Lowering 08 G35xS

Hello,

Recently purchased an 08 G35xS sedan and I'm curious what lowering spring options are available that won't prematurely wear out the stock suspension? I've tried searching a few times, but I'm having a hard time finding the answer. I don't want an aggressive drop, just a mild drop to even out the gap.

Thanks in advance.

Tanabe is the mildest for the AWD, which "should" result in longer OEM shock life. Here's a thread on them and they may need to be raised w/ those bushings in back to even things out.

I saw that thread, and it must be my newness to the G family, but since the motor/trans is difference on the 09+ V36's, are the suspension the same? Does it matter that I have an 08 and not an 09 as far as springs?

The suspensions are the same but the 7AT weighs about 130 lbs more so the front might drop an additional 1/4" or so compared to the 5AT setup.
