Which springs for mild drop & ride similar to stock?

New member here. I just picked up a 2007 platinum graphite sedan a few weeks ago. After looking at other members rides here I am now wanting to lower my ride too. What I am looking for is a mild drop. Idealy about 1.5" lower in the front and 1.3" lower on the back. I am looking for springs that can acheive this but maintain a very similar to stock ride/feel on the road. I am planning on doing this in conjuction with new arms to get the car back into stock alignment specs so if you have any recomendations on A arms etc I would aprreciate that info too. I would have posted this in the suspension sub forum but I figure this would be a more model specific (G35 sedan 07/08)information that I need so that's why I posted here. I look forward to everyones input and if you have pics of your setups please post them up. Also I have searched at length and to no avail was unable to find a definitive answer to the question of what are the stock spring rates on the the 2007/08 sedan (not the S edition), so if anyone knows please let me know.

Thank you
shawn

Sounds like Eibach springs with SPC front and rear camber kits.

Yes mishmosh those are one of the sets (also considering tein h-techs) of springs I was looking at. I was hoping someone here might be able to chime in with their experience with either of these sets of springs. Thanks for the help mishmosh.

very bad roads here, so I can't afford a huge drop, especially at winter!

Are the stock / OEM shocks ok with Eibachs?

Whats usually the installed price for springs & SPC pieces?

Has anyone tried to use spring "spacers" with the aftermarket springs so as not to loose ground clearance? Is it safe on our cars?
