Thanks, Brad!

I found the comments in response to FDao's question about "porpoising" very interesting.

Dammit, Raceboy, when are you going to put this on your car?

I'm very optimistic about the response from DCD. If this kit is truly what he said, then I am all over it! Waiting for Nismo to come to the US! Or maybe just get them through JapanParts....hmmm.

The suspension is quite interesting. I want to reduce the understeer as it is a little more bothersome than I thought it would be...but how much would this new setup reduce this? Raceboy? Also if its MUCH harsher than stock probably no...the Z is quite a comfortable sports car and thats rewarding early in the morning and such. But I plan on sticking with 18" so that should help.

The S Tune looks good, but I am still also waiting to get the JIC specs as well. About the only suspension really available right now is the S Tune through japanparts.com. We will see, I would like something on my car by late this or early next.

Remember my post about how i put weights in the back of the car and it eliminated porpoising? I think i'm correct, harder spring rates in the rear match the hard stock shocks better and eliminate porpoising. Therefore i think by lowering the Z, the ride will actually get BETTER.
