Lucky :(

Very lucky. I was about to spend $2000 on coilovers when the opportunity knocked. It was a long drive but I was able to see the mdse and the seller was able to see the greenbacks

we wanted to make sure that neither of us is named JoonBug. :)

That's cool, so overall you like the difference with the S-tune kit? I know it's not much, but does it look better lowered?

No I don't like it, rather I love it. Today wAs a lot more driving. Further feedback:

the car wAs easier to drive as with the struts, the car stays firmly in the middle of the lane. Before, I tend to do a lot of left-right correction to have the car centered. I am more rested today.

Simar to the above but still different, I feel much safer driving the car as I goes/stays where I want it.

Braking is also very pleasing and confident-giving. I believe it is because thenoss-dive is so much less.

For others who may want to be almost-Nismo-wannabe like me, please be warned that IMO if you do a lot of city driving and/or rough freeway driving, this setup is rough.

Lastly, can someone please measure their ride height from the wheelwell? I don't seem to be scraping my driveway anymore. I am beginning to think I gained height rather than losing.

My hrs:

front. 28 3/16. 28 5/16
rears. 27 5/16. 27 12/16

hmm I wondered if the rears are backwards?

from the service manual.

How rough is it? I mean it is a sports car, and that roughness is just the stiffer springs. Is it unjoyable to drive now?, I ask cus I'm really interested in these.

On the contrary, it is very enjoyable. Let's put it this way....the car is so different now and I just feel bad for not doing it for the last 10000 miles.

Yes it's a sports car. And if your definition of a sports car is like mine, I say GO FOR IT!

Thanks for the review, I think your the only one who has installed them, lol You should take some pics of ur Z.

So, I probably gained a little bit of front ride height and lost a little rear height. This explains:

1. Why I am not scraping my driveway anymore, and
2. A little weight-to-the-rear distribution plus stiffer coils in the front contributes to better nose-dive and braking.

Interesting!!!!!

Perhaps, after the units get old, the car's height would settle again.

I just did the same swap with stormcrow's suspension.
I am at 27 7/8 on both fronts and 27 3/4 on both rears. Fronts are right on stock suspension specs pictured above and rears are slightly below, I would have thought the Nismo ones would be lower.

However, Jeremy had 100 miles on his suspension and I have only added about 10 more to that.

I won't be driving the car again until VIR a week from monday, but will measure again afterwards, once they've had a chance to settle.
