If you're paying that kinda of money you should be going with a custom setup (spring rates, valving, N2 fill pressures, etc.) to meet your specific needs. Also, I'd be cross shopping with Penske, Moton, AST, and JRZ.
That same circular argument can be made for any upgrade, why spend X dollars on something when you could send X+Y dollars for something better till you end up spending ungodly sums of money.
Of that list only JRZ offers something withing +/-10% price range.

Penske won't even talk to you for less then 10k
Moton is close at 3.8k
AST could custom make something but that would be way over 4k

This is in the low to mid 3k range, sure there are people who can and will throw the cost of another 370z at just the suspension but this is still within reason and a step up from KWv3s, not that those are bad but this is a new option for people at add to the list that most were not even aware existed because it didn't till this year.
