Low-cost lowering of coupe.
#16
the most cost effective way would be to just cut your stock springs.
since you have an 03 i see from your sig you could get a set of z springs that will lower about 3/4 of an inch. you could probably pick those up for like $50 they would be stiffer and shorter then what you have now. then you could cut those to make it even lower if you wanted.
if you want aftermarket the tein h tech will go about 3/4 of an inch. new they will run around 155. you can most likely find them cheaper used.
when buy tein springs though make sure to get the ones for the 350z because they are stiffer then stock. if you get the ones for the g35 they will be softer then stock.

when they do go out just buy someone elses stock shocks that they took off when either they went to coilovers or when they bought the tokico or the koni's

i know several people that have a lowered g for well over a year now and their shocks havent gone out.
your shocks are not goin to go out in a year just because the springs are shorter. they will over time but not in a year.
even if you are to buy someone elses used shocks and or springs it will still be a lot cheaper then buying new shocks or springs. i would rather buy someone's used shocks for 100 or less then pay 560 for tokico d specs or koni yellows. you would only need those if you are goin to track the car.
