Thank you.
And I had coils on my G-Coupe... HKS Hipermax III Sports. Sadly they stayed behind on my totaled Coupe, but got credited a reasonable price for them. But they were pretty damn stiff (671/615)... not going back to that on a DD. And yea, ideally coils would be the best route. But I'm on a strict budget for now.

Yeah, there are some coils out there that have less "aggressive" spring rates.
The Tien Basics for example have a really nice ride, even when very low (although several members have mentioned that quality isn't quite up-to-par)
I'm sure once you decide to go that route, some of the suspension gurus around here could point you to the perfect coils.
That's one thing that's nice about the Coupe, Sedan and Z sharing suspension components... options FTW!
But I totally feel you on budgeting. That's the same reason I'm still on Z springs (well, that AND my driveway doesn't allow for moar low)
That's the thing about Z springs... people on here will still tell you to go lower and junk, but just having the car a little bit lower paired with clean paint and nice wheels will generate a surprising amount of complements in person.
^What is right? What is wrong?
These are the questions that plague man, that pit him, one against his brother.
For though there may be right, though there may be wrong, when one man decides the fate of another, by what rights is he right? ...or wrong?
By what rights is his fellow man wronged? ...or is he?
Be this the right of mankind; to go on righting wrongs?
Or be this the rite of mankind; to decide right and wrong?
For by the rights, I know not what to write,
whether right...
...or wrong.

Oh trust me, I know my suspensions. 
It's just the whole spring/shock (non-coilovers) combinations were confusing me at first. Since I'm coming over from the Coupe world, I rarely heard such discussions. I got most of it now though. Thanks for the help.

I had the hardest time finding the wheel weight for the 05-06 6MT wheels online, so I weighed one on a digital scale last night: 23.8lbs including the sensor. Just to be clear, this FAQ calls them the 18" 5 split spoke (05+ Sedan optional) Front & Rear: 18"x7.5" (+45mm) wheels.

Yea Ash, Getting harder to take the wife/kid out in the "fun car" so I figure a sedan will get them back onboard, and I'm pretty much done with Vader anyhow...look for the FS sooN!
