Springs w/OEM 19's - g35 coupe

So i have an 04 g35 coupe and im doing a few things to change her up a tad without going overboard as this is my DD & not my weekend toy.

Im looking to lower it a tad since I just purchased some oem 19" rays that im going to have powdercoated soon. I was wondering if anyone else is running a standard spring replacement on the factory 19"s to check out the ride height.

I know coil overs would be the way to go but i dont need the ability to adjust them and like I said, my other car build is my weekend toy so i wont be spending 3k on suspension like the weekend warrior.

Ive seen springs w/drops from 1" to 1.7" but wanted to see if there are any pics of said springs installed w/oem rims?

Thanks guys, appreciate the info very much!

350z sport lines will give you a hella drop... 2.5-3 inches or something like that. The 350z pro kit gives a perfect all around drop IMO... these are stock 18's but I'm sure the 19's look similar.

Hmm I always thought the sport lines gave higher drops, especially the Z springs

Eventually i will but for now i just want to do a basic spring upgrade, ive got a 600whp 2.0L eating a hole in my pocket at the moment, once the weekend warrior is done the G will get some more attention. Do you think those springs would still be at that ride height on factory struts?

Also part number for yours were Part Number: 4.6463 right?

Claims 1.2IN for 350z but i know its lower for a G35 coupe. Gorgeous g35 you have there by the way, absolutely gorgeous!

You get .5 more drop getting the Z version..On stock struts/shocks with those springs your drop will be around 2inches...
