If you're buying coilovers that have been properly engineered, damping adjustment isn't that big of a deal for street driving and even light track use.

Properly... very vague. I've tried both types in the past. I still prefer damper adjustable.

Eibach has coilovers coming soon for the 370z in three different versions. Height adjustment only, single way adjustable and double adjustable rebound/compression with reservoirs. All three are mono-tube, hand assembled, designed, engineered in CA and rebuildable (if ever needed).

Pro Street-S: part# 6393.711
Multi Pro R1: part# 6393.712
Multi Pro R2: part# 6393.712

if they were 'properly' engineered then it should have drop recommendation...at which ride height the fixed dampers work as intended.

does the tanabe's have this key data? if so, i suppose you can give it a try but kind of defeats the purpose of having coilovers... just get springs and koni's in that case.
