Pic Request: Lowered on OEM 19" rims

I am looking to lower my 05 6MT and was wondering if anybody had any before and after pics of various springs on the OEM 19" wheels.

When I tried searching, I rarely found any G's on OEM 19's and when I did, I didn't know which springs they were on.

Thanks in advance!

Geebus, if I dropped my car that much, my bumper'd have fallen off by now from speedbumps...

Speed bumps and ramps must be a real issue with those drops huh?
Looks really good though.

Speed bumps are really the only annoyances, everything else is manageable.

When posting before and after pics, its best if you keep the hieght and location of camera the same for both pics, this way its easier to see mods like a drop or body kit measurements. The first image looks great, but the second you kept the camera higher up in the air, which makes it harder to see the actual drop...

Just a suggestion for future images....

Nevertheless, enjoy your G!

Looks sweet with a drop....I really would want to do this to my '05 but just don't think I could handle any kind of bumps with my car that low to the ground.

why so many people use just springs to lower the car? It is a "cheap" way but in the long run it is not that cheap comparing to coilovers or shocks/springs combo.
Stock struts will die pretty fast on lowering springs. The ride will become bouncy and eventually, which is not a long time, one would have to buy new shocks, spend time/pay labor to install the shocks....
I thought that "Do it once, but do it right" philosophy was a way to go. Especially having a semi-luxury car like G35 ...
What is everyone's opinion on that matter?
