Because i can't spent $3.000 in a set of rims, i`m happy for the people that can, but i can't....if i see a good looking rims for half of the price that's what I'm getting...Wolks, T1s, ETC they are good wheels but the price is insane, if i hit a pot hole, i gonna have to spent $1000 in a single rim, bro thats crazy as long as the car looks good i`m fine with that.....

first of all-post your offsets to help determine how flush you will be
the size of tires could vary depending on how much you are looking to drop the car, and the amount of camber you are willing to run.

the offsets are +15mm my b im new to all this and i plan on lowering it on g35 s techs or 350z h techs idk about camber

Personally I wouldn't buy used shocks with more than 20K miles on them and finding OEM with less than that might be hard. They are around, but it might take a while.
Tokico HP are a good cost affective alternative to OEM replacement. They will match the higher spring rate of most aftermarket springs better. They will also last longer with the new springs than OEM will.
If you get 350z shocks/struts they will have a shorter rod (body is the same length) which would also match the lower stance from the new springs.
A few vendors on here sell them for good prices.

I was thinking in getting the coil overs but i`m not sure.....this car is my daily drive so dont know if spending $1100 on suspension will be worth it... i want something smooth no hard....what is the difference between coil overs and springs... will spring only will be more softer? or coil overs are both softer and adjustable? i want 20 so dont know if just springs will give me that nice drop look....will like the car to look even no more drop in the front and less in the back...

Check out the thread in the suspension section called "pirate coilovers" or similar to that.
Most coilovers will allow tuning of the shocks (rebound and dampening) so you can tune them to your liking (softer, firmer etc) and height adustability usually from 0 to -4" some more or less.
Coils will lower your car a set amount and thats it. Depending on which ones you go with they may be softer or firmer than OEM springs. I ended up with coilovers after several sets of springs. I like the ability to adjust my ride height to my liking along with tuning of the shocks.
Used set-ups show up in the marketplace here often. I have seen some good deals, but you have to be ready to jump on them when you see them otherwise someone else will ****** them up.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but I believe the Basics dont allow for tuning of the shocks/struts, just height adjustment. If thats the case I would spend a little more and get adjustable shocks/struts.
