Since "there is always space for improvement"I've been considering a suspention upgrade for my 2004 sedan. Here is the dilema; eibach springs will stiffen the suspention enough for faster cornering, will minimaze nose dive when braking and may be installed with oem shocks ( that is with sport suspention which I don't have) but will lower 1.1 " to an allready low car; the other alternative could be shocks and sway bar upgrade without messing around with vehicles bottom clearance. Please comment on your experiences in this area, thanks

Sways will be an improvement even on stock suspension. To complete this setup, shocks/springs will have to be upgraded as well. Which order you do this is really makes no difference as I'm sure you don't track the car. I have upgraded shock/spring upgrade along with sways. The sways were done last.

I like the idea of springs for the benefits but I am concerned with bottom clearance since this is a daily driver.

with coilovers you can just adjust the height of the car. but its more pricey than just springs.

I personally don't consider the G to be a very low car. My I30 on eibachs (which sunk more than expected) was low (had a lower seat too).

350Z suspension might be an easier (and more affordable) alternative. The springs and shocks are direct fit and you can do most of it yourself (still need to harass 4drmadness about the write-up).

This will lower the car about 1 inch and will give it many of the other benefits you mentioned.
