Are they lowering springs or remain the same ride height just improving the comfort?

They are progressive rate springs and improve the handling in almost every respect. They do lower the car by about an inch also. As far as ride comfort goes, ummm...

The Z is a sports car, Maynard.

As far as comfort, I think they are more comfortable than the stock sport package springs, but I've only driven about 15miles. Bonus!

Ok, if it has a cap, and most of the covers, it now is red.

Think I am done in here for a while. Hope to get out for a canyon run this afternoon.

Installed the 370z.com stickers today. Looking forward to the boost in HP. I have heard any where from 20 to 50 HP. Also washed, polished and waxed in anticipation of my FI exhaust install this week.

heres one from the track 2 weeks ago:



cant wait for the uprev and fan control. with my bluetooth ODB reader and torque, my coolant temps were stable around 220F on a CSF radiator, and oil temps in the 250F range. im hoping with the fan control, i can get the fans to start up in the 180F range and keep me 10 degrees cooler all around since at stock the fans dont come on full force until 220F

for me i removed the car cover, placed Z off flatstoppers, turned the tires by hand, checked psi, checked fluid levels,
installed new wiper refills, and tried out cargo net.

here's the one i used from bmw. perfect fit, no saggy mess like the nissan oem one. plenty of room to tuck my manfroto.
