Sedan drop help pics

I own a 03 sedan, currently Im running 350z/coupe springs with 05 350z struts. I dont like my drop in the front I got about .9" with the 350z spring. I want to go little lower to make it look like the rear more, tucked. I was hoping to get some RSR 350z springs .6" front on a 350z so sedan I figure should be 1.5-1.6" now thats a good spring from what I read but Will this larger drop kills the ride quality of the car. Also what spring for the front will give me a 1.3-1.5" drop without killing the ride quality?? Maybe the g35 RSR springs would be better?Any input is welcome

here is a pic of the current drop im running 19", the rear settled in more now, but the front looks the same.

I would have gone with the TEIN S-techs. They give you a harder drop up front and guaranteed not to settle.

Tein springs are actually really good. It's their strut towers that suck. S Techs will give you the look you are looking for without coilovers. The front and the rear are even, and barely tucked under the fenders.

I was going to try H&R, should I go with the coupe or 350z springs?

G35 coupe RSR springs? No, bad idea because they are progressive springs and worse, aren't really any stiffer then the front Z springs, nothing their to help with the reduction in suspension travel range.

RSR 350Z linear springs .6”/.6”
Spring rates in LBS 345/417

RSR G35 coupe progressive springs 1”/1” (should be a 1.5"/1.5" sedan drop)
Spring rates in LBS 315/315

Tein 350Z H-tech's will do all that want. When I ran them as a test, they dropped the rear more then I liked so I installed spacers above the upper spring seats to suit my taste. You'll get a 1.3"/1.6" drop.
