How was it raised? If there's a coil spring spacer in there take it out. Otherwise, get lowering springs with a mild drop.

DO NOT INSTALL COIL SPRING LOCKS!!!

You want it dropped a little more in the front?

Install 350Z H-tech's in the front =.3" front drop (do not worry about installing the kits rear springs if you don't want a rear drop)

No they are just bad for all cars, they are the beyond ghetto way of lowering your car.
