My S sedan has about 35k miles on it, I am wanting a slight drop of maybe an inch and I am thinking Eibach springs. Will my stock shocks be ok or will it produce a bouncy ride? I do like the way my car drives in stock form and would like the ride to remain close to the same if possible. Please advise, thanks in advance.

At only 35K miles, your OEM sport shocks will be fine.

blnewt will be around this thread shortly, recommending Tein Basis coilovers as a $500 alternative to lowering springs on a RWD Sedan. He's not wrong.

Lol, yep, for the price the Teins would be a good option, you can drop to the height you want and you'll be running a system that is designed to work at full travel rather than a compromised lowering spring/OEM damper setup.

For more coin the Koni yellows w/ the lowering spring of your choice is another viable option.

Here's more info on the Teins
TEIN.com: STREET BASIS - PRODUCTS
B2 Autodesigns (ask for Charles) or THMotorsports (ask for Luke) are good vendors, be sure to mention myG37.com

Thanks for the recommendation and link to the Tiens. Will I be fine lowering an inch without needing a camber kit?

There's no guarantee. And it's really a subjective thing, based on how much negative camber you're willing to accept after you get the car aligned. Also, the minimum drop will still be at the extent of the height adjustment rings... which, coincidentally, is about -1" compared to OEM, give or take.

I'm at 26 3/4" floor to fender at all four corners. OEM height in floor-to-fender measurements on the RWD Sport are approximately 28 1/3" front, and 27 4/5" rear. (In OEM trim, the Sport Sedan has a natural droopy rear, about 1/2".)

Brad is right... as long as you're not looking to adjust damping, the Tein Basis CO is a great value. Comfort is not compromised at all, and handling is as good or better than OEM-Sport.

Probably, but you will accelerate wearing them out.

I'd say go tien or Koni & your spring of choice. Save your still good OE suspension for going back to stock when you sell the car and recoup some of the $$ in the classifieds for your aftermarket suspension.
