Euro-tuned shocks too stiff

Are they non-progressive springs? Different rates? Different dampers? Both? I hated the OEM springs and shocks far too soft for my liking -- I liked the Nismos better (non-progressive springs

I hated the OEM springs and shocks far too soft for my liking -- I liked the Nismos better (non-progressive springs and too stiff...), but eventually went with Swift springs and Koni yellows and couldn't be happier.

i found that the stock base needs a tad stiffer front swaybar. once i got that on there (swapped to kangaroo bar), the car is very stable even on uneven dips and humps. it is perfect for street.

Default Base Shocks

Now that's good input. Especially about being stable on uneven pavement and bumps. With this stiffer "sports package", I too felt like it would be easier to loose control after hitting some rough spots and bouncing, compared to the base suspension on my precious Z.
Thanks
