Default Need some guidance for springs

Currently for my suspension I have Bilkstein b8 front and back with oem springs, I’m wanting to switch out the oem springs for something a little either a bit lower or same ride height, is it even worth to switch it out I’m just looking for a bit smoother of a ride mainly, any info helps thanks!

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!
