I think it makes a difference in appearance, you can really tell when you are next to a stock 370Z, it's about 7/8 of an inch. I do have people that ask me if the car is lowered, so I think it is low enough where people have to ask.

Personally I think another 1/2 inch lower would be perfect, one reason I"m thinking of switching to coilovers. On the other hand I'm a bit concerned with scraping on speed bumps and driveways. As it stands now I rub the front chin spoiler and wheel wind deflectors quite a bit lately. The other night I scraped the exhaust pipes pretty good on this one driveway, even though I"m extremely careful and always go at an angle. I also notice some scrape marks on the flex pipes of my Nismo exhaust when I changed the oil a few weeks back.

i was afraid of that scraping already... which would get a lower drop the eibachs... or the tanabes? all i really want is an inch and 1/4 drop no lower.... is there any drop springs that just do a inch flat?

I don't know of any yet, I'm sure there will be some in that range though. I'm pretty happy with the ride quality of the Eibachs. I've had other Eibachs on previous vehicles and I think they did a great job with the spring rates on these. They work really good with the stock shocks. Your going to sacrifice a little ride quality, but not much. Here is a pic of my car after installing the SPC camber arms, this is with 20mm spacers in the rear and the camber brought more back to stock position.
The Eibachs will give you a slight neg camber when first installed. Link to thread:
