Shocks: whats hot & whats not?

My current setup:
2007 coupe
OEM sport struts w/ tein 350Z Htechs

I am looking for a good, reliable set of dampening struts that will match up well with my 350Z Htechs and possibly 350Z Stechs.

I am also looking for something that can handle spring rates in the low 400's. I have read the suspension thread w/ specs, ect. but I am looking for more personal opinion from people running aftermarket shocks/springs.

Let me know what your running as far as shocks/springs and how you like them as far as adjustability, ride quality, and reliability.

Pics are also a PLUS!

I dont need to go lower - just looking for improved handling/adjustability.

For the street, it is hard to beat D-Specs for the money, but have you considered upgrading the sways? I have an 06 6mt Sedan with D-Specs and revised 350Z springs.

^^ sounds like D Specs are the way to go & yeah when I do the shocks I am planning on doing the stillen f/r sways as well. i have heard really good things about them as far as handling improvements.

Koni's are a better performance choice, but what makes them better also takes away from ride quality. D-specs would be a great choice given what you want.
