I guess the question is....how low do you want to go? less than 1"? more than 1"? Also, what kind of driving will you be doing? Track? Daily Driving? There's not one lowering spring out there that is the best. It really depends on what application you need it for. If you track it, you might as well go for coilovers.

quick question before i buy springs, i'm thinking about the s-tech myself but was told that i'm better off buying a full suspension because springs will not make the ride smoother as opposed to a full suspension kit. Didn't want to spend over 1k on suspension but wonders now if springs are bad for our z?

I'll let you know about the tein S-tek as I have just had them installed on my car. But have not had too much opportunity to drive yet. I kept the shocks OE for the time being. The Tein only drop the car by 0.6-0.7, so in theory, whell alignment should not be an isue, I hope.

my opinion of "best" isn't the same as your "best" or the next guy's.
