Question lowered suspension without rougher ride?

Hey guys, I'm getting a g35 coupe soon, and I'm planning on doing a few mods. I will be a G newbie, as well as a modding newbie, so please dont flame me for asking.

Anyways, one particular mod seems to be like a rite of passage, is aftermarket wheels + a lowering kit. In my (limited...vicarious) experience, lowering the car with lowering kits or coilover springs or whatever, though making the car look a whole lot better, always seem to give the car a rougher, more bouncy ride.

I'd be willing to spend a little bit more on a lowering solution, that allows me to maintain the same ride quality, as the stock g35 suspension with 18"s (not sport version).

Any suggestions??

search in that thread. I think Tein comfort sport coilovers is the option most people go for when they want a soft ride.

Tein 350Z H-Techs are the way to go. The front springs are only slightly stiffer, and the rears are actually a little softer.

It depends on what you consider to be a rough ride. I thought the 350Z S-Tech springs and Tokico D-Spec shocks were very comfortable. I think the BC Racing coilovers that I have on the car now are also comfortable.
