Z1 Motorsports 370z Adjustable Suspension Kit? Any Good?

If rules allow for sphericals, then SPL is much better.

Get the SPL's. There is a reason why everyone here uses them. They work with no issues. You don't have to remove the arms to make adjustments like you have to do with other arms. The only reason not to get them is if you do autox and the rules say that you can't use them.

I only plan to keep this car on the street, I just want a better more responsive feel while driving. Would it be a waste of money to go with all SPL stuff if that is all I am doing with the car? If the z1 stuff is not reliable, what other brands would be a good option that would fill my needs? I am going to check out SPLs stuff and price everything out and see what I can do money-wise though since I really like their stuff and have seen it used a lot.

Not at all a waste of money. Don't get me wrong, SPL is expensive as heck. But you're really buying peace of mind. SPL is about the only aftermarket stuff on my Z that I dont worry about when I'm driving
