s14/s13 springs on y33 or where to get y33 lowering springs

Hi i am buying a 97 q5 with 100k miles on it. it has a set of 20s on it that will work for now. However i want to lower this car on springs without the expense of coilovers. What is the best set of s14 or s13 springs to use to lower the car 2". I would really like to find a set of tein s tech, insurance downs, or elspir lowering springs but i have had no luck finding them. If i go the s14 or s13 spring rount it would just be temporarly untill januray when i wil beputing on jic coilovers. However i ould just liek to get some lowering springs made for the fgy33 and use some kyb sr specials instead of coilovers. I dont want the poked look with negative camber i just want the fender to sit right and the tire or have minimal tuck. as this will be my daily driver for my family and i am on a nursing students budget. any information wuld be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

I am also curius as to how to make the 300zx turbo calipers ork on the q45. if any modification is needed and if you are able to run the stock rotors. of course i would be buying drilled and slotted rotors.

best bet would probably be Tanabe GF210 stiffest rates outta any of the other springs.

Just to let everybody know wos reading this i found a forum from 2008 on nicco club that memorfab.com carried lowering springs for the fgy33. I called them today and they do in fact carry Insurance Down lowering springs for the fgy33 for only $300. This is a lot better rout than using the Tein S Techs from Japan that arnt made for the Cima Y33 but the v6 Gloria and Cedric. Memoryfab.com also carrys the KYB SR Specials for $598. These springs are a great alternative to coilovers as you get roughly 2 inches of drop. They are also a lot better than running s14 springs on your Y33. Check them out at memoryfab.com the parts arnt listed on their website but if you call them they got lot of stuff.
