Springs you can probably go with eibachs, tein s techs, etc.... check their site for the drop

For sways i recommend hotchkis have it on my car and i really love it. takes out the body roll! For the strut bar i have gt spec. havent installed it yet coz i got the brackets powdercoated but some members say it helped a bit.

if you find some used gt spec front and rear tie that would help too
dont get the lateral bar coz it might hit the exhaust

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
From what I've found out researching drops on this forum, any drop over 1-1.5" probably needs a camber kit. Anything under that you should be fine as long as you have a good alignment that follows a drop. I know my car is a sedan, but here are before and after pics of the Tein H Techs I put on last weekend. Doesn't look like I will need a camber kit. The coupe might be a little different, it sits lower than the sedan stock. I went from a 4 finger gap to a 2 finger gap, and the car will drop a little more as the springs settle. Looks more dramatic in person than on the pics.

Dranom's right. It only dropped the car ~1". I do have to be careful with steep driveways (go in at an angle), watch curbs and curbstops (I clear most standard height curbs just barely), and take it easy over speedbumps. Other than that drive normally.

Truth and Advice....!

Let's make something very clear about lowering our cars! It doesn't matter which springs you use or if you lower it even 3/4" you're going to need adjustable a-arms/toe adjusters to bring your alignment back to OEM specs. Nissan designed our cars with very little adjust ability in the suspension thus causing the need for the above mentioned parts. You could go without them if you don't mind buying tires yearly which with the cost isn't smart!
Sway bars, I like Stillens sways cause they're adjustable and along with my endlinks my coupe takes high speed turns flat with zero body lean. Upper strut bars, for the price you can't beat Richie's upper strut bar....anywhere!
