Hi...
I just got a set of RS-R TI2000 350Z springs for my G35C...
I am wondering should I get a set of after market shocks?
If so which one should I go for??
I am more leaning toward Bilstein since they made some high end shocks for European cars..
thx

Do not run the Bilstein's with stiffer then oem springs. They are great shocks, but they do not have the valving to run with stiffer springs. I was once told it was ok to run H.D's on a totally different car. I quickly realized that I was given horrible advise, car was too underdampned. I sent them back to Bilstein, Jack French and I figured out how to revalve them, best shock setup I ever had for that car.

Your best bet would be either Koni's or Tokico D-specs. Which one to buy depends on how you'd like the shock to effect the car once they are installed. Koni are rebound adjustable only, so you cannot make them stiffer on compression. D-specs adjust for both compression and rebound so you can make them softer then the G35C oem shocks your on now or stiffer, stiffer then any oem Z shock as well for that matter. In any case either shock has superior valving to oem, period.

So what shocks does other people use when then are running on lowering springs?
