there is no BEST of anything.

cheapest option is Z springs for $50 and then spend $600 on camber kits. this is assuming you know how to wrench and not pay $200-$350 to install. Coilovers start at $800 but you still need camber kits.

springs like EVERY car on the market will run you $100-250 pending on what brand/drop.

to do things the RIGHT way you would need to spend about $900 if your not doing anything yourself. Cheapest route is Z springs/struts for $100, $600 SPC camber kit for front and rear. $300 for install and alignment. This way you wont write back to us 5k miles later saying you need tires because of the drop.

My numbers are out of my butt but somewhat realistic. I do my own work, i wait for deals and i know what needs to be done. So my cost will be less then someone who wants it done now. this is my BEST words of advice to you. This will the BEST Route to go and overall the CHEAPEST route in the long run.

Come on You have been a member here for 2 years and you ask this kind of question? Did you even look around and do some research?

I will reluctantly help you because you seem to be one of the young un's that doesn't know any better yet. Check out this thread as a starting point to learn more about drops.

I did 350Z set-up and have made ZERO adustments to camber and have gone over 100k with my set-up. rotate tires every 7k and you will be golden.

Its very easy. Just go on to the marketplace and click on (05 350z revised springs) and purchase those. It will give you a nice set up.

I also have z springs (revised) and am well within coupe specs. No camber kit for me. I would like a little lower, but the cost of new springs and camber kits for .5-1 inch are not worth it to me. Unlike some my car came out pretty level, not as low in the rear as some I have seen on here so it looks more level.

This depends on how much you want to compromise the front end of your car (scraps and gashes) or how bad *** you want to look.

Goes both ways, drive super slow on inclines and look awesome or drive a little faster on inclines and look aight.

how low do you want to go?

I think you can go about 1.5" and get by with just a rear camber kit

so, h&r's with a rear camber kit.

I have 350z revised suspension setup. I like it. I might drop it another .5" or so

Well, idk about the 350z kit, but the G kit is pretty similar to G springs
