hi i have a 2004 G35 Sedan with 20 inch wheels and a tire size of 245/35R20



ok the overall diamter is 26.75 inch or 679.45mm and the width is 9.64 in or 245 mm

my question is wether or not id have enough room to get an eibach pro kit with a 1.1 inch drop...ive been wanting to buy it for so long but my knowledge of the room availabe to me is lacking..please someone help me if you have any idea wether or not it will hit or rub

The Eibach should be just fine. That kit is a 1.1/1.1

I have 245/35/20 front and 275/30/20 rear with H&R springs 1.3/1.2 drop

Depends how much your willing to spend.................
I'm going with the Tein 350Z H-Tech springs. Mostly
because I don't want to mess with a-arms and
excessive tire wear. These springs will keep me
within factory specs and won't have to mess with
aftermarket additives. Drop is slightly less than an
inch in front and like three quarters out back.

2nd on the Eibachs. Make sure to get a rear camber kit installed at the same time to save on labor.

That's too low. You will have problems in the front trying to turn and not rub.

You have a G35, get good springs.

If your dropping past 1", it's a good idea to either install oem revised Z shocks or to invest in Toikico D-specs. Not just because either shock is valved stiffer, but because both have 3/4" shorter shock bodies and piston rod lengths. Getting the idea that you have this wonderfull increase in spring stiffness when you've really run out of suspension travel is not a plus.

i assume your rims are a +35mm offset because they look past the fenders in the rears...i would do the 350z springs...
