Default Need Coilovers to get the look I Want?

Call me crazy, but I'm getting my Z in a few weeks and making clear plan for what mods I want to do. Been bit by the bug before with a couple cars and want to make a detailed plan for what I need before I go too crazy.

Anyways, I don't plan on auto-x-ing the car anytime soon after the purchase but do want a clean look. I plan on getting 20" rims on the car and have seen the drop with springs such as swift (which was my first choice) and it just doesn't seem flush enough for what I'm aiming for. Does this mean I should go for coil overs to get that perfect drop I'm looking for? Does this also mean if I get the $1000 range coil overs it will ruin my daily driving comfort or ruin the shocks prematurely?

I've done lots of searching and reading on other posts and just cant find the answers I'm looking for. Sorry for all the newbie questions, but never had coil overs before. I was looking into the Tein Street Basis coil overs or similar, and don't want to spend more than double for KWV3's just for a cleaner look. I basically want the car to be almost flush with the outside of the tire or about an inch or less from it. Nothing to crazy since it will be daily driven.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I know its just another coil overs or springs debate. Thanks in advance and again shout out to all the370z community. Been really supportive even though I havn't even gotten my car! Made me want a Z even more than before and convinced me to get it for sure.
