Planning to drop my Z, any suggestions?
I want to drop my Z but I would like for the front to be a bit more dropped then the back so it can have that inclined look. I'm not sure where I should get the springs because most of them are even or the back is lower. Any suggestions, links maybe? And if I do drop it, will I need a camber kit???
This is my first post so please help me out on this one guys!
Thanks!

3/4" drop with just springs, right? I wanted to drop too, but didn't want to spend too much on coilovers.. although I did hear that you need them if you don't want to have camber issues/wear out tires.. but that's if you go lower than an inch, right? so i'm assuming 3/4" is okay with just springs..
So, I should go with 3/4" in the front only? Or will that be 3/4" in the front and back? Remember guys, I would like the front to be lower, if possible. And will I need shocks as well??? To many things! Arghhh!!!
I think I can buy some decent springs on ebay, don't you guys think so???

OP Just go with Eibach springs if you can't afford now the $$$ for coiloverZ. Why are you trying to make the Z look like a cuate bomb with the aZZ in the air and the front end dragging on the asphalt.

To the OP, don't hack your suspension or you'll end up regretting it: compromised handling, poor ride comfort, premature wear on the dampeners. Do you just want the drop in the front for the looks? From what I can tell, most people report destroying their stock shocks very quickly after a spring change, even with modest drop. So, you won't save much by just doing the springs because you'll be buying shocks shortly thereafter and paying for double alignment and installation.
Generally, springs have to be matched to dampeners in order for them to work correctly. Stock shocks are matched to stock springs. If you change the springs, you change the balance which will most likely result in poor dynamics. Suspension is a complicated science so take your time and do it right. And by doing it right, I don't mean just buying coilovers. Be prepared to deal with things like camber and toe which will change once you alter the stock setup. Stock setup has very limited set of adjustments so you'll probably have to factor in additional parts to account for that.
