Best setup would be coilovers. A bit pricey but well worth the money. You can lower as much as you want and it saves you the hassle of buying shocks seperately because it already has springs and shocks built together.

yeah the price you would pay for a new set of springs and shocks, might as well go coilovers.

Which Teins were you looking at? The 350z s-techs drop it pretty low.

The Tanabe DF210 will also drop it pretty low.

buy coils! im lowered on springs and now im starting to regret not buying coils, better adjustability for a sicker stance. but if your set on springs i can say my eibach pro-kit is great, ride isnt to stiff and wheel gaps are almost gone and if u want lower then go with the eibach sportline springs.

BC coilovers here and my rears are set as high as they go and im almost tucking tire, could go way lower on front and rear

Whatever you get make sure its adjustable dampening

if you're on a budget, I would go with the Tein Basics. I was able to find them used for 500 and you can adjust them to whatever height you want. I wouldn't suggest dropping the car too low or else you have to get the front and rear camber kits.

Get camber kits either way, these cars have aggressive camber to begin with... I still have to pick up the front camber kit
