Tokico D-spec shocks mated with Espelir GT springs, cusco sways.

/\/\/\/\/\ - would that make a VAST improvement in handling when combined with the \/\/\/\/\/ i already have?

wider/lighter wheels & KDW2's.

I just installed Tokico D-Specs last night (with Tokico D-Spec springs) and I have to say they're one of the top 3 mods I have done to the car. I love the way it handles.

For a simular slight drop you'd be better off with S-tech springs and Hotchkis sway's. Espelir GT springs have too much progressive rate spread and Cusco's non adjustable rear bar would prevent you from steping down it's power (stiffness) should you need to. Sway's are ment to fine tune a already well dialed in suspension, to fine tune the car's at the limit behavior, any bar that is not adjustable prevent's you front doing that.

375/375 linear front and rear.

You have to be ok with their drop height, two 350Z owner's that have them installed both say they drop 1"/1.5". I had the springs for testing, for me the drop was 1"/1". With two owner's saying 1.5" in the rear, we'll have to go by that from now on.
