I too have concerns with the bouncy characteristics of the Z. I currently have Swift springs (the ones that lower almost 2 inches) and I installed those years ago but when I did I saw no noticeable improvement in the bouncy nature of the car (just stating the facts/perception). Now if I were to add the Koni's in the mix based on what ive read here I am uncertain. One person said it makes it bouncier and another said it decreases the bounciness...LOL!

I'm confuscious

You know what ironically you helped me decide. I just realized the koni's will make me go even lower and I am riding on 20" Work Emotions right now and will definitely rub if I go any lower...Thanks!!!!
Just stating first hand experience. My car was going through corners a lot quicker than two other guys with a 370Z sport package and one with the base model but some aftermarket diff that had the Fortune Auto Coil Overs and the BC racing coil overs. One did have the stock Bridgestone tires but the other one had the same exact tires as me. So I kind of boiled it down to them paying 1300+ to lose to someone with just some shocks even with all the time they did tweaking the settings for the road surface and corners. Keep in mind, this is strictly street in the canyons where the road surface changes where this happened, NOT A RACE TRACK. I assume just the shocks won't do well against someone with coilovers on the racetrack but I've never tried yet but with the sway bars and tires, it should be a good match up.
