UPDATE:
100_2488.jpg 100_2490_2.JPG 100_2489_2.jpg I got the sways and exhaust on today. It's been raining so these pics are the best I've got. I like the sound already. The sways won't be tested in the wet and rain. Coil overs in a week or two.

The only downside to the Hotchkis is that it makes it difficult to compression load the front corner at lower speeds (< 40 mph) which generates some turn-in understeer. You can compensate for this to a certain degree by adding some front negative camber. At higher speeds it feels fantastic, very flat and planted, especially if combined with coilovers. The understeer is the only reason I don't recommend them for a stock car setup, but if you are lowering, adding coilovers etc. then it works out well as a package.

 You got some really great stuff for your car; I’m very interested in seeing how you set up those new K&W V3 coilovers. IMO the Stillen CBE are some of the best sounding exhaust on the market for the 370Z! Enjoy!  Alex

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.
