Hey guys, I'm looking to get new struts for my '14 Z sport.

Does anyone know of some good struts designed to mate with the stock Springs? I've only seen koni so far, but having driven a z on konis i was a bit disappointed as it felt the compression was too slow for the rebound of the strut and coming out of a corner the car seemed to squat and push itself up to create a bit more understeer. I know this might have been due to the adjustment made by the owner of that car, but I'm not certain I could get it more accurate without spending a lot of time at the track fine tuning it.

I've also seen that Nissan sells the s tune stuff. Does anyone know how those struts will do with stock Springs? Or does anyone know how they balance the car versus stock?

EDIT: No idea why I called them struts. I meant dampers. Looking for alternative after market dampening to mate with stock spring rates.
