Looking to lower my X

I am interested in lowering my 2004 g35x. I have read through the stickies and searched, but with not much success. I would like to just get the BC racing coilovers, but I cannot afford to spend that much now.

1.What spring options do I have?- I would prefer to purchase new rather than used such as 350z springs and such.

2.Will the spring choice that you suggest require either a front or rear camber kit?

3.What options would I have for shocks\struts.

Thank you for your input.

I got RWD Tein S-Tech springs on my G35X that I bought off Ebay for $200.00 shipped. I've had them on stock shocks for close to a year without any problems.

There is a sticky on the top of this section 300+ pages on this topic. The best is coilovers or H&R sedan springs.

It lowered my car about 2 inches in the front and 1.5 inches in the rear. You can see pics of my car with the drop in the thread link below....

H&R states that they do not fit the awd model. Is their any problems I need to expect. Or is fitment fine.

It's not the springs, it's the shocks that are the problem

Thanks for all the help. What is the recommendation then for the front struts/rear shocks. Also do most of you end up getting a rear camber kit as well?

Thanks
