Right on, they serve their purpose.

The "bouncy" would mostly be in the shocks. The springs probably work well with your shocks, or you're not going fast enough for it to matter.

Ive always thought the OEM spring rate was soft, even for normal street driving.

Finally flushed out my brake fluid. I know this needed to be done about a year ago but kept telling myself i'll do it next week ect ect. I remember it being a complete pita to bleed the brakes when I bought my akebono bbk a couple years ago. I was using some garage 1 person bleeder from auto zone that I couldn't get to work properly. Now I have Motive 0117 and it took about 20 mins after I got all 4 tires off. Going to start bleeding once a year now that I have this power bleeder.

That just makes you a noob and a post *****. Seriously nobody cares about your post count, rather the content of your posts.

Took a 2 hour drive and got it a spare shaft, because the 350z loves to give and get the shaft.

I swapped out the oems for Akebonos a few months ago. They were probably the easiest ones I've ever bled.

The clutch on the other hand, that was a pain in the ***! The hydaulic system on the clutch has some little metering block for whatever reason that makes it nearly impossible to bleed the system. That is coming out next time I do any work on the clutch.

Default 300zx diagram for reference

That little block next to the highlighted arrow is the "damper" block. That is your worst enemy for bleeding the clutch.

I gotta tell ya I'm not a fan of it period. Lol. Grew up in a near tropical climate and the winters here kill me. Maybe you'll get all the snow this year. Lol.
I won't be driving the Z on snow days. Got a beat up old chevy for that nonsense.
