When lowering the G
Yes I will show once I do! I actually just ordered some coilovers, now I'm looking into a camber kit. Again I am new to this, so since I'll be getting a camber kit as well should I get only the rear? Or front and rear? I want to make sure since I'm dropping my G that I do it right! Thanks for the help btw 

I'll chalk this one up to my ignorance... but could someone tell me why anyone would spend the time, hassle, and money to lower their car? Seems like a lot to go through for no real benefit while producing a car that will have a smaller pool of potential buyers on resale. It seems the time and money could be spent on other mods that will give performance, comfort, or some type of actual benefits without impairing the car's value and risking losing your oil pan with every bump or pothole. There must be something to it because lots of people do this but I'm still scratching my head on this one.....

LOL, really though, some do it for performance, some do it for look, some do it for both.

I have to admit I lowered mine for looks and I think the performance part is actually a bigger plus! Mine drives awesome since the springs went on.
Most of us that drop it will end up returning it to stock when it's time to resell, then just part out the aftermarket stuff. You'll make a lot more in the end and like you said, most people looking for a used G prefer a G closer to stock.
I wouldn't want a G at stock height, I wish they'd come a bit lower from the factory but that's not the case, so not much else to do but lower the suspension

I as well plan of keeping all stock parts once I begin modding. As bsettles said, it's a hobby. I am lowering my car for looks, but I'm also buying the right parts so I can also improve performance so I get the best of both worlds
i too just lowered on coils and also have the rubbing issue on the fenders. im going to roll the fenders enough to give me clearance when going over bumps and dips. its a bit wrenching to hear it but i am able to manage it for the time bieng. and adrian what rims you running bro.

These cars are pretty much rolled from factory. A lot of people with aggressive offset start running into issues on the rear (rear bumper bracket).
I'm lowered on H&R Springs + wheel spacers. I had to trim some of the rear bumper bracket and need to trim a little more so it'd stop rubbing on big dips. Fronts don't rub at all.

Copy that Adrian. They look good man.
I'm not running any spacers and rubbing up front. If I lower the back anymore I'll rub also. So I will be pulling/rolling all four fenders. I want to be able to get another in down and I'll be happy with the height.
