All- 08 G35s sedan. Trying to minimize how much cash I'm spending and trying to find springs with a mild drop that won't force me to go with a camber/alignment kit, doubling the price. I read (forgot where) that .8" is about as much of a drop as you can get without camber adjustments and not have the tires wear too unevenly. Haven't found any springs that are less than a 1.25" (in that vicinity) or more.

Two questions- is that .8" the number I really need to be under? And does anyone know of any brands that offer this kind of drop? I've got the lightly stiffer sport model shocks if that makes a difference (guessing it help me accommodate stiffer springs).

Thanks!

Probably your only option is G35 Coupe springs. Should be about 1 inch drop, still may need camber adjustment over stock though.

Other option would be coilovers and having them really high, but ruins having coilovers.

Appreciate the help- thanks! Think I'm going with the Eibach pro-kit springs (with the camber kit).

OK- getting ready to but the pro-kit springs. Eibach has an alignment kit to go with it, with 3 items (prices are TireRack):5.72260K- rear camber arm, adjusts camber and toe, $1745.72265K, rear camber bolts, adjusts camber and toe, $295.72130K, front set, adjusts camber and caster, $333

Best I can tell, I need all of them- actually, 2 of the first and 2 of the second (found on other random sites selling these). My first time doing suspension work where I needed to worry about this- any help you all can offer here?

Thanks!
