Default Need help deciding on springs

Im currently running 19x9.5 up front with 245 tires and 19x10.5 in back with 275 series tires. View my cardomain link to see the car. Please help me decide on a good set of springs to give my car a more aggressive look. I've been looking at H&R's (1.5 inch drop all around) and Tein S-tech's (0.7 drop front and 0.6 drop rear). Any other suggestions for good spring set ups will be appreciated. Please list the spring set you advise and why.

I've heard good things about the RS*R lowering springs - but they are only a .6 drop all around. If you are looking for a slight drop, that might meet your needs...

Hotchkis has my vote too. Why you ask.. because thats what I have. kidding. I like them because they werent to expensive, my car feels way better with them now, no more rear bounce, near .75 inch drop rear and just a tad less in the front. I like the look of an even drop. Stech as well as some other springs lower the front more than the rear, I dont like that. Also ive heard if you go 1 ich drop or more you could be asking for problems with alignment unless you spend alot of cash on camber kits and all sorts of other stuff. I dont scrape anywhere with only a 3/4 inch drop but it gives the Z a bad azz stance in my opinion. Just my opinion guys, no flame throwers please. lol haha BEN
