man those springs are going to slam your car to the ground. Might look like one of those civics with cut springs. I have sprints in the front and those are pretty low for me.
Have never seen these

Pretty low like too low? I have some Sprints that I haven't put on yet, but I don't want speedbump issues and such, I'll sell 'em and get something on the order of 1.5" if necessary, but I couldn't pass up the deal. Did you have camber issues as well?

don't about where you guys live at, but around here stock height is too low for speed bumps.
I have scraped my car on them several times, even when driving the posted speed limit.

well yea 3 is kinda close but hes got some coilovers with like 10 differant positions but his car is ALWAYS really low , low enough that alot of regular bumps in the street make his muffler hit the ground
how much do mechanics and **** charge for putting on lowering springs and struts , i wont be able to do it unless i got some good supervision ^.^

So, has the Drop Zone springs for 3rd gen been put to rest because it doesn't exist. Let's face it, when it comes to aftermarket springs it's either Suspension Tech's, Eibach's, Sprint's or Intrax. Unless you pay dollars and have some custom springs wound. Don't waste your time ordering DZ's from that site, been there done that. Just a friendly suggestion

I have sprint springs with tokico struts. I love it. I rarely have ground clearance problems. Sometimes sprint springs aren't consistent with the drop (i.e. it's lower in the rear than the front) and sometimes the drop is perfect. I got lucky because my car looks pretty level.
I would recommend intrax or eibach. Intrax looks better (in my opinion) and is very consistent. Eibach is a little better for handling and probably won't wear out your struts as fast because it's less of a drop. For struts, I would recommend at least tokikos but if you have the money get the koni's.

the stockers aren't designed to handle any lowering

Yeah, second that IAM. It's common knowledge throughout the REST of the import performance world that Nissans of our vintage have hardly any suspension travel in the stock struts. What that means to you is this: say you lower the car 1.8 inches on stock struts. Well the stock struts may only have 2.5-3.0 inches of travel(compression). (those measurements are a guess.) Well when you hit a big bump, or take a turn very hard, the front susp. flexes through it's normal travel(2.5-3.0"). But the car's been lowerd 1.8", so there's only 2.1 inches of travel left. So the shcok/strut bottoms out internally, and breaks the foot valve inside and it's bounce-o-rama time. So, to summarize: the stock struts will bottom out and blow if lowered.
P.S. - I actually blew my L/F Tokico cornering in a funky situation one time.
