350z, etc Suspension Height

I'm currently running Eibach springs on my sedan;
After about 7,500 miles they have settled to > 1.5" of drop.
I love the look but... It has become a pain on speed bumps & driveways.
I was thinking of changing to a 350Z suspension which should be a little higher, but I haven't found much in the way of actual numbers.

I was wondering if anyone has info on various suspension options. It might be usefull to others if we had a list such as:

SEDAN - drop options from stock
1. Coupe suspension - x"
2. 350X standard suspension - x"
3. 350X track suspension - x"
4. Eibach - + 1.5" (after settling)
5.Tein

COUPE - drop options from stock
1. 350X standard suspension - x"
2. 350X track suspension - x"
3. Eibach - + 1.5" (after settling)
4.Tein
5. .....

etc....

HKS & Y-pipe, Z-tube, Eibach, 35%Tints</font color=blue>

Which teins? The Tein H? Or the Tein S? I assume the Tein H, right? Maybe you guys can help me with something...I have a 04.5 sedan 6mt, and I bought Vogtland springs for the 350z. These springs lower the 350z 30mm(about 1 1/4). My concern is by what I have read is the 350z setuo in a sedan lowers it about 1" so will I get 2 1/4 drop if I install these? And what would you guys think I would most likely need for camber? Would I need front and rear?? Thanks

Also, I plan to go with 20s, will I have major problems with the above setup with clearance? what about the Tein S kit, can I do 20s with those without issues? Thanks
