Agree, Juan your G is looking nice!
Might check this DIY, the painted GTR tails look really good when done well

Thank you all. Well showed up to the shop and the car would not make it up the ramps for alignment, to low. So now I have to lift the car then back to shop.
***UPDATE***
I did find a shop that has a drive on aligment rack. So I will just be adjusting the coils to prevent rubbing

Actually you need to keep your car at the lowered height that you'll be driving, the alignment changes as you go up or down. I'd call around and find another shop that has a setup that will work w/ your lowered G, might take a bit of searching but you NEED to have your car aligned w/ it lowered.
back to tryng to figure this out. removed the rear springs and adjusted the collars for height. got the backs looking good. the fronts different problem. adjusted the collars and the front left strut is leaking. its not a whole lot but it shouldnt be so that sucks.
got the coils finally all good. height of the ride is 27 1/4 inches to top of fender but even at that im rubbing fenders on bumps, only once in a while not constantly. i now plan on rolling/pulling the fender enough to give me clearance for tires. once that is done im going about and inch or so lower. going for very little gap if any to no gap. also im going to be getting the front camber arms. back to saving money in the g bank.

Have you trimmed the rear bumper bracket and fender liner yet? Rolling the front fender is much easier than pulling, so in that area it's a good plan for a roll.
Were you able to replace the leaking shock or are you just limping by in the mean time?
You may not need to pull the fenders (I would only do this if you've already trimmed the bumper bracket and fender liner) pulled fenders can turn out looking poor if done by a shop that's not well versed on those.

thanks for the welcome adrian
. so today i did the coilover install. took me a while. started at noon and didnt check out of the lift till about 8 in the evening. first time i have done this so im ok with the time it took. moving on, i like the drop on it and i rides really good. now im no expert in suspension quality but for me it was great. for comparison to oem it was on par with it. no rubbing or clearance issues at the moment. i did not get to sawp wheels due to my error.
i left the replacement lugs at home. poop goose. here are some pictures of it that just give it a little justice. ill post few more tomorrow when sun is out for better look.

Welcome to the site!
Unless I'm reading this wrong, you got 8 hours rental on a lift for $64.00? Man, I'm jealous, you can't touch shop time where I live for less than $200 - $500 a day IF you can find any!
