I was in your same situation! So I technically have a full 350z suspension! (well, just the springs) and I'm very pleased with the drop. It's perfect! You'll love it trust me.

i think people who drop their car should really look at their location and their road quality. That is the only reason why im not dropping my car, road here is like driving up a cliff, I dont really want to feel all those bumps

The H-Techs or revised 350z will give you exactly the stance you want. I went w/ S-Techs which are stiffer and a more aggressive drop and I love them.

Z Springs don't sacrifice much at all in ride quality. I would run them even if the roads were poor... for that matter, I live on a dirt road, so... there you go.

My cousin runs coilovers on a Z in Louisiana, and he manages... If he can get by... anyone can.

^You're lowering the car's center of gravity... that alone is a bonus.

Personally the car certainly "feels" like it handles a lot better... I know that's not very quantifiable, but maybe some of the other members that have done the swap can better word it.

i've heard that the biggest difference in handling is sway bars. I need themmm

I swapped out my H Techs for S Techs last week and also replaced my shocks/struts with revised Z parts. The handling improved quite a bit and the car is noticeably stiffer, but still rides very smooth. The Z/STech combo seems well mated. I also have Hotchkis sways and a GT Spec FSB.

Rides much better than it did on the stock sport setup.

Wow, your shocks must have been crap... usually you'll notice the ride is slightly firmer with 350z suspension (I did) but for most people, it's well worth it once they notice how the car just has a much better "feel" when driving. Plus it looks a lot better.
