Hey David,
Here's a comparison between the Zeal Function X and a couple of other suspension setups I did awhile back.
https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-susp...unction-x.html
For what you're looking for, your best bet would probably be one of the following:
Zeal Function X http://translate.google.com/translat...ml&sl=ja&tl=en
Zeal Super Function A B C D E (E is BEST and probably overkill) http://translate.google.com/translat...ml&sl=ja&tl=en
Tanabe Sustec Pro Sevens with TEAS (Like TEIN EDFC, but better - Control dampening from inside your car with active speed sensor) http://www.tanabe-usa.com/coilovers/seven.asp
KW Clubsports (These just came out. If they are anything like the KW Variant 3, then these should be awesome!) http://www.kw-suspension.com/en/30_P...port/index.php

the Clubsports are not really all that road friendly, unless the roads are silky smooth - best left for track use. They are streetable, but not so much a dual purpose unit like the V3, or Function X.
What spring rates do they use Adam?
Yea i really think im gonna go toward Zeals.....Not sure which on exactly yet....and about the next mountain meet...thats this friday....Scott said hes gonna come through with another Z and a GTR and I got a g35 with a gtr front end conversion coming through...so u obviously need to come through!!!....

I know we aren't talking about a Ohlins or JRZ twin tubes, but
A low pressure twin tube with gas canisters that can't delivery in both worlds? I know the setup is valved differently vs the V3. Perhaps they went the direction that TcKline went and the valving is set to be linear on compression as you turn them up vs degressive. Would love to see some shock dyno's, but sigh I know that won't happen from Kw.
What spring rates do they use Adam?

I used a set on an Evo that was specifically done for dual duty (street and track days) - lots of low speed compression harshness, but at highway speeds and up, and on faster switchbacks, it felt very nice. So, I guess one "could" ask them for a totally street oriented unit...but then that begs the question, why not just get a V2 or V3

Spring rates are done per request - I forget the window they give you, would have to go through my notes
I purchased the clubsports a little while ago but havent yet installed them, from what I've heard/read they look to be a great albeit harsh street/track set up. Its what Chebosto was running with very little set up time in the SCC challenge event.
