Raising my g to stock height

hi guys, i need your input on this.
i will be raising my g sedan to stock height again unfortunately. i have 18 staggered on them now (f-8.5 r-9.5). when i do run stock again what tire sizes should i run front and rear to reduce the gap with 18 inch rims?

thank you guys.........

Back to stock height?

Why are you returning your G back to stock height? Did you have camber issues with that much drop with the Tanabe springs?What if you went with 350Z H-tech springs instead to help fill the gap with your 18's?

We don't have a sedan here running what your thinking about and for good reason.
Those springs would drop a sedan 2.2"/1.7" and for such a low drop they hardly afford you any additional protection against that kind of a lose in suspension travel in the form of increased spring stiffness. Also your looking at the requirement for whole car aftermarket alignment fixes, $620 minimum (Cusco front arms and the rear SPC kit). Frankly for that kind of a drop, you'd be far better off running coilovers, but you'll still need the stuff to make the alignment right.

Tanabe DF210 G35 COUPE progressive springs 1.7”/1.2” drop on G35 coupe, G35 sedan drop will be higher
Spring rates in LBS 308/353
Stiffer or softer then oem springs by F-2% R+3% (see note at top)

thanks for answering, i've been waiting for you to come around

so now i did the work finding the picture. it looks like the rear is sagging, at least in the picture. is there a system in the trunk? i understand rear fenders are usually always lower than the fronts, but the gap in teh front is a lot more than the rear.




edit: i know the picture is tilted, and it looks GREAT btw.
