I just put Piaa Super Rozza 19's on my sedan and would like to lower it about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch no more than that. Could anyone tell me what springs would give me this result. All the springs I have looked at lower the car an inch or more, which I don't want. Any help would be great.

On my car I used the Eibach pro kit. While it did lower it about an inch all around, it looks good and doesn't have that slammed look.

Honestly, I hear people saying they want to drop their car 1/2 inch once in a while. I think their is absolutely no point to that, why spend time and money on a drop that will make ABSOLUTELY no difference.
I'm with shodog, dropped the car on Eibach Pro's, gives a nice subtle drop about an inch, smooth ride. Lowered the center of gravity for a little better handling. All in all I am very happy, still gotta be careful not to scrape the front on driveways, but that comes with the territory of a drop. But it's not like the car becomes slammed to the ground or anything.

losing it..

Shodog, your car looks awesome with the 1 inch drop, on other lowered sedans I hate the way the tires are leaning inward and I don't want that. Yours dosen't seem to have that problem. I have personally lowered 2 cars before, both drops were around 1 3/4". 1 car rode well the other ride was way too harsh. How does your car ride with the drop, please be totally honest. I really think I can get away with 3/4 inch drop especially in the rear. What size profile tires are yours mine are 40's. After seeing your car i'll probably go with the eibach's
thanks for the reply

Honestly I like the ride. The Eibachs are intially softer than the stock springs. This was a main sticking point with my wife had about lowering the car. she hates it when the ride is too stiff. Luckily it worked to my advantage. Some people don't like progressive springs so to each their own. I have had an 05 loaner w/sport for the last three days and I think the ride on it is way to harsh.

If your budget allows you may consider a set of adjustable coilovers. Then you'll have the ability to adjust the ride height however you like.
Coilovers Are Just Too Much Money, If I Didn't Just Spend $3200 On The Wheels And Tires It Would Be A Possibility. I Should Know More About Springs But I Don't What Does Progressive Springs Mean As Opposed To Non Progressive

Coupe springs = 1/2" drop
350Z springs = 1" drop
I went with the Z drop & love it.

the spring rates are the same as sedan sport suspension, except for the '05 Z rear springs.
If you go to my350z.com you'll find some used ones for less than $100
