One day...oh one day...we will have some springs that go down less than an inch. By that time I'll be complaining about something else though I'm sure...

Funny story is I was initially shopping the 08 coupe. I saw one a couple of months back at Niello in Concord that was on the showroom floor with 20" TSW's. I had a beautiful 06 G Coupe that I bought used in May, drove the heck out of, and enjoyed, but really started to get excited about the new coupe. Well.........went into the dealer, told them what I wanted on my G (which I previously bought VERY right from a private party), started looking at the practicallity of the sedan (I have 3 kids), and made a deal for invoice and great value on my coupe, drove out in the loaded 2007 S.
Started trying to find coupe wheels and tires - saw some for $1800 on this forum, and boom they were sold......Remembered the car at Niello, called the parts manager, asked about the take off wheels, he found them in the back. He wanted $2k - I told him I would give him $1800 and they needed to re-calibrate the TPMS that were in the coupe wheels. $1800 plus tax out the door with TPMS calibrated. I have my BRAND NEW 18" stock G35S wheels available with TPMS on the forum for $1150. Ideally, Looking at a $850 swing to the upgraded 19". They really look at home on the car.
King Tint is throwing on the 3M as we speak, and that will hopefully finish it off. Not really in favor or excited about lowering the car, and quite honestly, I am happy with the look relative to ride height. The 19" wheels are definitely a little louder over the concrete freeway grooves, but they look so good!
FWIW

Dealer simply waves a wand or something over it....They will charge you a hundred bucks or so?????? No big deal. It simply takes the TPMS sensors on the 19's and calibrates them to the car. You can do it anytime. Doesn't affect anything other than the display and hookup. Also, you can use the factory lug nuts and wheel locks no problem. I used the factory ones from my 18's.
