doens't that actually raise the front like 0.5" though?

i think tj was having issues with his and ended up getting the swift springs.

yah, im all for customization so i would require the damper adjustability.

now if Koni released yellows for our cars i'd probably just do that, or maybe hitachi/d-specs or something.

Koni has no intentions of releasing anything :-/

Yeah, very disappointing. Part of the reason I want to move from the platform.

Spoken with a rep a couple times about it. Current status is no plans to do anything for z34 in the next 3 years.

LOL why not just get KW's V3's like i'll probably end up getting instead? or maybe HKS or something? that's hardly a reason to dump the entire car.

According to Nissan the 370Z Nismo strut and spring kit is supposed to provide a drop of 10 mm or .4 inches compared to the OEM suspension. That's not much, but I would say it is about right on my car.

At the expense of an awful ride.

I don't think the ride is bad at all. My 370Z rides much better than my modified 350Z does and it handles just as well.
