Need suggestions on lowered coils please.

Ok I'm looking to lower my car an inch to get rid of the last of the fender gap.
Would like some suggestions on coils that would drop me the 1in I am looking for.
Currently sitting on all revised 350Z suspension.
I am thinking Tein H techs or Eibach springs but do know much about the ride of either spring.
I am open to suggestions for other springs, would love coilovers but those are not in the budget at this time.

Here's a pic of the car now lmk what you guys think will drop it.

Because I figure with all the guys here I can get opinions on ride quality.
I don't want to buy crap springs and waste my money.

Don't waste your money on springs. Be patient, save until you have enough for coils, then pull the trigger. You will thank me down the road for this advice. I wish I had listened to it before I went through 3 different suspension set ups before finally getting my coils.

well if ur already dropped on OEM 350z springs, then you're already dropped about an inch, so you're looking for a spring w/a 2 drop. so either aftermrket coupe springs w/1.5" drop or aftermarket 350z springs w/1" drop, just something to keep in mind. honestly, if you plan on coils w/in the next yr or so then you should just wait. a 2" drop on springs will require aftermarket dampeners anyway, so not really "worth it" unless you plan on never getting coilsovers.

Thank You Tim and Mark for your feedback.

The only reason i was leaning the spring route was cause the car isn't a DD and is lucky to see 3-5k miles a year.
But I do understand do it once do it right.
With that being said what are a good set of coilovers????
I had been looking at the BC set but not sure if there are better alternatives.

Depends on your budget and what you want out of coils. I wanted a comfortable ride over heavy track use and slammage and went with the Tanabe Pro5s. I love them but they're def. not for everyone. BC seems to be a popular all around choice.

I'm not really into having a slammed car myself anymore. I love the look but I'm not in my twentys anymore driving a civic.
Just want a nice ride not to harsh this is a freeway/vacation car.
Was looking at the BC seems like nice stuff for the money.
I would like to spend a grand or less but less probably isn't going to be any good.

Then you might be a candidate for the Tanabes. I paid less than $1200 through b2autodesigns.
