Nice Drop and lower level fogs

Hi guys,
Just bought a Platinum Graphite 6MT about 3 weeks ago. Back 3 years ago when I bought a Volkswagen Gti I did a lot of wrong things like buying wrong wheels with wrong offsets etc. This time I want to get it right. I want to drop it 1 1/2 or 2 inches but I don't want the rear part of my car to be lower than the front part of my car. This happened with my VW and I also notice through a lot of pictures in this site that people's G37's rear fender area is lower than the front. It does not look that nice. Does anyone know of any springs that would give me the look I'm looking for? Pictures would be nice please.

Also, some may think this is ricer but I think that fog lights were the 2 bottom closed grills are at would look very nice! Audi, Lexus, BMW, Mercedes and Porches pull it off very nicely so. I'm sure the Infiniti would look very nice with the bottom fog lights as well. Does anyone have this set up? Thaanks in advance for all your help!

Yea I have I just want more opinions. Your car looks very nice but due to the effects I can't really notice the drop clearly.. Is there a bigger gap in the front tires or rear tires fender area? thx

With Eibach the front is a 2 finger drop, the rear is a 3 finger. Basically the gap between the top of the tire and the bottom of the wheel well is 2 fingers front and 3 fingers in the back. Such as below:

Do you know anyone that has the custom fog lights? I f***** the fender by doing a really sharp corner at about 40 with rear rims that popped out from the fender lol... You really can't tell in the pictures



The things you do when you are 18 years old lol

Just get coilovers and you can set the ride and height exactly where you want and make sure the rear is not lower. I hate that too, looks like crap IMO.
