Nice, congrats.

I've been running their Pro-kit for about 4 years and have enjoyed it.

yep, prokit is what i use on my G35C.

it's good stuff.

so eibach is re-doing their prokit for the 370Z?

or must be the package deal with dampers and sways.

Wouldn't a coilover require them to build the spring and damper assembly together? Are these springs just lowering springs solely for the nismo?

Thanks... maybe you'll get to check them out first hand at one of the SoCal meets if I can ever drag my *** out to one of them =P

What they plan to do is get all the specs of the stock suspension and double-check whether their existing Pro-Kit is appropriate for it... if not they will develop a Nismo specific kit.

^^ ahh, makes sense. cool.

I also toured the facility and learned quite a bit about their manufacturing and R&D processes... My kind host also explained why good springs don't "settle" and that settling is caused largely in part by improper installation.

did the kind host also say that their progressive rate lowering springs make your car handle better through quick switchbacks just because it's lowered?

Nah... he forgot to mention that one =P
