Nissan 350z Coilovers
So I am looking at buying some coilovers for my 2006 Nissan 350z and I am looking for some ideas. I want to keep the ride quality pretty similar and just wanna be able to lower it, does anyone have any suggestions?

BC racings are pretty good. They have plenty of options I would start with BRs though. I got some BRs that keeps the bucket spring but they also have a true rear coilover option. Keep in mind if you lower your car you may need more aftermarket parts to fix your alignment. I had to get a toe bolt for the rear and camber arms. For the front I needed to get adjustable upper control arms

If you want the ride quality to remain close to the stock setup, then just go with some modest drop springs on Bilstein B6s. I think the RSR Down Sus set is a good option, but that's just my opinion. True coilovers can be tricky to setup properly and could end up destroying ride comfort. For daily/street use they are not worth the added cost & hassle. If you really want them though, there are a lot of affordable options out there from BC and Tein. I've never messed with either brand before so I can't comment, but based on reviews both seem to be good for the price.

Whatever you do, for the sake of sweet baby buy something from a quality manufacturer and plan on spending over $1k to $1500 minimum … do it nice or do it twice!!!
The absolute minimum should be BC Racing’s BR-Series, or Fortune Auto 500 series

One thing i would say stay away from the TEIN basis coilovers. Especially if you want to go real slow. The rears really dont have much adjustment. Some lowering springs with a good combo shock would be better for comfort.

I think he's gone. Like most of the kids that post here, don't get the answer they want and they bail.
