Matching Tokico HPs to Z/coupe springs
03 Sedan Sport
After tons of research, I think I'm close to nailing down how I want to do this but I'm unclear on some details.
The best, level ride height pics I've seen are cars with the Z/base G coupe combo, but most of those are relating to sport/non-sport and using the stock struts/shocks. If I'm replacing the struts/shocks with the HPs, what part numbers do I need? There appear to be separate listings for the Tokicos for Z/G coupe/G sedan. Do I match the new struts/shocks to the springs I'm using?
My goal is a slight lowering, fresh struts/shocks and hopefully more responsive handling without adding too much harshness. Firm is fun, but harsh is a beating for a daily driver, so I'm a little concerned about struts intended for a Z, but don't know if that'd be a real issue.
Thanks in advance for any light you guys might be able to shine on this mystery for me.

From what I understand, the valving between the Tokico G and Z shocks/struts is the same, it's the lenght of the piston shaft that changes (hence the different part number).
The Z shock/strut is about 1' shorter than the G.
When I ran the spring set-up you are using I just went with Tokico Z shocks/struts all around and was happy. The ride was firmer, but not harsh.
