A few Q's

I have a few Q's I was hoping you guys could point me in the right direction for:

1.) Anybody have experience with H&R lowering springs? Any pics? Do I need to replace struts when installing these?

2.)My front roters have a pulse when slowing from higher speeds. the dealer tells me that it is a buildup of rust on the backside of the rotors that they don't think they can remove. If I wanted OEM comparable drilled rotors as replacements, which are the best and what is the cost/best place to buy them?

3.) I have 19" AT Italia Inox wheels - when I installed them, I had them balanced (bought them used) and they balanced out fine. There is a slight pulse at about 125km/hr now that wasn't there on the OE wheels/tire. Any thoughts? Is it possible that the balancer wasn't calibrated correctly?

My car is a 2005 G35 6MT

I did search these items, but found scatterred opinions on some and limited information on the other questions.

Thanks

1.) Anybody have experience with H&R lowering springs? Any pics? Do I need to replace struts when installing these? --Most people will recommend you also change the struts. Tokikos or 350z struts are common paths.

2.)My front roters have a pulse when slowing from higher speeds. the dealer tells me that it is a buildup of rust on the backside of the rotors that they don't think they can remove. If I wanted OEM comparable drilled rotors as replacements, which are the best and what is the cost/best place to buy them? --Our cars are notorious for brake problems. However, unless you will be doing some serious track time, the OEM rotors are a good choice.

3.) I have 19" AT Italia Inox wheels - when I installed them, I had them balanced (bought them used) and they balanced out fine. There is a slight pulse at about 125km/hr now that wasn't there on the OE wheels/tire. Any thoughts? Is it possible that the balancer wasn't calibrated correctly?--Most tire shops only balance to a certain degree of error. If you go to a racing alignment shop, they can balance your tires to a much tighter spec. Here in LA, I use Pruett Alignment in Redlands for alignment and balancing.

Thanks!

Although I am not planning anyything more than my spirited drive to work, I would still like to know the forums opinion on best drilled or slotted rotors over OEM. Are they that much more expensive than OE?

Does anyone have any pictures of 05+ G sedans on H&R springs?

Without switching the struts, what are the pitfalls? How long can i expect them to last and what is the difference (ride quality?)?

Thanks again

nope i just got a nice alignment job but that was about it. no camber kits or anything and handling is still superb. no rubbing on the 19's or the 20's when i had them on either.
