Have you noticed any abnormal tire wear? Any side lower than the other? Lastly, what settings do you have your Konis set at?

Just trying to get more thorough feedback from you. My Z handles turns/corners very well with my Swift/Koni setup...even on the softest setting, but I find it a little too harsh for everyday commuting. Not that the Z rides perfectly smooth from the factory. I didn't get the chance to drive my Swifts with stock shocks, so you're able to give a more detailed review than I can.
For me, Konis add a great deal more control. The car's tendency to wander while driving straight is almost gone, cornering is far more precise (dive in is gone) and I can corner faster than with stock dampers. The Koni's are also adjustable so you can determine the amount of under/over steer to your driving style.

BTW: I drive my 370 very hard.
