Suspension question with 20s

Can you please help me out with a question? How low can you drop a G35 AWD sedan approx without needing a camber kit? Also, in your opinion how low can you go without the fear of scrubbing? I am currently looking at the following. So which would you suggest based on my wants and fears.

B&G 1.5F/0.9R
Eibach 1.1F/1.1R
Forget name but 1.4 al around.
Also, I am getting a set of 20s with 245/35. Will I have to do anything special to accomodate these?

20s on AWD

My guess is I am not going to be dropping it since they do not make a kit that is for the AWD model specifically. I think the 20s will look good. I would like it a litle lower but since I have a baby on the way I better play it safe. What is your opinion on 20s at stock honestly. Will it look that bad? Personally I do not like the majority of how low cars are on here for daily drivers anyway.

It means exactly what it says they do not make a kit for an AWD model. I know there are a lot of people on here with kits for the coupe and so forth but I do not feel comfortable placing springs on a car that are for different cars.

By the way I should not have said that I do not like the maority of the cars on here. I think the majority of them look great but it is not for me having a car that low anymore. I have had many cars in the past that were real low but I just dont want to sacrafice ride quality and most importantly my extended warranty.

i have 350z tein s techs on my car and work perfectly .. 350z stock springs drop your car 1'' coupe springs drop your car .5'' ... they are all interchangeable and work perfectly fine .. you can use any springs that are for those cars and be fine ..

i do indeed have a extended warranty as well but i still have my stock springs and struts :-)

it's not like buying suspension for a truck where the 4x4 models run torsion bars and the 2wd run coil springs up front. The only difference between the suspensions is spring rate, and height.. Read the link that was provided a few replies above and you will learn a LOT.

I am the same way, I dont care for a big drop...it looks nice on some cars, but its not for me anymore. You will hear a term around here, called the G/Z drop..or the (G)35 coupe (rear springs) and 350(Z) front springs..Look at the many pics that people have posted..best of all, they are OEM springs so ride quality wont suffer (IMO it's a lot more responsive and more fun to drive). I am running 350Z springs all around and I am happy with it. To be honest, I think 20's will look silly with the the AWD springs...the fender gaps will be exagerated.
