Now that I've owned the car for over yr I agree with the majority. My Z suspension feels well damped, however our roads a decent and my Z is low mileage and in great condition. My take away from your experience is that perhaps the 2012 had dampening issues or *your* particular car had issues. Perhaps your road are really that bad or maybe Nissan sorted things out in later models. Either way, you are swimming upstream on this forum
They changed shocks and struts in 2013. I will never own another Nissan again, so I cant comment on the effect of that change.

i just put 2015 nismo components on my 09 last year and they feel almost the same as my 09 sport setup. a touch stiffer.


idk how you guys all hated the Z that much.

i bought a GTR and still kept my Z. love that car. it's now my summer daily.
