Default Drop roughly 1' with my Z

I would like to know if I drop 1' or less, should I just get the springs or the whole coilover?

You mentioned in another thread you what your mainly after is just a drop for looks.

Based on that pickup a set of Tanabe GF210's or Eibach Prokit springs. Both will do what you want with oem shocks and at a respectable price. No one can tell you to get coilovers for a 1" drop where looks is what your after, can't even suggest aftermarket shocks. Get the springs and move on to the next thing about the car you'd like to change.

1' is a pretty low drop...you'll probably be scraping everything.

1' and 1" are a big difference, I was just joking about the thread title. I'm also dropped with the Tokico springs/shocks...what do you have your shocks set at?
