While I truly did not get a singular answer, I was able, from the vast knowledge of the forum members to ascertain very selective choices. I have also learned that I should be ok with most of the recommendations.

It only proves the greatness of the 370z and the forum members.

Thank you

You're most welcome J. Yeah i agree with you, personally sometimes i felt lost too in this vast amount of knowledge lol and i did what you've done.

Good luck with your decision, either way, i'm sure you'll not regret it since all of the springs mentioned here is so damn good

Look, I haven't dropped my Z so take this for what it's worth:

Why couldn't you do adjustable coil overs and just adjust the drop to suit your taste? Seems like you could get that 15-20mm drop that you are after with a minimum of grief.

Considering what the OP said, he doesnt look like spending that sum of money for just a 15-20mm drop. plus he's not tracking his car so spring is just enough imo

plus, the oem shocks are included in what we paid for so for me i'll just change the springs first till the shocks are unusable. then i'll go for coils

YES they do. Like I said, it's only about 1/2 an inch, which isn't really a lot. Personally, I don't think it's worth the trouble since you won't really notice a difference in appearance. The Nismo springs also have a different spring rate though, so I would take that into consideration.

Do aftermarket sway bars like Tanabe really help more than stock sways? I hear that they are perfect for the street compared to stock, to stop body roll, and without changing ride quality.

yes indeed they do. mostly people goes with Hotchkis or Whiteline sways as they are adjustable. Stillen are also an option.

the reason why stock sways are not that good is because Nissan's trying to cut costs for the Z for it to be affordable, or else if all the parts are made with max quality i bet they'll probably charge as much as GT-Rs lol
