agreed. at the end of the day, it's your project. there is no "right path" since everyone has different tastes and opinions.

looking super clean right now.. keep it up.. from my own personal experience - i (lol) might look into a coilover setup versus springs... i had springs in an old car and they wore out pretty quickly and left my car bouncing all over the place (and looking/feeling retarded)... coilovers would be more cash, but then again - in most cases with modifying a car - you get what you pay for. Saving up for an extra couple weeks, month, whatever always makes it that much more worthwhile since you'll be getting something your stoked on, less chances of breaking, and gives you a chance to do more research and learn more in the end...

BUT - just my opinion... keep up with the project and keep us all updated on the progress

Its not springs that will cause the bouncing, it is the shocks being blown. A $600 set of D spec shocks will also be a hell of a lot better than any damper that comes with a coilover for under $1200. You can also get a set of Koni shocks for a little more that will be equal or better than shocks on coilovers well into the $2000 range.

Ya I saved for about 3 months for my wheels. Then saved up for my audio that I just installed. The car rides pretty smooth, not bouncy at all. It's actually pretty stiff. U "feel" every bump u go over.

Thanks I actually found another super black Z out here and left him a note to see if he wanted a wing. Well he did and we just swapped the whole hatch out, no holes that way
