Best 1" Drop???

Hey guys I just picked up some 20's for my 05 IP sedan and could stand to drop it about an inch or so. Any suggestions? Don't want to spend a ton cause ultimately I want Tein Basics so just something temporary to suffice.

Z springs lower a sedan approximately 1 inch and coupe springs lower approximately .5 inch.

Get the revised Z shocks and springs. I am very happy with mine. If you do not have the sport suspension and only swap out your springs the shocks will go pretty quickly. A local guy ran with regular shocks and z springs for a few months and just replaced them with my old sport shocks, his were toast. The 350z site is where I found mine. It cost the guy $87 to ship both the springs and shocks.
