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.

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.
