Mr. Onzedge how is the koni yellows comparable to the OEM struts? Is it a night and day difference?

I would also like to know. My friend had Konis on his 300zx and I remember the ride being pretty stiff, wonder if it's the same on the 370z with Swifts

Coil-overs are a hassle to me and I do not think any of them are superior to the Koni/Swift combination (for the street). I considered, briefly, the Bilstein coil-over, but the cost made me remove it from my list. Come to Sacramento and you can drive my car to see for yourself.

All Z-people are welcome at Casa Onzedge™, except for Mr. houkouonchi...

I do plan to go to California this year I will surely ring you a bell just to say Hello!
Im definitely considering of keeping my swift springs.
One of the reasons why I stay away from coils aside from the cost!

dang the swifts springs are awesome. i couldn't believe how well they matched my stock dampers on my dd when i put them in.

first time ever i was happy with just doing springs. and ive tried all sorts of
brands neuspeed, eibach, tein, tanabe, h-sports, etc. etc. none came close to
the swifts. all of the other ones needed dampers later and/or swaybars.
