Lowering Question for my SC400 Need help...
Ok I'm probably gonna get hammered for this one but I just thought I still need to create my post since I need to tell you guys what i got in order to get accurate suggestions...
Anyways I got the stock G35 Coupe 7 Spokes 18" Chrome Wheels on my SC400 now, so now I need to lower the car since it looks pretty weird lol
I'm new to all of this so have mercy please =)
So far I know there are two options, springs and shocks being one, and coilovers being the other... And here's my question
I know coilovers are more expensive but they are adjustible for different uses, like track and daily? I dont plan to take my car to track and I'm not really an aggresive driver, want a sportier ride but comfort still matters for me the most, I read some good things about tien springs and tokico shocks, I also heard that Espelir can lower the car up to 2" I want the car to be low but I dont want to hit the curb all the time so I need some suggestions on that too...
I went from stock 16" to right now 18" staggered, I need suggestions on tires too, the ones that are on the wheels right now are 225 45 18 and 245 45 18, are the rear too big? I read something abou getting 245 40 18 will make it better. Any other tire size suggesions?
I have the front tires still around 65% so I only need to purchase the rear ones. And I really need to purchase tires now since they have like 5-10% threads left lol
Thanks a tonnn guys and any help is GREATLY appreciated

i have 225 40 18f and 235 40 18r
8.5"f 9.5"r +35mm offset both
i used to run 265's cambered all the way in to tuck them. it sits perfectly lowered now with a little wheel gap(235), since i dont want to put camber kits in. i took to to an alignment place, had em max the camber neg, then lowered it until it was zero.
