What Springs/What Inch?

I was wondering what would be the ideal drop to sit the car down on my 18 ich wheels. What would be the right way to go with this?

Unless your going to go with coilovers i would suggest the Eibach Pro Kit.. the drop is 1.1 -1.4 inches. I think Intrax has a two inch drop if you want to take it lower..

The only thing to consider with the lowering springs is how much will they sag. Some are very little and some drop more than you would expect. I had Eibach's 1.5 drop on my Galant they ended up being a 1.8 drop total. Hope this info helps.

My Galant took about 3 months. I put them on in June by September it looked really good but speed bumps became a problem.

Depending on howmuch you wanna spend you could always get coilovers... then adjust the height if you think its too high or too low..I konw that BLITZ, HKS, and JIC all have coilovers for the G35... and i think Nismo will come out with them when they have their line of products out..

I have the Eibach Pro Kit on mine. Also have 18" Giovanna's on there. The Pro Kit really makes the wheel wells fill up. You can check out some pics under my ride.
