Default Coilover suggestions?

Im not looking the slam my car to the ground, just so the finder covers about half the tire. Im getting 19s soon so i want to drop the Z aswell. I dont do track, sometimes the occasional drift here and there but mainly street use. My budget is around $600(i can pay more if they are worth it) I would also like a smooth ride.
Thanks~

Cover half the tire, double your budget so you can grab a cheap set of crappy stance coilovers. They will let you slam your car, covering your tire is slamming , considering it would be over a 2 inch drop.

Coilovers for 600$........try going on eBay, they have some shiny gold ones for 500$, they're within your budget. There aren't ANY coilovers in your range dude, think.about springs.

since you're budget is so low i suggest getting a shock/spring combo.. even the low end coilovers start around $850-900.

Exclamation Cheap Coilover Suggestions?

I want to buy a suspension product that will slam a 03-05 350z but not burn my wallet.
Its for looks more over performance. The cheaper the better.
Any suggestions on what i should get? considering stance/bc/tein coilovers but more money is going one tuning and performance than anything else and i wouldnt mind saving a couple hundred bucks.

I've seen people get pretty low on function an form type 2s. From what I've heard they go lower than BCs and tiens right out of the box. And the cheap eBay stuff will bottom out without tuckin a wheel.

Tuning and performance, something like a KW V3 would we what you want. You don't want some BC or Megan crap that you can't possibly tune and suck for performance

Arent you the "im gonna blow you" or whatever thread guy.....

Does this mean you decided on a colour scheme and went out and bought your z? If you keep going like this ur gonna have a garage full of mods and no z. usually z comes first then the mod bug.
