Default Spring reccomendation needed please?

After a long time researching what shocks to put on my 07 enthusiast, I've decided to go with the Bilstein HD shocks. My ride will me used for loner commutes and old like a smoother ride. Not looking to lower it much if any. Can you guys reccomendation me a set of springs that won't lower the car? Would I be crazy to put a set of OEM springs from the dealer on there?

I know the Bilstein HD's are out of the norm for a Z, but I don't have the need for coil overs. Thanks in advance for you thoughts.

Josh

Your stock springs should be perfect

I would stick with stock springs or go with Tein H-tech spings. The Tein springs will give you a minimal drop and ride well.

Why do you need new springs?

I agree. It does not sound like you would be happy with a little stiffer ride which the majority of aftermarket springs are going to provide. Also add in the cost of an alighment if the ride height is changed at all.

Guess I don't. I'am approaching 100K miles and thought I would replace them while I replace the shocks. I think sticking with the OEM ones would be the best thing with the Bilsteins.

Thanks guys.
