How much of a stiffer ride you want will be up to you; I wanted a stiffer than stock ride. The drop is the best I've seen any spring set give.

The G and Z has almost the same weight so I'm not sure why the springs are sitting lower than specified. I'm afraid to say that my 1.8" drop measurement was only an eyeball guess. The drop is not that low. There's about a 1/4 inch gape between the top of the tires and the fender if you looked at it dead on. The drop could very be 1.0".

I like the clean look. that rear imho looks a bit too low vs front.
Your rear should be slightly higher than front if you want turnability,
not sure if that's what you were going for or not.

Do you have a stereo in the trunk?

edited for better explanation...

I installed these springs last week and so far.. i really like them

I also installed a rear spc camber kit (knew I'd need it) and cusco sways. Even with the camber kit my rear arms are at full adjustment and the alignment is just barely within spec.

edit: i just noticed your front end looks a slightly higher than mine. I'll have to post some pics
