Default Help me deicde what springs to get?

So I've been looking into getting a set of springs for the Z and I've seen pix of Z's with the tein s.tech springs and the drop in the rear really doesn't do it for me........the drop in the front with the tein springs is good but I need more of a drop in the rear. What springs asides from eibach should I go with for more of a drop but no alignment issues? I've heard the tanabe springs drop the car quite a bit, but everyone I've talked to said tanabe springs are crap. I'm looking to spend around $300 or less. Thanks.

From experience, I am a Hotchkis believer. Drops about .7" only ones that definitly won't cause camber issues.

the only one i can think of is the eibach, but as for the tanabe i heard good things about it nothing really bad. there is a couple of guys on this fourm says they are pretty good, but hey? it's all you.

i am looking into getting some springs myself, but i am still researching. hope this reply helps any.

Any spring that drop more than 0.8 inches will most likely have alignment issues.

If you want to drop very low with very good performance go with H&R. Nothing beats H&R on performance.

Regarding Tanabe, I didn't heard bad thing about their springs.

But again anything more than 0.8 inches, you will be taking your chance.
