One of my biggest complaints with the stock setup is how nervous the car feels when you hit a bump under engine load or how bouncy the car gets to the point of losing control at higher speeds. Improperly setup suspension can exaggerate this issue. I get so confused when some drivers say the 370Z is too soft. I would say dampening needs to be softened up so it can soak up the bumps and not make the car nervous. I plan to stiffen the hell out of all the other components like sway bars etc but soften the shocks and see how that works out. I could be understanding it in reverse but coilovers are a great platform to discover on.

3) You have a go baby go button in your car and didn't tell anyone
I wouldn't say I'm a expert driver (don't let my username fool you), I'm cautious and I know how my car reacts if I do bone head moves but I'm not a driver that would win any races. I guess if you want to count this, they did have breather mods without tunes so I assume their cars are running worse than stock (low end torque lost, not as smooth as stock until they get tunes etc). It'll be a different story at Willow Springs.
