don't be cheap, do it right the first time, it'll be cheaper in the long run.

unless you have some habitual fetish to keep paying for shocks.

cut your stock springs in half if you don't care about handling.

Do not try to lower the car more then 1.2" with lowering springs. Shock stroke is not ample on these car's and the oem bumpstops can't be cut and when the suspension run's into them, they aren't very forgiving. Their are some 1.5" drop springs on the market, they should not be run,...period. Not just because of handling, not just because of shock wear and tear, because you paid "or" are paying how much for your Z and you want to make it ride and drive like cr*p. Sorry, friends don't let friend's drive junk.

Find someone selling used coilovers that can get down like you want.
