more toe-in condition (0.40 total) will eat at your tires, but it will improve straight line stability for sure. but stiffer dampers will net your a lot more on this type of suspension.

on stock springs i think im going to be okay with koni yellows which are only re-bound adjustable (yellows are usually only re-bound adjustable and i am assuming the same for the 370Z's set). unfortunately this is the only damper set currently available for the 370Z that i know of. my only other alternative would be to get coilovers with near stock spring rate, linear rate springs, and keep stock ride height, use the adjustable damp settings to tighten up a little bit.

if im running progressive rate lowering springs i would prefer to have simultaneous adjustment dampers for street (bound and rebound stiffens together like my tokico D-Specs on the G...but not available for the 370Z). my goal would be to minimize suspension movement since it's already sitting near the outer stroke range of the stock suspension from the lowering springs... sacrifice would be some ride comfort. tires are eating pretty quick but i was able to get ~10K with sprited driving on RE050A PolePositions so that's not bad at all (currently running the new S04 PolePositions ).
