Default Semi-new 07 350z owner

6 months ago i took the jump on this 07' w/ 37k miles for $18k. So far i've installed a k&n intake system and added the Volk racing SF Winnings in 19"x9.5 +13 front and 19"x10.5 +17 offset out back. My next step is to drop it. I have been leanning towards tanabe GF 210 springs, unless you guys have any other opinions?

I've ran the gf210 spring before with the spring mount mod and loved it.
It was a perfect even drop for both front and rear. People thought I was on coilovers b/c I was so low. Only thing I didn't like was the rear had 2 finger gap (maybe 1 and a half) but that my not be an issue for you.

GL, car looks great.

hard to give suggestions on a drop without knowing what you are looking for. You want springs or coils? How big of a drop? For springs if you don't want a big drop get swift springs. For coils depending on if you are on a budget or not there are so many to choose from.

edit: Preferably springs.^^

Your welcome and I completely understand what you mean. I like for my car to look clean and simple. Another question I had and you guys and gals that have done this already know this like the back of your hand. Since I plan on dropping the car what other parts do u guys recommend I have installed while their down there. spc bolt, shocks, bushings...ect?

The gf210 springs with the spring mount mod lowered me at ~1.5 rear and 1 inch front. I recommend front and rear camber kit when going one inch or lower.
