So you can't run KW V3s?
If not, then i'd choose V2s or Hypermax III.

I disagree. First off, the Z has a crazy amount of camber gain in the rear, lower the car atall and you have too much rear camber. In all the Z's ive driven, wearing the outer edge of the tire is hard to do especially in a lowered car due to the camber gain. If you fix that with camber arms, the tire tends to wear more evenly and even if you have almost zero camber, your car will handle better if you're working the outer edge of the tire more than just the inner.
Even without coilovers and a lot of body roll, R-comps will still be a few seconds faster. I'd take R-comps over coilovers any day as tires makes all the difference (so no you don't need coilovers before you get R-comps).

Then get KW V3 and larger swaybars. The ride quality of the V3s are phenominal as the damping is very well matched to the spring rates compared to most everything else on the market.
