ZBoater--Thanks for the thought. I was shopping their site when your thread came in. Here's what I'm considering:
front & rear SCCA NISMO springs
front & rear NISMO replacement shocks
front & rear STILLEN 5 position sway bars
With the forum discount I can get the NIsmo parts for $1022 from perfnissan; I can get the Stillen for $279, free shipping.
I have 2 concerns: 1) will the SCCA springs be too hard for an everyday ride and 2) will the nismo parts interact well with the STILLEN sways. I don't have a major tire wear problem and don't want to "install" one. Any thoughts?

I wonder how the Nismo shocks will do with different rate springs. For instance the Nismo SCCA ones you mentioned or even my B&G springs..

I followed-up with a call to perfnissan on the spring compatability and general userfriendliness. Jason there says the SCCA spring would probably be WAY too stiff for street applications, even when coupled with the softest setting on the Teins. I don't think this is the product for me.

Tein Flex is 672/672,
If I were to guess what that means, I would say 650/700.
Stiffer then oem by F+107% R+105%
or 600/675
F+91% R+97%
Given that, the Nismo S-tune shocks should not be used, not even Koni's unless revalved. Their is a vast differance between something mounting up and being controlled correctly. Good excuse to buy the slightly used Bilstein HD shocks I saw in the market place and getting them revalved. Though I wouldn't touch spring rates that stiff for use off of a track.

If I remember correctly...
The set was pretty close front to rear.
Something like 650ish rear and the front were like 630ish.
I remember talking to Jim Rauck (another T2 350Z guy) and he had slightly different spring rates but they were close.
I ll dig them up and see.
When I raced Jason car at Mid Ohio it didt have our sways or the spring pacakge on the car.
I did drive it around the complex here after the install and it was really nice........for a race set up and that was with Koni sport Yellows.
