Budget - per se- isn't as much of an issue as appropriateness of expenditure. It's a 4 season 100,000 mile DD with another 25,k miles a year to be piled on. My current goal is to get another "quality" 2 years out of this refresh. (I’m just enjoying it so much that I don’t want to have to trade it out yet.)

I've elected to go with a set of Nismo springs (lightly used) from a member, along with my Eibach sways, new SPL end-links, new Stillen rotors/pads, new Michelin PSS.

Now looking for a reasonable set of dampers - which is frustratingly slim pickings.
from the read, nismo springs are going to raise ur ride especially da front. u are okay with dat?

in ur situation id go with mr.jar's suggestion and go with koni yellows only (add stiffer front sway bar if u havent already). leave everything else stock unless u have worn bushings.

from driving different cars, the Z's suspension has a tendency to wander around over rougher roads (toe changes as suspension compresses). good way to minimize is by controlling the damping by stiffening it up.. i'd just use stock springs in this case.

No, I was not aware that the ride height would change
