Need opinion on Setup

I wanna pull the trigger and drop my G at least 1.5+ inches. Been looking at a bunch of different options and Im thinking about buying some Tanabe DF210 Lowering Springs and then picking up a pair of BC racing coilovers. This should allow me to drop my G a substantial amount with the option of adjusting the coilovers to a desired height. I will also need to pick up a camber kit. Would function tuned be able to install all of this as well?

I've heard from alot of people I could just buy tein 350z h-techs and BC racing coilovers but I wouldnt be as low as with the Tanabe's.

Added info: Im currently on the OEM sport suspension with OEM 19's.

Anyone else pretty slammed and have any opinions on the setup or what will work best. Just trying to get as much info as possible befor going forward.

Yes Dave can install the coilovers but why buy different springs.The springs for the bc setup are designed with the shocks that bc makes.You can lower the coilovers as low as you will ever need and the springs wont make a difference no matter what brand.

I think you have a misconception of what coilovers actually do as you can raise the ride height or slam the thing to the ground with coilovers.Springs on the other hand depending on how low you want to go all depend on the spring rate and height and really have nothing to do with the shocks.........except wear them out faster.

Ah, I was under the conception that you needed to buy springs as well as coilovers. Is it one or the other?

For example, Can I just buy BC racing coilovers and drop my G like 2 inches?
