The go-to is Koni yellows and swift springs. I haven't heard a bad review yet.

bilstein makes coilovers for the Z. haven't heard of anyone using them

Zspeed sales them too!

I have Tein s tech springs and they are just fine on a dd. I think the drop is just right, not too low, but low enough and the ride is better than stock. The drop on my Z is lower than what they advertise.

I've looked into them. They're about $2300 a set.
