which Springs give appox 1 inch drop for coupe

I have 19ins performance package, what's a good set of spring that gives enough amount of drop and WITHOUT hurting the shocks? 350z springs only give .5 inches

Eibach Lowering Springs?
Tein S.Tech Springs?
Others?

I don't want too low, just enough to make the car looks nice, thx.

^+1
same, i'd get the 350z oem's since they seem to be the easiest alternative to the stock package, but looking for a more aggressive look, and something that won't break the bank too much..

or, what the hell, maybe ill just throw down a few c's and get a complete coilover setup.. suggestions?

I had the 350z OEM springs on my 04 coupe. Nice drop with a nice feel. Really kept the suspension feeling stock.

is there any addiction parts besides the 4 springs? What rating are they? 314/427? because that's what 19in stock springs have

im personally looking at the eiback pro-kit. its about a 1" drop all around. the tein s-techs are a little lower and the h-techs are about .5".

Glad you posted this. I am in the same boat and looking to do something in the next couple weeks. Looking for 1" drop and still have a decent ride.

what i worry about the most is my shocks!!!! i want them to last, for at least 5 more years. I heard Tein S is right one for 1 inch drop, Eibach is too much drop.

I am running 19in sport suspension shock.
