Are you the first person with this setup for the Z33? I'd like to know how long these shocks can go before blowing w/ regular street use. Any ideas how they hold up for the WRX/STi and EVO guys?

Not sure I am the first or not. I think that the EVO / STI guys love theirs.. I really like mine.
My use is mixed street and track.

We will be working with BC Racing to track test and tune these off the shelf coilovers as well as a few custom sets that we are working out the details/specs on with them on right now. These will be tried on a couple NA 350Z's as well as some high HP FI'ed roadracing 350Z's, g35's, S14's, and our EVO IX, so stay tuned for the reviews 
.........
We also sell BC Racing products now.

Only after buying softer front spirngs, did I finally resell them. I really like Pete at Bc as a person, but no matter how hard he tried to get his product back into my car, I'd rather pay more and get something worthwhile, worthwhile as in the kind of things a shock dyno would reveal.

You don't know me from John Doe... so you have no reason to trust me. I promised BC racing an impartial review, and this is it. I am genuinely impressed with this suspension, and if I were not... this review would reflect accordingly.

I have not had a chance to get my Z back out on track with these coilovers yet, and may not for a few more weeks. Only the track time will tell if these suffer from the less than ideal dampening that you suspect them to have. But then .. for the cost, I would not expect to lap F1 cars
