Spring and Coils input

hey guys going to do springs for the winter then once the weathers gets nice, I will up grade to coils.. from what ive read so far i figured id either go with a 350z aftermarket spring for maximum drop or do a tanabe gf2. just looking for the lowest drop...

Any input on the best spring rates , and drops ? i might even buy coils and springs at the same time just dont want coils seeing all the salt mix that they salt the roads with this winter.

thanks in advance

S techs are an uneven drop.

I suggest tannabes, but if you want to go low get out your wallet and don't buy springs. It's a waste of time.

+1 on this, odds are your going to buy coilovers eventually anyways. no one is happy with springs forever.

Waste of money imo. Why buy springs, go through the process of installing them, paying for alignment to in a few months just undo all the work with the new coilovers and pay for another alignment?
