I don't really agree with the opinion in there on an aftermarket damper paired with a set of springs-- for most cars, you can easily find a set of matched

I don't really agree with the opinion in there on an aftermarket damper paired with a set of springs-- for most cars, you can easily find a set of matched rate springs and dampers, and it will be the same way for the Z once the aftermarket catches up.

In addition, it is not too hard or expensive to have custom valving done. I had a set of custom valved Koni yellow's matched to the ground control springs I had on the Civic I autoXed. It honestly made very little difference since they were already such a good match.
