My wife currently has a 335Xi. While I can appreciate the car for its merits, it is by no means a sports car. It handles great and has a very good feel for it, but it is still a family sedan with a twin turbo heart.
My point wasn't that there isn't a suspension out there that you could enjoy, my point was that rarely will aftermarket suspension components soften the ride of your vehicle. So if your starting point is a stock 370Z suspension, usually the lowering springs, coil overs and the like will use higher spring rates and thus increasing the harshness of the ride. I haven't had experience with the H&R springs for the 370Z so I cannot comment on whether it is a better ride or not. I sold a Lexus IS350 that was lowered with F-Sport springs and my Z is definitely more compliant and comfortable than it was, while still having much better handling. I guess its all what you are used to. I had an STi before the Lexus that was also lowered and it was probably the harshest ride of any car I have owned. And that was with Tein H-Tech which was supposed to be the more relaxed spring that they offer. My wife also had an STi with Eibach Pro-Kit springs and it was extremely harsh as well. So compared to those vehicles, I think the stock 370z has an excellent feel to it.
