help with suspension

When I got my car it came with tokico Hp series shocks and tein htech springs and I just hate the ride quality when I go over bumps. I want to change the setup but I don't know which direction to go. I want a drop but I still want a stock ride quality. Any advise? I keep reading of going with 350z suspension. Can anybody help me out.

I would say save some cash and go with coilovers they'll give you a drop and a decent ride (and adjustable too )

aftermarket stuff is rarely more comfortable than stock. Go find non sport OEM and you'll like it better. I have the shocks/springs and ill sell them cheap

Consider that non-sort oem springs might wear out quickly with htech springs. I know for a fact that they will with z springs.

My suggestion would be either tokico dspecs, I think on softest they are softer than OEM and are adjustable to your liking. Otherwise I had z springs and shocks and the ride was just about perfect but not adjustable. Right now I have revised z springs and dspecs which is perfect for me.

I have 350 z springs front and unrevised G cpe springs rear along with rays 19s and 35 series sidewall tires and the ride is unbelievably comfortable and handles great. You get a decent drop too.

I'm aligned to cpe specs (more neg. camber than sedan, a bit less than coupe, toe is perfect too with no alignment kits), so tires will fare better b/c I can't rotate the stag set up.
