Who has installed the S-tune suspension?
I'm interested in the Nismo S-tune suspension. For those who have it please provide some feedback to the rest of us. I am particularly interested in how it effects ride, bounce and handling. Is the lowered height a problem with curbs, speed bumps or driveways? Also has it improved or done away with the tire feathering demon? Sorry if this question has been asked before. I tried to search for it but the search function is not working properly today. Thanks.
Since the search isn't working, I'll do my best to answer your questions.

I've had mine on for just under a year now. The ride is noticibly stiffer, but the car no longer bounces like a stock Z does.
It only lowers the car about half an inch, so you really don't have to worry about any more curb problems than you initially did, unless you've got an aftermarket front lip--and well, that'll cause curb/speed bump problems as stock height as well.
And a proper alignment is what really helps the feathering. You'll need one after the S Tune is installed, anyway, so spend a few extra bucks and go somewhere other than a Nissan dealership to make sure things aren't out of spec.

I plan adding this kit when I get a roadster. I plan to add the Rays wheels, will there be a difference in clearence in the wheel well are? Or I should ask, will it look lowered or will it still appear to be stock?

I did it and it is a bit stiffer.. wheel hop is almost gone....
I honestly thought there would be more of a difference but maybe that is the point. the ride gets better, you just do not notice it all that much..
