I know you don't plan on slamming the car but give us more info about your intentions with your Z (daily driver/track/autox/etc.). That'll give us a better idea on what to suggest.

Have you read this: https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-...nce-needs.html

Sounds like you need to make a decision matrix. List your requirements and possibilities, then rank how well each possibility meets each of your requirements. Go with whichever scores the highest.

You will not gain anything with Tien basics but ride height adjustment. dSpecs or Koni will be an improvement
