Tein Basics are a pretty good setup for cheap, but no adjustable dampers.
I'd look into BC racing coilovers..full adjustability and just slightly more $$ than the basics.

theres actually someone selling them new for $1000 shipped

https://g35driver.com/forums/suspens...coilovers.html

I personally think its worth $170 more for the damper adjustability, especially if you do alot of street driving.

u can get slightly used basics for $500 if that interests u btw

I'm on BC coils and love them! $975 brand new shipped is what I paid. You can get the slam look AND still have a normal sport suspension style ride

If you don't care about performance, then basics sound right for you

but if you think the oem sport suspension is too stiff, you are not gonna like the basics.
OEM springrates are
Front:314 Rear:427
Tein basics are
504 front and rear

SO I'd get the BC's.
btw you will need good camber kits front/rear if you wanna slam your car

The BC's are stiffer in the front and softer in the rear than the basics, so not necessarily going to ride better

if you want slammed and your on sports suspension then just get some tein S-techs for the Z, it will lower you a lot and I think they're softer than your sports suspension...but you will still need a $$$ camber correction setup front and rear or you will eat up your tires very quickly like someone else said.

i normally wouldnt recommend that, but you stated the OEM is stiffer than you prefer and you didnt care about performance so there ya go.

if you go cheap on the camber setup with say a megan setup front and rear plus the tanabe springs you will probably come out right around $800, hell if you really want to go with all megan-racing parts because they make springs too.

Tein basics will only be height adjustable. And to me, they arent even THAT adjustable. BC coils will be height adjustable, and dampening adjustable with dampening adjustable extensions in the rear. If you wish with the BC coils, you can put the front of the car on the ground....if you wanna go that low. I am running the 12/10 spring rate setup and the ride is great and not even that stiff imo.

My BC coils are very comfy when set to their softest mode. They are also super stiff when set to the stiffest. The adjustable shocks are awesome!
