Does the additional wt of TT or SC lower the front end of car?

I wouldn't worry about it. A passenger would have a greater effect on the weight.

The weight of a TT or SC (or its performance) will not affect stance. The stance may affect the performance available/useable by the TT or SC.

I agree with that 1000%. Not sure of the towing capacity of the Z, but it can't be anything big. A passenger used to make my S13 (CA18DET) feel significantly slower.

If you do it right you could see a traction / cornering power increase from coilovers and/or spacers, but I would think that you would have to do some calculations after making some test runs with your driving style.
