Not sure what you mean here. If you are talking about a list of coil-overs that people have put on their sedans- great, I could list my Teins as well. I was initially excited about the PSS10's being listed on Tire Rack because they specify between the coupe and sedan. It turned out these have the same part number for the 370Z so they are not specially tuned for the excess weight of the sedan like I originally thought.

Never been to south Jersey. Although I am thinking pretty seriously about some Carbon Fiber Element work on my silver interior trim and I think they are in Jersey. I would probably mail it to them though. My sister lives near Boston, but that would probably still be a pretty big drive.

Thanks man! If I am ever out that way, I will try to remember to look you up. But for now would you say the PSS10's make the car a little bouncier than stock over 45-50mph roads that look new, but have bad seams so every car bounces a bit?

I wouldn't go that far. It just should not be there. Its more like you can feel a subtle subdued bounciness. like waves

I think if they had went with a beefier spring I wouldn't be complaining.

So the PSS10's are bouncier than stock or smoother on these types of roads?

Did you consider the spring extenders from KW so you can ride a bit higher but keep that KW ride that you're happy with?

4DRZ they are better than stock and smoother. Its just that I noticed the lights had some bounce to it. It is better than stock by far. I just did not remember any of that with the Kw3.

blnewt I did consider and inquired about the extenders. They said that it would void warranty if used. Because it put them outside tested range. I didn't want to chance it.

Well, that is awesome news that the PSS10's ride better than stock- that is a 1st that coilovers ride better than a stock suspension. My Tein's definitely do not ride better than stock, but they are very close to stock.

Sucks to hear about the low ride height though.

Also bought mine from Tirerack in January. I have the PSS10s on my 12 G37S Sedan RWD. The ride is smoother than stock with all seasons compared to stock.

This is because I had swapped out the Potenza S04s to Michelin A/S 3+. Thinking that I could get away with just installing the coilovers, I learned the hard way after the tires started wearing from the inside. Installed SPC FUCA and Voodoo13 Rear Camber. Did not need Toe Bolts.

Mind you that it takes a few hundred miles to have the coils break in. I took it for an alignment and it was fine.

I have at exactly at the middle on the dial ***** and as for the ride height too. These are adjustable dampers on a scale of 1 to 10.

The ride quality is smooth. Watch out for driveways, potholes, dips, speed bumps, and inclined hills; my undertray is done, and the midpipe keeps bottoming out.

Glad to hear you like the ride. I am impressed that a coilover can ride smoother than stock. Does your car seem to ride low in back like some people have talked about. I wonder about the performance of these on track compared to the Tein basis I have now.

It seems to ride low in the back. There seems to be more drop in the rear than in the front.
