Assuming you are asking me. Actually very similar ride quality. The H&R are lower but ride like stock with just a bit more bounce to them. Not too hard and probably a little too soft as they roll just as much as the stock springs in cornering. Perfect for a DD aside from the lowness if you drive on rough roads, which I do not.

Oh and as for the Nismo comments wishing they had nav and leather.. my thoughts exactly

Over the years the 370z has grown on me but have always liked the more knife edge feel of the Z33 in my opinion. When I got rid of the 03, I looked at a Z34 and periodically we think of adding another to the garage. That being said there is a lot of competition out there for the Z34 right now, and around here they simply wasn't to much for the car. Waiting to see what happens when the next Z drops. Curious to see what Nissan will come up with.

Oh forgot, nice look on the blue Z above.

I test drove one the other day while I was at the dealership getting aligned. 2014 Touring Roadster 6MT.

It's a hell of a nice ride, especially on the inside. Scoots along nicely and shifts smooth as silk. I am absolutely not a fan of the clutch though. Just not used to it I suppose. It was awfully springy and jumpy towards the engagement point. The car rode much smoother and felt a little more numb to the road beneath it. Good and bad I suppose. I think my 350 feels more raw...but it's obviously had 10 years of break in, so I suppose I can't complain.

There is a spring attached near the clutch pedal to help assist with feel and comfort or some crap. Basically, remove this spring and it will feel like a normal clutch again.

If you do a search for it, its there. Many many have removed it. Takes 5 mins.

Mines removed, has some slop even after adjusting it but its very little. For most a lighter spring is better.

People on the g37 forum have a guy who custom made a lighter spring just for that. I think they might be on the 370 forum as well.
