I have a 2004 g coupe sport just purchased 20 inch axis matrix for dirt cheap do not have any rear tires don't know weather to go with a 30 or 35 series tire in the rear, but before I throw them on, I was planing on dropping it on some springs any suggestions ? love to see some pics to get a visual idea.

Well see im kind of in the same boat as you are, I just bought 20" Pentas, I'm going to go for something not so crazy for the tires on them, 275R30-20 on the back and 245R30-20 on the front, Im gonna go for Falken F452s, runs me for about 1625$CAN installed on the car. And as far as the drop goes the only drop I would possibly put on stock shocks and still be able to get the car aligned would be Tein H-Tech springs, you probably would not even notice the drop that they would give you its like Half an Inch on the back and maybe .65 of an inch in the front, If you wanna drop your car like on those pictures its going to cost you a few gs, cuz you will probably require a front and rear camber kit if you go lower than 3/4 of an inch + a coilover kit wich is Shocks + Struts + Springs. I quoted all the parts for my suspension here it goes:
SPC Rear Camber Kit: 150$US
Cusco Upper A-Arm (Front-Affordable compared to 900$US Stillen, Same thing just machined by a more unknown brand): 385$US From IntensePower
Coilover: This is where its pretty much a personnal choice, I mean the only thing that is better from a coilover kit to another is the Adjustability of the Height and the Dampening setting wich is the rebound of your shock and the most important part the valving system, I would personnaly go for a Mid-range kit if I were you unless you really wanna pay big dollar and go the performance route, I personnaly cherish Tanabe over Tein because the valving is better and you can still adjust it pretty good, price is affordable too, I would go with the Pro Five series which is mid-range priced: Tanabe Sustec ProFive Coilover - 1350$US picked up from IntensePower.com
For around 2000$US you could have all the suspension parts and pretty much install it yourself. As far as the tire goes the F452 are nice looking tires and they run for a bit cheaper than Proxes T1Rs will.
