And without a shock dyno results handy, adjustable settings are just a mystery box.
Of course, you get what you pay, for a competition car it is worth to just take the best parts without looking at the price, but for one who just want to enjoy his car, it is not worth it. I will check if I can find shock dyno locally, but I doubt that.

Zeal is only $2k nowadays? I recalled riding in my mechanic's personal car with Zeal coilovers. It was an eye opening experience for my young self at the time. It was over 10years ago. We had the same make & model car, and his car's behavior over bumpy corners left me a great impression.

One minor advice, you may want to consider the availability of rebuild/revalve locally. It's a PITA to have to send the set back overseas for potential service work needed. Small chance, but still should be considered.
Yeah I was just amazed with the difference in price between buying Zeals from US or Japan, the function x model is going for JPY 204,000 which is around $1,900. I don't know about other models pricing. Your short experience with Zeals is encouraging and hope the JPY rate will be better if I decided to go this way.

And I am pretty sure we don't have any shops that will rebuild/revalve coilovers. So, which ever is my choice, it will be the same.

I will say V3's aren't good enough for repeated track use from what I have seen. They need a stiffer linear spring rate to be good, and KW will no longer revalve the V3's for a linear spring since the release of their Clubsport line. However, they do not offer a Clubsport for the 370z.

JRZ's are out of this world good.

MCS would be a good option equal to JRZ, as well as Moton if they offer anything for the 370z.

MCA's look good, as well as Stance Pro Comp 2's.

Bilstein PSS9/10's are a very recommended coilover in the European car world.

The higher level BC Racing coils (DR, HR, ER, ZR) are also very good and may be an option for you to look at.
Thanks for replay, I will look into the options you mentioned and hope I just don't end up spending more than what I am planning
