If you want a better ride I'd look into getting a set of OEM Nismo or HR springs

I have some Hotchkis springs matched up with my Bilsteins. A little drop and the ride is slightly stiffer, but the spring rates are pretty close to stock. Overall, a pretty comfortable ride with better handling.

Exactly what Heel said get the matched up Hotchkis springs that CZP is selling that go with the Bilsteins pretty much rides like stock but the handling is so much better and you should get a sweet drop that's perfect!
