Im happy

I pegged this one! Good god" was on my side with this. I just installed Tein CS with Eibach sways, plus Cusco a arms. Without a doubt this is the way I wanted to go. I set the frt. up with 50/50 shock pressure and soft side sway. The back I went with 25/100 soft and 2nd setting on the sway. This car now will do what I want it to do. The Spec's looks great, but IM sure its off a bit. Damn I do not want to change it. This was an effort that worked out.
Now this was a good way to spend a day off. I did set the driver side a bit higher. 1/32"
Plus I like the drop. No, its not slammed.

It should be a toss up on your choice. I very happy with the firm but not harsh ride. I see you have the stillen sways. You might want to set your frt. sways a little firmer and go softer on back. For me a very nice improvment.

This is hard for me to explain. A much better improvement over stock. Stock had a nice ride and a little harsh at times. The CS now, I can feel the road and its like each wheel rides the bumps better. Its firmer, with better road feel. My settings are on the soft side on the valuing.
50/50 frt. 25/75 back. It is firmer and has not yet caused a rattle. IM happy!! Sway bars will play a big part on your setup. My friends with there 350Z's Think I hit this setup dead on.
On a race track, A little more spring rate might help.

ah i c. yah i dont plan on going to the track but ive heard about CS being good for like daily driving, not sure if its true. i kinda see what you are saying. inevitably every driver has different points of view into suspension. people have different degress to what is a good and harsh ride. im just trying to figure out if my ride will be too hard.
