hi so ive decided to skip the lip kit i had in mind. and just lower it and get the paint job i want.but there are soo many springs out there i dont know what to chooose.just want to do the springs, none of the extra components, and i understand this could mean possible faster tire ware. i had my last car lowered 02 mitsubishi spyder, with tein, and never had any problems.heres a few im looking at. they each vary in drop length.im really feeling the megan springs as it lowers to 1.25" i feel thats perfect :

You are in canada... go out to the front of your car and measure its clearance before being lowered... if it was lowered that 1.25" your liking, would it be a snow plow in your area?

Megan it is!If youve got the wallet for it, coilovers will get you lower, but if not, its still all good, its not like the Z has a big wheel gap to begin with.

The AC's dont have a real following for coilovers as of yet bc there isnt really a quality set available... go back into the Z section and ask those guys, its a harsher ride, but you can get down lower without question!
