BTW: the way you put search as a brand of springs makes you an idiot and your attempt at being clever sucked ***. If you're going to try to be funny, i suggest you steal someone elses material, because frankly, you suck.
P.S. thank you to all the non-idiots who posted something helpful.

i thought this was pretty interesting.. im actually really trying to figure out what would give me a nice drop without taking away from the smooth ride from the Z.. Does putting bigger wheels or lowering it take away the smooth feeling? I was thinking of the Tein Flex system...

You said, "w/o hurting my sway bars", did you mean to say, without hurting my shocks? Either way that won't be a issue.
Do consider that as you get to .8" and lower drops tire wear can become a issue as most car's beyond that point aren't able to align within oem alignment specs.
