Most spring/shock combos cannot be preassembled because they do not include the front top mounts. What you could do, however, is pick up a set of used front shocks and take the top mounts off them.
Just wanted to give you a heads up. Good luck

Megan Racing Coil-Over Dampers are the ultimate upgrade to your track or street car. Featuring 32 Levels of damper force adjustment, full-height adjustment, these damper kits are then perfectly matched with front and rear Pillow Ball upper mounts for camber correction in most applications.
The adjustment of the damper is as simple as can be with a built-in **** at the top of the damper mount for easy access. Simple adjustments can be made to tune to your style of driving and comfort level desired. Single-Adjustable dampers make suspension adjustments easy to tune whether you’re a professional mechanic or an automotive enthusiast with amateur mechanical skills.
The height adjustment is made easy with CNC-Machined locking perches for accuracy and smooth adjustment. You can raise your car up to factory height for OEM appearance with performance handling or you can drop your car all the way down for a formal racetrack and an aggressive stance lowering your center of gravity to gain full potential of your car’s handling capabilities.
On most applications, the Megan Racing Damper Kits come with fully adjustable Pillow-Ball upper mounts to easily tune and adjust your camber. Adjustable camber gives you an edge on most suspension setups, as you can easily tune your car for any ride height which improves handling, predictability and furthermore tire wear, which is a great benefit both on the racetrack and on the street.
The quality and durability of the Megan Racing Damper kits are unmatched. Made of extremely durable Steel and featuring springs that are constructed of SAE-9254 Cold-Wound Steel which are then tested over 500,000 times by compression inspection.

Of course, I would never recommend either spring to anyone who was trying for performance.

I've got the HKS Hypermax RS coilovers on my 06 and I love them. I'm dropped about about 3/4" in front and 1" in the back. The ride is suprisingly smooth and feels only slightly stiffer than stock.

I've had bad experience with lowering springs and aftermarket shocks. If the combination of spring rate and shock doesn't work hand in hand, you've got a suspension nightmare. I've been wanted to lower my Z lately with tax money. Debating on the tein S and the tein basics. So far I've heard nothing but good things about tein S and as for the tein basics, there is so much competition in that price range that it makes it hard to deciede to go with the basics.
I too, want added perfermance and comfort, performance first but comfort close. I've never really heard about Megan coilovers, but the adjustablity is very attractive.
Still, I'm undecieded.
