I know it's not ONLY for a drop. I had Tein springs on my G35 for 70k miles and the shocks were fine. Granted, they weren't as aggressive as my H&R springs are...I just don't want to deal with the hassle of gettin my ride height dialed in and then getting the car corner balanced. Plus, I'd be tempted to go lower. I already scrape my exhaust on the 3 speed bumps in my neighborhood as is. Call me cheap, but I'm just going to stick with springs for now.
