yeah I want a very slight drop. Just enough to compensate a little for the wheel gap in the rear. Hell I would be fine if the front wasn't dropped at all. I don't want to be scared of speed bumps as I've stated before

I was in the same boat as you...now keep in mind I still have the stock wheels and have only had mine on a few weeks. Hotchkis supposedly drop more in rear than front. Some report more "settling" over time, but I noticed the drop in the front but not the rear. If you like the front where it's at, you might consider cutting the rear spring isolator...there is a thread on it somewhere.

Anyone have trouble aligning it to spec?

Not a Z, but I can tell you they ride great in daily driving. They work great in autox too. My first set of linear springs, but I'm liking them so far, after about a year or so.
