Looking for a 1.5" drop, what springs should I go with?
I am planning to get the kinetix front a-arm and rear camber arm with the drop. I am going for looks not performance so I probably will not get sways, also my Z is daily driven but I don’t mind a ruff ride as long as it doesn’t get insane. 
I just need help picking out a set of springs to meet my needs, as I don’t know anything about them! TIA for any help!

Tanabe, They Are Great. Make Sure You Don't Lower The Profile On Your Tires, Or You Will Scrape Going Over Bumps. I Am Running 275/35/19's In The Rear With No Problems. (toyo T1r's) But I Ran Pirelli Assemetrico's 30 Series Originally, And Them Were Too Low.

I am going to drop it 1.5" on my stock track rims for now. I am running 225/45/18 in front and 255/45/18 in the rear. I am curious though, how would lowering your tread height make the tire rub? Wouldnt it make it rub less since there is less total diameter? Thanks for the sugestions!

I've got a G, and did not have to do anything....
Got mine via Performance Nissan.
Good-luck,

Progress Technology makes an exceptional set of performance springs for the Z and G Coupe. Manufacturer quoted drop is 1.2" front and rear, but we have seen 1.5" easily once installed on a Z.

I would not drop the car that much on just springs - it is a bit extreme. Lowest I am comfortable with is an Eibach level drop, which is about an inch - anything more and should be looking into coilovers
And yes, you will absolutely, without question need front a arms and the SPC rear camber kit to dial back into near stock camber levels and toe levels (rear)
