The seat guy!

Ill help out since i made a dick comment on your seat thread, but you need to learn how to search my son.

Dont buy Megan springs, there is no point. If its a 1.2 drop all around you want, i would prefer the Tanabe NF210's over anything Megan. Plus springs are all around the same price anyway, so why go cheap?

However, the Z sits a little higher in the rear than front, so getting an even drop on springs f/r will keep this stance. If you want it leveled off, i would recommend Tanabe GF-210s. (1.0f / 1.2r), which will make it alittle better.

Lastly, Once you move past a .8" - 1" drop, your pretty much asking to blow your stock shocks out within a much shorter timeframe. I would upgrade if going an inch or below, just for good measure. Your also asking for rear camber/toe problems once you move past the above mentioned height, as well.

Its different on each Z, but your pushing your luck on needing some rear camber arms/toe bolts.

Gotcha... Im putting TOKICO HTS Adjustable Shocks & Struts soon, so Tanabe NF210's

245/40/18 is the right size for the front. It's about an inch short overall for the rear. 245/45/18 is the proper rear sizing. Tire size and wheel offset will determine how low you can ultimately go.
