I'm using stock OEM components. ^_^;

If I did upgrade later, I was thinking about the S-Tune coilovers or the Tein Flex coilovers. Then Stillen sways. Not sure about the strut tower braces as I need to do more research on them.

But this is very far away or not even possible. I'm still waffling wether I should save up for a GT-R. :P

Stock but want to drop it about .75. I think I read you can replace ours with OEM 350Z's and that will give you .5-.75 drop. Has anyone done this or does anybody know if that is correct?

I put Espelir active gt springs on mine and got about 1/2" drop all around. Ride nice too. Also put in the Tokico dspecs and 350evo sways front and rear.

Depends on what I'm testing at the moment.

03 350Z shocks and springs with Cusco sways
great aggresive shocks, but they are also way WAY to great and bounce and porposing 24-7

oem shock with Tein 350Z H-techs
nice drop, didn't quite live up the the spring rate specs for some reason

Sold the Cusco sway's, front Hotchkis rear EVO350

Custom Koni coilover front 448lbs Koni rear shocks, tried 3 different spring combo's in the rear 375lbs, 427lbs and 342lbs
Still trying to figure out how to get more bump travel, but they were still a whole lot better behaved then the Megan coilovers I have on now.

Koni shocks with Tokico D-spec 350Z springs
More foregiving then the combo above (375/375 spring rates) but will more drop then above, simply not enough bump travel, would be really great if the springs were just a little taller

Megan Racing coilovers.
Nice specs that poor valving makes meaningless. They come with 560/448 and I'm running them 448/427, still not a plesant experience.

What I'm thinking of going to. Tc Kline shocks with my Koni coilover parts.
