2008 Sedan lowered on H-Tech Springs

This was a request from a member. I'd just thought I would post some pics to help answer any questions for anyone wishing to lower their G on the Tein H-Tech springs. I just got the springs installed yesterday and the springs are suppose to settle down a little more within the next 2 weeks. The rear is also lower than the front. I hope this becomes less noticeable as the days go on. I had a 3/4 full tank of gas when these pics were taken.

2008 G35 Sedan
225/45/18 tires
Tein H-Tech springs

Thanks for the compliments guys. The rims are Momo Corse. I found them on the performanceplus.com web-site. The ride feels the same. It doesn't feel any different.

My Eibachs look lower than that. Maybe because of my stock wheels. I barely installed them 3 days ago. I need spacers!!!

Those are nice rims...love the finish but I would paint the center caps. That is a nice conservative drop and looks level to me. The finger gap on the rears should look smaller.

Thanks again for the compliments fellas. I'm trying my best to turn my G into a beast. It's like a game for me to see how close I can park to the cabinet without hitting it, LOL. Anyways, the rear end is definitely lower than the front. Anyone know if this is normal or typical with the 07-08 sedans lowered on h-tech springs?
I still have a couple of weeks to let the springs settle, but I don't know if the front springs will settle all that much more. An uneven drop would really annoy me.

225 tires for a good balance between speed and traction I was thinking. More rubber on the road translates into more traction, but also more friction.

Sorry for the hijack but, how did you black-out your chrome trim around the windows?

I used dupli-color spray paint. I will probably do a brief DIY post on it, but it's pretty much the same steps as painting your grill. Sand, primer, paint color of your choice, and then clear coat.
