If you are talking about a shock, there will be no drop.

For the money, the Tokico D-Spec is a great shock. I would match them up with a set of Eibach Sportline, or Pro Kit springs, depending on how much of a drop you want. Great combination IMO.

I had the springs for testing, ran them with Koni's. They are a 1" drop. IMO, they would be a much better choice to run with D-spec shocks vs the Koni's I teamed them with since you can make the D-spec shocks stiffer vs Koni's that adjust for rebound only. I have driven in 2 G35's that I helped install D-spec shocks on. I would not run them with the D-spec springs at any setting that is lower then 5 turn's off of full soft.
----------------------------------------------------
Tokico D-spec shock & spring package 350Z - DSK512
Spring rates in LBS 375f/375r - Linear Springs 1"/1"

Eibach 350Z progressive springs 1”/1” drop
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 296/384 initial/final rear 316/421

Eibach 350Z sportline progressive springs 1.2"/1.2" (notice the wide rate spreads)
Front: 239/400 Rear: 257/435


Peak rates may be slightly higher on the Eibachs, but the D-spec springs have the advantage because they do not have their compromise on performance by having to compress past the softer inital rates or experience sudden rate change. All 4 corners experience the same rate regardless of what your asking of the car, cornering, braking, acceleration, or spin recovery

I have the D-Specs with RSR Ti2000 springs - great combo on the street and circuit.
