Hockey, that's a 1" gap all around with the Koni Yellows on the lower of the 2 setting in back, right?
My Eibachs always sat too high in the rear with stock shocks.
Koni Yellows have a lot more dampening than the stock shocks.

When I swapped out the OEM for Koni, I decided to keep it the same height and not go the extra .5" that the lower perch offers.
IDK, the drop is very even out of the b ox as long as you install them on the right ends. Maybe if the gaps are different its because they are reverserd??? Don't know.

Definitely a matter of opinion. In my case I would say Eibach Pro-Kit, only because I used them with success for over 50k miles. Later I installed Koni Yellows and realized how soft the OEM shocks had become. The drop on the Eibach is nice and even at about 1" all around.
Espilir is popular as is Tein and Ground Controls - which give you height adjustablilty as well as customized spring rates.
Can't go wrong with any of those.

I'm really happy you are making this thread. IMO S2ki severly lacks in this department. Check out 350z-tech http://www.350z-tech.com/zwiki/Part:Springs
And the S2k has been around for how many years and we don't have anything like this. Ohh well. Anyway, I figured I'd help contribute to your post.

Anybody with price info please post where so it can be updated
Also, to the OP we differed with the Tanabe GF210, I ended up going to Tanabe's website and found the same 4.5/5.5, just wondering where your info came from. I don't want to be giving out the wrong info.
This will continue to be updated....

I'd like to order some springs to lower and stiffen up the handling just a bit to improve handling performance. Expert opinions appreciated.

are you sure you installed the correct springs for the front and rear?
