I understand what u mean but still 99% of the people that ask these types of questions will never track their car and the koni shocks are overkill and waste of money for them and for probably a lot of people on this forum who already have them.

I know it would be an overkill for me because i only road race the car once a year or so, and for my daily drives and ocasional canyon runs z-shocks are more than enough.

That is exactly what I was trying to say. Yea my car will never see a track and I am not too intrested in "playing around" with my suspension. The goal for my car is simple, look hot+ easy to drive= fun. Thats just me of course.

In that case, what about some tokico hp or bilstien. I think they are valved to be better than stock.

here is ur solution, tein s-tech springs combined with 350z stock shocks.
Major difference in handling, stiffer ride, easy on ur wallet, and looks great.

Ok I bit the bullet today and spent "some" cash. I drove the 4 hours to Atlanta Ga in my wifes Montero XLS and bought the stock strut for the front left only. I had to replace the one I broke. I also bought new brake pads, and belts. Then I flew back to Columbus Ga and got it all installed! WOOOHOOO!

Ok I know you all want to see some pics but you have to wait untill tomorrow! Am I a jackass or what? I just want to take the pics with better lighting and the car fully detailed.
