It was a statement. Whatever your post numbers up.

If that was to me, I might be smart with electronics. But I'm learning the ways of performance.

Okay! 4 x Koni shocks ordered. Total shipped price = $847.00
Minus a 50 mail-in rebate = good deal

Now, should I swap to nismo Springs?

Decided against Koni with OE Sport Springs as I PM'd a member who did just that and said even on the softest setting they're harsher than OE. Definitely don't want it any harsher than OE. Finalizing a deal for OE 20k mile full Sport strut/shock and spring set. I also don't want it lower than OE.

Stock springs suck, in my opinion they bounce around the car too much especially on Chicago roads. Usually it's the other way around but my ride is much more compliant after installing swifts. Would never go back to stock.

So THIS is the reason?! Any others agree? I'm about finished with the crap stock suspension @ 55k miles of abuse / being abused.

I cannot have my car lowered much since all you morons moved to Portland and we have even less money to fix the roads with more people on the roads.

Open to suggestions on Springs, and more importantly: Where should I buy from without any games/gimmicks? Is there one seller for a koni yellow + spring combo on here?

I replaced my stock springs with aftermarket coil over and swift springs. At the low damper setting, the ride is fairly close to stock. It I couldn’t run it too soft as the car would bounce

I know his is an old post but I want to clarify for others that the Koni are softer than stock on the softest setting, on the firmest setting they are very very firm. I had 30k miles on my sport suspension when I changed just the shocks and the front was a little floaty on full soft and the back was soft but ok. Ride and handling are both better on the Koni if you get them adjusted correctly. I currently have mine set 50% front and 20% from full soft rear but run then firmer on track.

This is a good point.

I have my fronts set to slightly firmer than the middle setting and the rears set right in the middle. This seems to be a good combination.

I decided I will be changing my suspension again.I went with the Eibach Pro Kit Springs from Concept Z Performance this time around I highly recommend them as they offer a nice stance without being too low from street duty. I may be keeping the Tokico HP Blue struts and shocks as I had great luck with them at the track. The Koni yellow struts and shocks are very good quality and work quite well for street or track duty. The Tokico HP blue struts and shocks were one of the best struts and shocks I have used on my Z’s. All struts and shocks are not created equally. It depends what strut and shock manufacturer you prefer and how you want to give your business to?

Gotcha, still not down with only being able to adjust rebound and/or rebound and compression together.

How are the Tokico HP blues compared to OE On the street? Are they double or single adjustable?

Thanks
