So I'm running a 2006 350z suspension on my sedan, which lowers it around 1" all around.

With my 19" rims I want to drop it an additional 1/2" or so.

Since I havce the 350z shocks, I would like to pair it with a good set aftermarket springs that are for the 350z so that the dampening rate is closer to the same AND for the lower movement due to the shorter shocks of the 350z.

What springs will achieve a drop close to this range and are a good fit for the 342/427 dampening rates of the Z suspsension?

i think the S-techs (tein) are around -0.4 to -0.7 inches..... if you ask me though, i think your current stance looks great.

Hotchkis lowering sport coil springs...front lowered 9/16" & rear 3/4" drop.

This would be my choice if I ever decide to do it!

Why does it lower the rear more with hotchkis? I don't like that idea. If anything, I would want to lower the front a little more than the rear.

I need to take a few more pics of my car so you can see what I've got.

Right now I'm running 245.35.19 on all 4 corners, so there is a little more wheel gap then that picture.
