my rsx is lowered with lowering spring only....feel so terrible when driving around the town....

Ah, well, then if you got really low, cheap springs and didn't upgrade the shocks, that's your problem. The Z does ride pretty firm, though; you'd just have to drive it for yourself and decide.

I didn’t lower my car very much..just 1" lower than stock with some nice springs..

lets just put it this way, not too many brand new cars on the market today can do close to 160mph stock for less than 30 grand......

HEY we're in the same boat, had car for 1 year 9 months. Half that timeframe was at the dealer. Its still a nice car tho. As long as you still have warranty, you're ok. Without it and you might be lookin at alot of extra money. Hope you dont get a lemon like some of us.

I drove an Type S RSX for two years before buying my 03' track. Granted its in the shop right now getting a new motor because of an oil consumption issue but its by far the BEST car I have ever owned. From what I have learned so far about my 03' is that if the TSB's have been taken care of its a great car. Nissan is taking care of me right now so I feel pretty good about their product. Good luck!

#1 Original tranny
#2 replaced @ 17K miles along with clutch
#3 getting replaced next week with new clutch 27K miles.

All replaced under warranty and still have a year and a half left on the power train and then add another year because I bought and extended warranty, so I am covered at least for another 2.5 years

I would not get an 03 or an 04. I'm thinking of trading mine for an 06 or an STi
