uneven drop, what springs to get for fronts?

Hey guys i am dropped on 350z tanabe NF210, and i still want to go lower in the fronts. the drop is about 2.2 inches. The front still has a 2 finger wheel gap. I like the rears, so i just want to swap out my fronts? what type of springs should i get?

You do know that the rear fenderwell is typically lower than the front?

also, make sure you are on a perfectly flat and even surface. best place to check is like inside a body shop or that type of facility or when you get your alignment done.

if you're still not satisfied, go w/ coilovers!

I went straight to coilovers cause I knew I would be messin with the drop height. Just save and get the coils..then you will have the perfect drop and new shocks/struts too.

COILOVERS!!! only way to go to satisfy your lowering needs.LOL

i hate it when the rears of cars are lower than the front, hence the sedan, or those e36 beemers...looks weird.but it is in fact even.making it look uneven.

they are pricey but just think, you'll have a completely new suspension system, well new struts and springs, that are designed to work together.
