Default strut options under 655.00 tokico tein?

Hey guys i have a 03 350z track 100k on her and is only see's the road once a week and that's on a day off and i drive her hard. She's got some work done to her and i would like to do some more. She's probably the nicest one wrong me right now. 4 tone paint job with molded body kit. Over 10k in work to her all ready. I want to replace the stock struts and with the body kit its not about lowering the car any more. i like a firm ride i want race car type feel. What im looking at is this.

tokico hp $360 front and rear.

tokico d 599.00 front and rear.

tein basis 655.00 kit.

That's all i could find around 650 that i would like on my car. If some one know's of another good brand im open.

What im really wondering is about the tokico hp the most. Do they handle that good? Is the tein struts better than the hp line?

Thank u for all the help.

D Specs are the one from your list. Race car feel comes from a lot more than just dampers, spring rate, bushings, sway bars , stiff sidewall tires etc etc. street drivers often confuse overs stiff damper settings for race feel and say their car handles great. We actually try to run the softest settings possible and the lead to the fastest times.

my bad i forgot to list that last year i up graded front end bushing with upgraded ones. This year im going to to replace the rear's the best i can. I'm not sure what springs to look in to because i can't drop her more than half inch.. I have pilot super sports on the front and bridge stone set that is there higher end before track tires. This year my goal is to get some good dampers and installed better z1 clutch and flywheel.

B&G Lowering Springs 1.0F/1.0R Nissan 350Z Z33 03-09 62.1.057 I'm wondering if there any good? I like the 1 inch drop they have. I'm also wondering if the spring rates are good on them. Does any one else know of .5 to 1 inch drop spring with good spring rates?

RSR springs drop .6 of an inch and should pair nicely with the tokico D.

I have been looking for the rsr springs but can't find them. So my goal is 15-25% better handling. Second is drop.
tein basis 655.00
tokico hp tein s tech 555.00
tokico hp with ?.

I'm not sure if the basis setup is firm or not.. Not much info out on this setup. Max drop is 1 inch. Would like to be more at .5-.6 drop.
