Your drop is perfect. I notice in the thread above that you kind of leave the guys hanging about your setup...
You should post a couple of those pictures in this thread so people can see how they look on a slammin G35. I don't think the Z people would mind... and you do have Stance coilovers...

Guys, just wanted to let you know that the Stance coilovers are pretty good, but keep in mind, that compared to stock, the ride is much stiffer and those who are seeking comfort ride should look for alternatives or packages with progressive springs as opposed to linear. When you receive your Stance coilvers, check the suspension for loose nuts/bolts before installation, quality is good though. You'll experience some noise from the rear but with proper installation and camber adjustments, etc it will be less noticable. The rear springs in my opinion are stiff enough, I dont see why you should go for anything harder unless you plan on taking it to the track more often as opposed to daily driving/street racing. Combined with Hotchkiss sway bars, the performance is surely enhanced and can perform well on the track.
For best performance, you should consider installing adjustable camber links and sway bars, and go for the best tires money can buy.
Best of all, Ray from Enjukuracing is a fantastic guy to deal with, great service, he has his own 350Z and therefore can understand any concerns or issues you may have and will order for you almost anything you need for a great price, don't rely on their website for product list/price, check with Ray!

These Stances are great with the 12/5 spring rates. I have tracked and daily driven cars (Z's and G's) with these, and other shocks on the market (most of them) These are a great daily driven shock and spring combonation, that also behave well at the track.
Ray at Enjuku Racing and Dave at Stance are great to work with.

Well, after a few days of riding on these coilovers, the only thing I'm not liking is the annoying squeeking sound that I hear from the rear at cruising speeds 
. So far they are set at full soft until I break them in for a few hunderd miles & then I plan on tweeking them a bit. What settings do you guys have yours on?
