Skunk 2 states they lower: 1.30 - 1.00"

If you were to put those springs on a G35 they will lower 1" extra...

Yea the sportlines SLAMMED my car literally. If it went any lower the car would be totally useless. I pretty much cant even go over ANY speedbumps. It would be fatal to the car.

Pics of my car only difference now is 25mm spacers in the rear.

Sportlines FTW. I can't wait to put mine on! Gotta wait cause I don't think I'll be able to drive through snow with 3'' ground clearance. lol.

The Sportlines put the car on the GROUND. I'm willing to bet it's the lowest of any spring setup, regardless of what they are rated at. Here's a few pics of mine:
