81 280zx strut spring upgrade..WHAT???

i know this has been covered b4 but the threads are so ancient. when i click on links that people have posted to get deals. the deals no longer exist. so my question is what do i buy and where do i get the best deal.i have the z droop in the rear and i wanted to change out the shox/struts and perhaps a better spring. maybe a little stiffer. iam not to interested in lowering the car to much. just looking for a better hadling ride than what i have

Then go buy the Autozone "Gabriel" specials and Autozone stock replacement springs... won't solve your squat, but will keep your stock ride height.

Or get yourself a set of Mercedes 300D springs (I've mentioned this several times on ZDriver) and cut them to your desired ride height.
