I am looking to lower mine as well, I need to go to someone that is trustworthy.

Can anyone recommend a set of good springs as well?

i can do springs or any other suspension stuff you may need installed. i am new to the Z forums as i don't actually have a Z (lady friend does though, and i've been helping her out). i do work on peoples evos all the time and i have people who will vouch for my work. i'm not your run of the mill mechanic, i am an engineer who does automotive stuff on the side. much of my experince comes from designing/building this car from scratch:

but like i said i do all work including custom fab on evos (but not limited there). i live in arlington and i do all my work out of my garage. i don't have a waiting list, so i can get to your car right away and i can do it while you wait, you can watch if you want and some people like to help out as well. i offer extremely good prices as i can get most stuff done much quicker then shop and i have no overhead (although i'm in the process of becoming a LLC). if your interested or have questions, fire away! pm me too if you want.

Suspension is suspension on just about all cars. You can go to any reputable shop to have it done (i.e. SGP, Carboy, Racing Evolution, etc.). After you get your suspension (springs or shocks or both), get an alignment so you don't ruin your tires. Southwest Alignment on Beverly Hill (runs parrallel to richmond) between hillcroft and fountainview, is a good shop. They even warranty their alignment for 6 months - 1 year....even on dropped cars.

SW Alignment is on Richmond now, they moved. Forgot the cross street but it is after Gessner if you are coming from Beltway 8 on Richmond, the new place is on your left. As for drops, did you go w/ springs or coilovers Tim?

I am still trying to learn what setup would be best for my new baby, What do you guys recommend to give her a good lowered stance and still have the great handling? I was looking at just some springs, but I have my eyes on some coilovers as well. If i go with coilovers would i have to replace anyting else? Any suggestions from some fellow houstonian Z owners would be great.
