Default Nismo S-tune or Eibach pro springs with upgrade shocks

I was j/w what you guys would choose if you had to choose between the Nismo S-Tune suspension or the Eibach pro springs with some upgraded shocks. My current setup on my 04 Z is the full Nismo S-Tune Suspension with S-tune front and rear sway bars, but i want to drop the car alittle more then what it sits right now. I have a set of Eibach pro springs also thats sitting in my closet and was thnking about buying some upgraded shocks to go with them and sell the nismo or keep the nismo and sell the Eibach pros but idk what i should do. I do track my car and its my weekend driver. what would yall do if yall had to choose between those two options? Thanks yall

Is your S-tune setup in good condition? If so, you could sell it all and use that cash to buy some Koni Sport shocks or Tokico D-Spec shocks to go with the Pro-Kit springs. I'm running the Pro-Kit now with stock shocks and I'm also trying to figure out the best route. If I keep the pro-kit I'll get Koni Yellows. I might change to different springs and Koni Yellows.

My point in all my ramblings is that you should be fine either way you go, but if you're looking to go lower than the S-tune allows I think you have your answer.

If you're interested in selling the S-Tune, hit me with a PM price. I've been looking at that setup for a while. Shipped to 33548 (Tampa, FL area). Thanks.

I'm keeping S tune set up...only swaping out REAR SPRING for 1/2" lower and slightly softer springs. Fronts are fine. I think the rear springs on S tune (505lbs) are too stiff. I noticed rear wheels chirp a LOT (lose grip) off the line..not enough weight transfer (squat). Also..tail wants to go out on exiting turns with throttle application. Definite signs rear needs to be backed off a tad.
