Bilestein vs. Tociko D Specs or Koni Yellows
I’m thinking about Bilstien shocks (not coliovers). I wonder how they compare to the stock 2004.5 shock, Koni Yellows or Tociko D Specs. I'm only lowering my car by 5/8 inches with RS*R Ti2000 springs. The front rating of the springs are 345 lbs compared to the stock spring rating of 314 lbs. The RS*R rear springs are rated at 417 lbs compared to the 2004.5 stock rear springs at 427 lbs. My car is a DD and I still enjoy the comfort of the stock shocks. But I believe the stock shock won't last long or work as well when used with a lowering spring. My stock shocks have 46,000 miles on them. I wonder if Bilstein shocks will work with a lowering spring and which Bilstein shock is best suited for this, given that I prefer to stay close to the comfort of the stock shock.

You troll the Varr's thread asking the same questions:
- Offset(like they have a lot to begin with)
- What suspension are you on
You can afford the Tokico D-specs... so buy them. For god sakes search! The PM feature goes a long way and there's several vendors here that have deals and more than likely will offer some decent advice:
First you start at the stickies:

The Bilstein B6 shocks for the 350z, in my opinion, are some of the best shocks available if you want the best comprimise of comfort, longevity, and performance. They are noticeably stiffer than stock when cornering, but absorb bumps much better compared to OEM. They also feel more consistent on rougher roads.
What makes them different is that they are monotube shocks. I love the rebound characteristics of the Bilsteins than any other shocks on the market.
I have used Koni and Tokico D-specs (on other applications) and Bilsteins (for the Z) are much more refined.
