2008 g35x lowering springs
I want to lower my g35x 2008 since I just got new 19" rims with lower profile tires and have looked at this http://www.racinglab.com/tanabe-nf210-060.html and just wondering if this will work for my car because its the closest one on the site and most people seem to favor his brand. Also is there anything else I need to lower my car or will these springs be enough? Thanks

any drop over .5" or so, and you'll want a camber kit - front and rear, which runs ~$500, plus the install. Many people skip this, and end up burning through tires at a ludicrous rate. Factor it in to your budget.
I'm weighing the options at present as well, as the SUV stance of the stock X - especially on 19s - is killing me.
Figure a few hundred for the springs, $500 for the camber kit, and $150 or so for the install. $850ish.

Seems like the cutoff area is around 1.5" when camber kit's are really needed, at least from all the info I've gathered. If you run a bit excess camber (in the -2.0 area) but your toe is in spec your wear won't be excessive. Eibach & Swift springs are close to the edge where kits are needed, but most can get them in spec w/ an alignment shop that's not lazy
Dropping a half inch is well within stock camber/toe adjustment.

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
I've found through research and personal experience that the need for camber kits is a car by car thing. I initially installed sedan H techs on my sedan with an advertised drop of less than an inch both F/R and got an alignment after the springs had settled. My car ate through the tires in 6 months and 5000 miles, and I've seen other examples of this happening.
Remember all that Nissan already has built aggressive suspension specs into the G for performance purposes so any drop at all will send these even further out of the range of normal tire wear.

Good point, seems like every car reacts differently, a guy w/ Eibachs can't get spec and someone even lower squeeks it in. Also alignment shops can be hit or miss too. A shop that can't seem to get the camber & toe balanced out and go to another shop and it's no problem. Shops that tend to deal w/ more lowered & custom cars seem to really be able to get them in spec much easier than shops that just work primarily on stock vehicles.

There are quite a few members that use the lifetime balance promo at Firestone w/ mixed results. There's only one shop in our sad town that I trust to align my G, and there's only one other place that can get a lowered G on their rack
