another good spring is the RS*R down springs. They dont lower your car as much as eibach (.6 instead of 1.0) and they are linear. Not progressive.

the Eibachs would probably give u a better ride quality but the RS*R will probably give you better performance. I have the RS*R and they do help the ride quality some and also improve handeling

Theres lots of info out there on this topic so make sure to do a search as you might find some info not covered in this thread. I thought about the RS-R's too as I've heard great things about them. But in the end I went with the Tein S-Techs, primarily because my Z is mainly a street car and will see limited track use. S-Tech is also progressive, doesn't lower as much as Eibach's, and is less expensive than both Eibach and RS-R. Just found out that my car is in the Volk wheel gallery so you can check it out to see what the drop looks like.
