB's and HP's. Autoanything has told me that I would be fine with the stock springs. What do you think? & How's the ride with your HP's & Eibachs ??
