So...what ride and handling qualities do you notice betweeen the coupe and roadster? You're implying that the roadster (later build that you have) is noticeably better in ride and possible handling. Thanks.

Koni shocks and RSR springs have solved the bounce for me. Now when I drive I don't even think about the suspension anymore. Before all I could think about was the ******* bounce (couldn't enjoy the ride).
So...I recommend this setup but I'm sure that other springs will work also. Believe that the Konis are the key ingredient

I'm fine with the Z ride on NorCali roads but my wife is not. She notices every little bump in the road. Will the Koni's reduce/eliminate the harshness over bumps; i.e. result in a smoother ride?

Your roadster rides on a revised suspension that debuted on the roadster and made it to 2004 coupes built after 10/31/03. The revision was done to improve the ride quality of the Z. You can either locate a used revised 2004 suspension (I have the shock parts numbers on hand so you won't run the risk of buying a unrevised 04 setup). Or you could buy Koni shocks or Tokico D-specs and accomplish pretty much the same thing.
