I just installed some GF210's last week on my roadster with 19's. Here is a picture before the springs were installed
I'll take a picture with the springs installed and post it later. It looks a LOT better with a with lowering springs imho

here, I took this earlier. You can't really see the difference because everything is black, but in person I think it looks a lot better with the 1 inch drop

Looks good man!
What are those wheels? Where did you get them and how much?
Well guys, I guess I didn't need to start this thread because I'll most likely be putting a deposit down on a 2005 G35 Coupe. I appreciate everyone posting though. All the cars look awesome!

these first two pics are without my Tein Stechs(the car looks like a damn truck its so high), the third is the same tires with the Teins, it looked alot better but the tire being the wrong size still bothered me, finally the last pics are Teins + 235/35 and 285/35 tires...its as close to perfect as I am going to get, any lower I would have to shave the fender wall and get some suspension, but I am happy where it sits.

Another thing to think about before you lower your car is the camber on the wheels. When you lower your car, it will bow out you wheels and you will go through some tires unless you install camber adjusters. Camber adjuster will run you anywhere from $800 to $1600 depending on the brand.

To Mr. Alien187: Actually..no. I was in contact with Nissan during the time I was researching the set up. The tire's size are very near that of stock dia. I was also concerned about if these changes would affect the anti-lock system, they assured me it wouldn't. The car rides a little stiff ( low profiles do that). Other than that, me and the car are very happy!
