Are D-specs same length as OEM shocks?

I'm trying to figure out why my car sits a little lower and rides like crap (lot more bumpsteer) after installing D-specs 7's.

Car drove great with eibachs and oem shocks.

Thanks.

DSP-7 is the same height. DSP-9 is slightly shorter in the rear. I went with the latter, since it makes much more sense with lowering springs. No issues at all when I had that setup.

i got the same shocks. you probably got the 350z version which is a little shorter. as for ur ride being rough, thats completely normal. whats ur dampening set at? if you have it all the way stiff. try moving down 3 turns and it makes a huge difference. thats what i do on long trips

Bump steer is a result of lowering where the tie rod angle is changed fom oem position.
