Dont know how s techs perform on Z's, but i know they we're horrible on my WRX. Very sloppy, bouncing around, could feel all imperfections on the road, did not provide any performance at all!!! I later installed swifts and the difference was night and day, perfect drop, very mild, and performed a WHOLE lot better than the stechs. Like i said, cant talk about how the 2 will behave on a Z, but as far as product quality and performance goes, i feel swifts are better... Hope this helps

Really? wow from what I read before, Swift drops the MOST! like more than 1.3" all around. But Yes, Swift provides really good quality of ride I heard. When you said mild, how mild? How much of inch you think your car got dropped by? Thanks!

Tein H Tech or RS*R springs have the mildest drop! Less than .8" (RS*R is .6" drop) Problem is, they are not readily avail in the USA, you need to get them from Japan.

Swift's drop 1.2" front and 1" rear.

I think about 1.2 front 1.0 rear, but again that was on a wrx. dont want to confuse you thinking you'll get the same results on a Z, sorry. Its just that i swore i would never buy stechs, more likely ill have the same results in any other car. Regarding swifts, they work really well in subarus and from what ive seen around here, looks like on Z's too! Again, dont want to confuse you, so i recommend you keep doing your homework like you are now. I didnt do it with the stechs the first time around and paid for it .

I am 100% with your on this. I have the stech, they are great for street, more comfortable than stock, lower the car enough. etc.

BUT, the performance is not so good, I wen to the track and I will be going back to stock springs, stock performs better than these IMO.
