That setup sounds pretty good. Should give you pretty decent performance without dropping the car much, which it sounds like that's what you're after.

You'll eventually have to deal with speedbumps and steep driveways if you drop your car lower.

Either way though, good luck!

I've got a set of Tein H-Tech's for sale if you're interested. PM me

I just went full coils, felt much better than the springs on stock struts

Bilstein HD shocks and 350Z H-techs should be a sweet setup in the drop range your looking for.

The Tein 350Z H-Techs will lower your front 1" and the back slightly less. This way your exhaust won't hit if you back into a curb, it just clears. I ran Bilsteins for 30K miles and they began to squeek so I replaced them with Tokico D specs, both good shocks....Gary
