So I want to lower my car...

I got the stock tires that fit the 17" rims for an 07 g35 sedan and I would really like to lower my car. Is a a requirement to get the shocks for the lowering springs? If so, what combo or lowering springs should I get? Is cutting the stock springs out of the question? Any input would be great, thanks guys.

Stock shocks will work fine if you use lowering springs. Cutting stock springs is bad ... the spring rate will go up and you will have a harsh ride.

I prefer Eibach springs:

But here, you can find links to different pictures of cars using various other manufacturer springs:

In the end, it's a matter of how low do you want to go and the pros and cons of that decision.

Are impul just for the G35X? Seems like all the post I see with impul installs are with AWD. Just thinking out loud if used on the sport G35 sedan, will it be lower than stock; since the impuls drops it very little and the sport is already lower than the X

No, I had IMPUL springs on my G and it's not an X. I have some for sale if you're interested. I have to clean them up. I only had them on for a little over a year. Sorry to hijack.
