370z ride

alan93rsa · 02-21-2009, 01:47 PM

When I picked up my 335i sport it had 18" run-flats. I thought the ride was pretty stiff. I switched to 19" non run-flats and the ride improved, much better. Tire geometry will affect the ride as will tread design.

By any chance do you have the seat in a new position? I find that I am very sensitive to seating position. Has something to do with the 16 screws, 4 rods, 3 shims and butterfly plate I have in my spine.

That said, I find the sport package comfortable.

Ride in a 350Z, than ride in the 370. You'll notice the difference! 370 is less punishing than the 350.

I think they were deleted before I read them.

mono01,

Did you buy your 370Z off the lot, or was it a dealer trade? I ask this as sometimes those who trailer cars strap them down incorrectly and sometimes damage the suspension. Have you had a good alignment shop take a look at your suspension? Or have your dealer look over the suspension.

Excellent suggestion!
