Also I'm not too sure how beefy the OEM Nismo struts are, but if you lower it too much you will prematurely wear out the struts.

Finding a decent set of coilovers that don't offer to harsh of a ride may be the best way to go. In terms of 370Z parts, I'm no expert as I'm new to the Z myself coming from an S-chassis world. I ran Eibach prokit springs on my S14 and was pleased with them, although if you're looking to slam your car to the ground you'd have to go with a different spring. But really, be nice to her and don't slam her into anything

Paint code should be able to be found in the door. Many people like the Stillen Gen 3 intake and I believe it can be used on the Nismo (correct me if I'm wrong anyone).
On the Z Store website, there is a Nismo spring and strut kit available but I'm not sure if it is different from the stock Nismo kit (I believe it is the same). Anyone Nismo owners here lowered their car with aftermarket springs? If so, what springs/struts are you using?

As far as painting the door handles, I plan on getting the Pearl White paint but I want to paint my handles the black color everyone has been using. Where can I find that paint code?

Thanks!
