G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods

Ash H Techs won't as they only offer around a 1" drop but S Techs will come close.
I dont want to eliminate the wheel gap, just reduce. Im at about 3 fingers right now, would like to be 1 or 2, if H techs eliminate it all together it sounds like it would be too low for me
I just got OEM rays, so 225/40/19 and 245/40/19.
I also am going to run the stock 17" in the winter.
Im not sure what to look for in the G/Z combo either, what years of G and what years of Z are applicable?
Also, I have heard that revised Z is the same thing as G/Z combo. If that is the case, could I also run revised Z/ unrevised Z?
My paragraph has too many Gs and Zs lol...

That would probably be too low for me, but that looks good! Did you have to roll fenders / get a camber kit for that? What springs are those?
Update..I just looked and my springs are black right now, so I guess I am non-sport.
As far as I know my options are...
A set of unrevised Z springs
A set of revised Z springs
Unrevised Z springs in front, g coupe springs in back
Revised Z springs in front, g coupe springs in back
Unless the G coupe was revised at some point...then add 2 points to that list.
Whats important
Reduced wheel gap
Even wheel gap
No camber kit needed
If someone can help me choose it would be very appreciated
On a side note, I am pretty sure that I have a 2003.0, but where is the ECU, I want to check if I have a 2003.5.

I'll have to let someone else chime in on springs I have no idea about them, but I can tell you that 1" is basically the threshold for needing aftermarket camber/toe adjustments.
Ideally with ANY drop you SHOULD have it, but 1" will be fine. More than that is really pushing it.
RS*R Coilovers. First on a sedan it seems.
And yes of course camber adjustable SPC arms. These were just installed and I need to raise it up at least an inch, it's way too low for me.

I have a question I couldn't find that's kind of related
Please correct any of the following if I'm incorrect:
1. The 350Z/G35 Coupe/G35 Sedan all share the same suspension...
2. *Approximately, in inches*:
The 350Z ride height is "0"
The G35 Coupe ride height is "+1"
The G35 Sedan ride height is "+2"
The G35x Sedan ride height is "+2.7"
Given this knowledge (if correct), how can it be that the control arms, etc, are all interchangable between these models?
Or am I mistaken, and they AREN'T interchangable? If that's the case, where do they differ?

H tech/S tech is about $250-$300 right? Unless camber kit will come to $200 or less then your $500 will be enough.
I have ebaich sportlines lowering springs for coupe and no camber kit etc installed. I have 35 series tires with this set up though.
Here's where she sits now:
Im getting used OEM suspension from a 350Z or a g/z combo, I am still trying to figure out exactly what Im looking for. (Unrevised/revised and all the combos possible)
Ive taken a quick look though, and it seems they are usually in the range of 80-120 for a set. So if I can get camber for all the wheels for like 300 or something that would be good. It may turn out that I only need it on one axle too.
Correct me if Im wrong - I only need a camber kit if I cant get the camber within spec as is, right? So I could just get springs, go get it alligned, and if they say they couldnt align the rear, I could just go get rear camber. Is that correct?

I have an oil change due. Should i switch to high mileage oil since mine has done 105k? Or should i stick to regular oil?
Also, is there any 105000 mile service that i should do? Or do i wait till 120k mile?
thanks
