I personally didn't feel the stock suspension as hard. Sports car stiff but not harsh. But what's important in the end is your happiness. Tanabe makes GT coilovers that would have softened the ride. Sound deadening would at least reduce some noise. Also, switching to continental DWS tires would have cut road noise.
The 5.0 is a serious performer and should be fun. I wish you the best and maybe the Z35 will sway you back in a couple of years??? Be safe.
