Need pics of lowered G35C with 18" stock wheels

I want to lower my G and won't be changing wheels for a couple months. I want to see some stock wheels with lowered springs.

Looks pretty hot. The front is kind of too low for my tastes, but I'm thinking of lowering my G too, keeping the stock wheels, cuz I love them.

Re: Need pics of lowered G35C with 18" stock wheels

I hope you'll all bare with me, I have a few questions about lowering. I know it looks amazing, but what is the effect of lowering the car on the ride? Is it harsher, smother etc.? Do the tires rub inside the wheel wells when you go over a bump? Does the suspension tend to bottom out since it has less room to travel? Does it actually handle better or do new springs tend not to work as well with all the other stock suspension components?

I've always wondered about this but never asked... I hope those aren't totally inane questions.

Re: Need pics of lowered G35C with 18" stock wheels

those are good questions, I also have one more question.

Along with the springs, did you put new shocks in? Because on some (most?) cars the stress will be more on the stock shocks so aftermarket ones will be needed.

Also, what was the total cost of the drop. And where you purchased/installed it. I really wanna look into that.
Thanks.
