help me pick out some springs (350z spring owners!)

So I have been doing some reading, and I think I want to go with 350z springs due to the stiffer rate it will give me, but I am not sure what I want to go with, I read using 350 springs will put me a .5" lower than what they are rated at,
so right now I am kinda leaning towards the gf210's, but also thinking about the stechs. I dont want tooo stiff of a ride, but I deff dont like a cadillac ride, lol.
what are your guys opinions and thoughts, some pictures would be great too.


(sorry if this has been gone over before, I am new, and searched but I couldnt find the exact answers I was looking for)

thanks for your help!!

Im not that concerned with how perfect the height is, but if I can get it as close as I want by asking advice of forum members why not?
I have no real use for coilovers besides picking a ride height. so I dont see the need to drop that kinda money on them when I can be happy with 250.00 on some springs.
