the lowest that I think you can get with a spring/strut set is eibach sportlines and either tokico or koni adjustables. As far as coil-overs I would say Apex or Tein. I have sportline springs and tockico blues on my car and I don't have any problem bottoming out.

sportlines are lower than prokits
u can get sprint springs maybe those are usually low but i hear of sagging and quality issues?

u can also find some really shitty springs if u look hard enough that drop like 2 to 3" inches but IMO thats not really good for the car.

i would agree on Tein, but not B&G. EVERYONE i know that has used them (AUDI?VW and Nissan) have had problems with it.

check out www.motivational.net He specializes in Nissan suspensions. they are pricey, but really worth it. shortened dampers with threads on the body I believe. No threaded slip like Ground control.

alot of people like the GC/AGX setup. May want to check into that as well. At least the AGX dampers are externally adjustable, unlike the ones you have to remove to adjust.

Be careful with eibach Pro-kits and sportlines. check out the spring rate and compare it to OEM. If they are softer, may not be a good idea. Shorter and softer = bottoming out.

Motivational has NOT gone out of business. I talked to Mike on tuesday. He is still very much open.
