Nice G 02themax! 
Were you able to get the alignment back? How is the H-techs compared to
to stock sport springs, in terms of ride quality?

WTF is going on.. Alright im returning my car to stock and i take off my basics+400.00 and trade with a friend for 07 coupe suspension + Coupe 19's with tires. Im thinking my car is going to be perfect ride hight ready for me to sell with a two finger gap all around.
I lower the car off the jacks and the rear is a 1 finger gap with the front being a freaking hand. Looks like im lanching at 4k off the line with slicks, which would be fine but the cars turn off in my driveway.
Am i glad i didnt put my oem suspension back on or i would be heading out to the mudd pits.
So i guess im going to be looking to buy some springs here soon so this thread should help me out.. I want the car to sell fast so im hoping some clean oem rims plus a lagit drop will help the sell.

Thanks Eric, I got the alignment back to within specs. The Htechs are a bit soft in the rear but the ride quality is like stock! I should've went with Eibach's but once I installed sways it helped tighten things back up. Thanks for the compliments!

I'm in a debate between the eibach pro kits and the tein 350z h techs. which would you prefer? I will be on coupe 19's most likely and I don't want to have crazy camber issues. Rubbing I can deal with, since I will roll the rear fenders. You think I should just go with the eibach's first time around???
I have Eibachs for my setup (sitting on 19x8.5 all around). With no camber kit(s) installed yet, I was able to get the alignment dialed in to 1 deg negative camber on the front, and little less than 2 deg negative camber on the rear. I believe this is close to the coupe specs, and since I don't daily drive my G and don't put in a lot of miles, this is fine for me.

That's great! I don't mind it being a little softer. I don't really like the bone jarring feeling when hitting bumps with the stock sport springs. As long as I
get the sway bars too , I think it will work perfectly for me.

what tire size in front do you have?

From the FAQ thread:
Q - Will coupe 19's fit an 03-06 sedan?
Yes, however, if you lower your car you will need to either run smaller than OEM tires or roll/shave your fenders to avoid rubbing in the rear due the coupe 19's lower offset.

THANK YOU
It's nice to see some people take a few minutes to see if their question is answered in the FAQ before asking it again...

Ttrank, your FAQ answered a lot of my questions. Thank you!!!
The only concern I had was when I lowered the car with the 19" wheels, the gaps where a bit too much compared with the stock 18's. That was why I asked for photos of G's running on stock heights. Now I just gotta decide on which springs to get and also roll the fenders.

Tein 350z H techs, Eibach Pro kit, or Coupe/Z drop. Those are the best options dropped on coupe 19's that won't require a camber kit and can get or close to oem specs on camber
Personally I am going with the pro kit.. 1.0" all around
You will most likely need to roll the rear fenders if you drop on any of those springs I mentioned above if you are on the coupe 19's
