Hey guys--

I did some searching, but was hoping that there would be some new voices that would chime in. I'm looking to throw some coilovers on my Z in the near future.

I'm looking for minimal drop-- I'm not a fan of the slammed look. Probably less than an inch, but I will consider other options if they are deemed better. I believe that at less than an inch of lowering, I shouldn't need a camber kit or anything, is this correct?

Anyways, I'm looking for something that will be stiffer than stock. I've noticed in my time driving my Z that the car handles well due to body stiffness, but the suspension is very soft. I would like to rein in some of that response, but without stepping up to the level of a jaw-jarring ride.

Something like the KW Var 3's would be too soft in my mind, but I'm not looking for something track oriented either.

Thanks!
