Final UPDATE:

I just got those coil overs installed today. Tomorrow I'll get it aligned. Currently using the factory settings and down about half an inch. They don't feel uncomfortable in the limited driving I've done with them.

It took a little while maybe 3-4 days to get used to the sways and my oversteering. I really blew it coming home from Christmas after a rain. Alone on a climbing 180* turn and in the dark, I unintentionally put the car into an 80 degree slide, facing towards a 10' drop. The Z easily recovered and I kept going. It might have looked cool, but it sure didn't feel it. I knew the turn, I just turned the wheel too much coupled with too much throttle.

Overall. I am pleased as punch. I love listening to every shift. The Z has a much faster response time, and much less body roll. This translates into a side to side shaking feeling from time to time but no more roll.
