  1. Is this advisable?
  2. What did you think of your handling results?

I have the Koni Sports on my 370z and I love them. They are probably the best you can get. I also run Swift Spec-R springs so I am about 1 inch lower than stock.

That said, I see no issue with using the Konis and stock springs. You may have a very slight drop in height.

I went the same exact route and it puts the Z at the perfect height, with the perfect stiffness and cornering is much improved, especially since mine are paired with eibach sways.
