Help me pick out springs for replacement.

Right now my G is about 2" drop. It's low. Too low. I'm scraping on my new custom piping on some slow incline/declines. I'm looking to go to about .5" lower than stock (+1.5" higher than now). I also want a performance oriented spring/rate. Struts are stock btw. Good recommendations?

BTW: I haven't touched the suspension since I bought a year ago. Previous owner was not a car guy. He had 20" rims and just said he "lowered it". No idea whats in their really.

I'm not sure if you will find any aftermarket springs that will only drop it .5 lower than stock. You could try the H&R Sport Springs which will drop your G35 coupe down 1.1 inches in the front and 1.0 in the rear. I think it's that's pretty conservative.

I'm looking for a spring set that will only drop a little from stock, and have slightly better handling characteristics....05 6mt

^Thanks. That's [probably the same reply I wouldve given. I already read through this. I'm asking from personal experience though, not just spec. I want the drop of the H-techs with a firmer ride though :/

How low would you estimate I am currently? Keep in mind 19" Rays with f:245/35/19 & r:255/35/19

350z s-techs are some good springs, not too low and somewhat stiff, had them before.

They're dirty and dark. Possibly green? Which could mean anything.
