SO yeah i finally picked up some springs for $220. I was planning on getting coilovers, but I'm moving soon and didnt want to dish out $800+. Coilovers will come in the summer.
here are pics.
Comparing the New to the old (front springs)

I'll take better pics after a wash...and maybe put on some 18" G35 wheels

Looks Good!! Did you still use the factory shocks? I have a set of eibach springs and was thinking about getting some kyb shocks but don't want to shell out the funds right now. That simple drop that you got is exactly what I was looking for ... and if you have factory shocks and you say that it handles better then I may go the same route.

yep factory shocks. When i took em off, i though my shocks were old...but they were just tooo clean to be old. took me about 6 hours to install....
one warning...when taking off the the castle nut...if you dont have a pitman arm...you can use WD-40 and tap the sides with a hammer and it'll pop off....but do not smash hit the threads. i made the mistake of hitting the threads by accident and it took me 2 hours to fix
just to add, the car went even lower when i got up this morning..went from 1.5" gap to around .75" gap
