G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
You can but know that Z springs will lower your car an inch more than the advertised drop on the Z.

I really gotta take pics but I suck at it. So far Im loving the FortuneAuto 500. Im still playing around with dampering. Started at soft and working my way to hard. Im at about the middle right now. Ride is good and taking fast turns I feel very planted. The only bad thing is I ripped my passenger cv boot... Looked like it was the original one. Spewed grease all over the wheel well. Im not 'slammed' at all either now.

I have the silver 04x above. I love my drop it rides as good as a lowered car can and the only issue I will say that I have had and it's a common one is I had to replace the front left inner cv boot. Other than that the underneath of the car does sit fairly low to the ground so I am always mindful of that. But to say lowering you g wil f*** it up I don't agree.you either want a lowered car or you don't and the ones that say they don't are always negative about doing it in my opinion. Using H&R springs for a rear wheel drive sedan on all four corners lowered my x about 2-1/4 inches. I will also add it was the easiest car I have ever lowered took a total of 2 and a half hours start to finish! My 2 cents since you asked!

Im on Fortune Auto 500s coilovers with Swift springs. I also have an 05x. You can lower your car but not slam it. I pretty much went very low at first and tore a boot on the passenger side. Now Im at I believe 26.5 (not 100% sure on that number will try and get a measurement again) inches from the ground to the fender.

1 - Springs from '06 350Z
2 - 1.25 in the front, 1.75 in the rear
3 - I feel just a little more feedback, but still very close to original. It does not have any harshness or bottoming.
4 - I would of liked a more even drop.
5 - I've put just 200 or so on them. I'll update my comments if necessary.
6 - So far so good.
7 - 235/45/18 - offset 42mm

I'm replacing my struts soon with KYB OE ones and want to get a mild drop on the car. Ideally I was thinking I'd use stock coupe springs, maybe even only on the front. I cannot for the life of me find stock springs anywhere online... I imagine they'd be harder to come by now and any search always gives me results for aftermarket springs.
Does anyone know where to currently find coupe springs? Or am I better off just looking at the Eibach Pro-Kit or something similar?
