Non- lowering my G35

Hey guys, im new on this forum and also new to my G35.
Bought my ride around a month or so ago and as it was 2nd hand, the previous driver has already gotten it lowered by 2" already, with what? i dont know if it was just springs or with coil-overs. Here where i live, calgary, alberta, has a **** load of manholes and all these ups and downs and i've had enough of getting the bottom of my ride scratched and all. i was wonder where i can get it non-lowered to factory setting or at least a bit higher than what it is. any help from anyone would be appreciated especially if someone from this forum was to live in calgary and some advice on which garage is better or w/e
ths alot guys,,

If there coils then you will be able to adjust them to any height you want. If just springs than your going to have to get factory springs. If you end of having to get factory springs you can probley get them a lot cheaper in the marketplace. But either way keep it lowered, it looks like sex!

I'm pretty sure there is another G35 owner in your area that would trade thier set of factory springs for your lowering springs.

lol wait, you're saying you don't have a jack and tire iron? The things that come with the car? In the trunk? lol

Open the trunk, get these things out, jack the car up and remove the wheel. If you're unsure what you're looking at, take a picture and post it up on here.
