Agreed, I'm probably going to end up buying $1k coilovers just so I can drop my rear 1 more inch, spring and shock combo just isn't cutting it, and I don't want to do the springmount mod. It's honestly a completely retarded waste of money, but whatever...I'll justify it to myself somehow.

Spending 1k to drop a car 1" more? Not necessarily a waste. If you have damper controls that is a huge benefit. Plus you have the ability to lower more if you'd like, you can raise if you'd like, etc.

I have 350z H-Techs and the rear drop isn't even with the front, it's been really bugging me because I hate the raked look it gives my car. So basically I'm just buying coilovers to make the drop even. I'm already as low as I can go right now in the front to still be able to make it out my garage. Any lower and my front end would get destroyed.

Ah I see, I'm actually all for looks. If it's going to please you I'd say it's worth it, that was my point before. Can't wait till I get my new coilovers installed today

try not to be a ***** about this.

What's so bad about a $1500 exhaust? That's less than 10% of the cost of the car most likely, and I had no qualms about putting a $250 exhaust on my $2000 Jeep. The big difference here is, the HKS will likely last the lifetime of the car.

Putting a Chinese exhaust on a G35 is like buying granny-panties for your girlfriend (with your girlfriend being Jessica Alba, for the strength of the argument), just don't.
