Drop on stock 17's?

I have the stock '04 17's and i cant find ANY posts with 17's. Im wanting to give it a big drop. Figured as close to 2 inches as possible will fill in the gaps. So I could use Tanabe for a big drop? I am kinda confused on all the springs and their rates. Id like a decent ride but im going for a good look mostly. I think that if you get 350z springs they ride stiffer than the G35 AND give you the additional 1/2 inch drop? What would you suggest? I will be getting bigger rims and coilovers EVENTUALLY. Thanks for the help.

I just realized that I didnt specify I was looking into ANY springs, not just OEM. but this will only be a little over an inch drop, right? But the positive about them is the better ride? I see that the Tanabe DF area great drop.

If you want a nice ride and a 1" drop look into G35 STechs or Tanabe

the 350z STechs give you a nice drop but the ride is stiffer than OEM

Well, the 350z STech will give about 1.5" drop right? What would be better for a 2" drop? and if i find two differnt springs (with same drop) but one was for g35 and other was for 350z, would the 350z always be stiffer?

im not sure if there are springs that give you a 2" drop... Tein springs for the 350z will be stiffer than Tein G35 Springs.. other brands im not sure, i never researched

If you want a 2" drop, get some Tanabe GF210s with worn shocks
