I want to lower my Z. I would like to lower the car so that it sits right above the tires (I have 19's) almost like the M3 look. I dont want the tires to tuck or anything. My guess would be 1'' in the front, and 1.25 in the rear. Now my question is, what springs would you recommend to getting the look I want, but ALSO keeping the same stiffness as stock. What is the coil rate of the stock springs?, and which aftermarket springs come the closest to it. I DONT want to be bouncing all over the place like a riced out civic. I would like to keep the feel as close to stock as possible, just getting the lowered look.
Please help, Ive asked this question a few times.. but never got any responses.

I've experienced the ride of the Tanabe GF and NF springs and they are fantastic. The Tein S-Tech are great springs but do not handle as well as the tanabe's imo. I have yet to drive/ride in a set of Eibach Springs

I 100% love my new tanabe GF210's. handling is awesome, drop is perfect. I hear the eibach's are kinda soft. Plus I actually think the GF210's even ride a little better, even though they are stiffer.

i dont know much about springs, but i do know that i need atleast a 1 inch drop. a slightly lower drop in the front is ok. and the ride comfort can not get any worse. it has to be like stock or slightly better.
which would be the best way to go?
