lol bro you can lower on springs/coils. springs cheaper limited drop you only get what the springs provide, coils fully adjustable. im on tein S tech springs only you can look at my pics, just do your research homie, all the different brands of springs offer different drops. goodluck!

Well a camber and toe kit are recommended for a good alignment. You can get a mild drop with eibach pro kit I had it on my 08 coupe and it was a nice drop and not too crazy. The camber kit you can SPC is pretty popular and affordable. Here is my 08 coupe on eibach's I had before I sold it.

whats the mileage on that g... if high my recommendation is to grab some struts alongside the lowering springs...
or go with coilovers.. which allows for more adjustability and balancing..

Hey Ricio, I've been wondering if your front grill came stock in black like that with a chrome infiniti logo or did you plasti-dip it? I've been trying to get me front grill in a black color instead of this chrome.

I'd highly consider replacing the dampers on a 7 year old car while you have the springs off.

I don't know I bought the car like that but now my sedan one is chrome and I'm planning on vynil wrapping it gloss black or painting it so I'm still debating. Don't really want to Plasti dip it but I seen some nice grilles Plasti dipped.

Springs are the bare minimum needed. This is what determines the ride height. I'm the kinda person that tries to find the cheapest way to do things. This usually costs me 3X as much in the end. I'm lowered on Eibach springs. Got them used on here for about $175 shipped. They look great in my opinion. About 1.3" drop in front and .8" in the back. Got the car aligned about 2 weeks after to let springs settle. I've had them on for several months now. Maybe 6 and the tires seem to be wearing fine. No camber kits. Ride is slightly rougher but really not bad at all. Passengers never seem to notice. I'm thinking of getting a front sway bar now. Taking hwy on ramps the car sways too much. Need to tighten it up.

plasti dip if done right looks good.. you can use glossifier with it to get the shine you want...
keep in mind that the wrap only lasts for so long.... had i known that.. id have painted my roof instead of wrapping it..
