If you want a drop I'd recommend stock Z springs or aftermarket G or Z springs.
coupe springs are shorter than sedan causing the drop.

^yup you get about 1/2" more of a drop on a sedan over a coupe with the same springs.

Anyways I seen pics and it looks good. I will attach photo to next form, I have to find them agian.... It's not a huge drop but good enough for when I get my 19inch wheels that I want. I'm also looking for the z tube and the newer stlye mid pipe on the coupe I believe and the hr y pipe. Thanks guys! Have a fun a safe Christmas and dont forget to buckle up! Alot crazy people out there in these sports cars doing donuts!.....lol
The HR Y Pipe is something I would like to do, too. That's a stock y-pipe available on all cars with the HR (2nd gen sedan or coupe, or 07+ z)

Yea, from what I understand there's a 1/2" drop between the sedan to coupe. But I think the Z springs are lower than G coupe springs.

That's interesting to go for g springs on one axle, and z springs on the other. But I know for the coupe, you can cut the rubber bump for the rear springs (separated coils and shocks) to effectively drop the car an extra 1/2" or so. I didn't do that for my springs, and my gap in the rear is slightly bigger.

Merry Christmas everyone! Today is my first of 5 doubles. Whew!

If you take I-4, it's a straight shot from LM. If you get off at either Lee Rd (exit 88) or Fairbanks (exit 87) you can get to the WPV. It's only a few exits past Altamonte. I would think it would take you less time to get there than to Waterford... but I don't know exactly where you live so idk.

At this point, we don't have anything set in stone and I have only heard 2 people interested in meeting tonight: Max and Chris. I have a TON of running around to do, and Waterford is going to be on the other side of town for me. I actually have to go to Altamonte right after work and then I'll be running the rest of my errands in WP. Ian has been extremely busy and I apologize to everyone for not being more organized this week. I'll blame it on the holidays. If you guys would rather just wait until the new year, we could try to have a big meet next week.
