Default Spring/Coilovers - General info please

Ok I've seen plenty of other member's IS's lowered on springs/coils and looking into this mod. I have an 08' 350 and want to advantage/disadvantages of springs/coils. I know that springs are cheaper, but aren't adjustable and coils are the exact opposite. I'm wondering how my ride quality would be aftermarket springs and stock coils. I enjoy the stock ride comfortability as it is, especially since my previous car was a 350Z. I want something reliable that can maintain at least the current level of comfort I have without breaking my bank. With this being said, I'm leaning towards staying on the stock coils, but going with AM springs.

Could members please put in their personal reviews and locations to purchase these?

Also will this void my 125K mile warranty?

Thanks again for answering my noob questions.

i was on h&r springs on stock shocks which is very popular option for springs for our cars. they were ok at first but as i started to drive more often i realized the ride quality was degraded. i am on megan ez and they are way better then just having springs. base on what you told me i suggest you get megan ez for comfort because it rides very similar to stock on its stiffest setting. i should have gone with bcr because i wanted a stiffer ride with higher spring rates

The only part of your warranty your aftermarket suspension could "void" is the components you've replaced. Plus, anything thing else that happens due to your aftermarket suspension.
