Is the 05 6M already lowered?

I just got my 05 6M coupe two weeks ago and I have to say I can't imagine lowering it any further or wanting to make it stiffer. Is the 6M lower compared to the autos due to the sport tuned suspension?

Yep, I read that somewhere. It's about 1/2" lower and much stiffer
than the regular coupe's setup. I think I read that you even get
stiffer swaybars... no?

I can't comment on the sway bars being different, but I can say the car stays pretty flat while turning. It's WAY stiffer than my dad's 04 sedan...

The 05 coupe with the sport suspension is NOT lower(any 05 coupe with oem 19's).

When I took my test drive in the car when it first hit the dealers, I also took along a tape measure. I had a hunch that Infiniti simply swapped in the oem Z suspension. If I saw a 1/2" of lowering compaired to other coupes without the sport suspension that would be a clue. Thing is, the car had the same exact ride height compaired to 3 other 04 coupes also on the lot at the time.

I think the 1/2" thing is coming from the fact if 350Z springs are run on the G coupe, they will lower the car 1/2".
