Message combo's from a physics standpoint, here is my input from NYC driving so far.. First of all I bought the SPL KTS coilovers knowing the ride was obviously going to be very harsh as you could predict from the spring rates alone. I am currently riding on stock 16" NA wheels. I feel every imperfection in the road, for example when I am driving on the FDR where a spot of asphalt is missing (sort of like a mini pothole) I hear BAM BAM as my wheels pass over it, I guess it just sounds worse than it really feels. However when driving on a well paved road there are no problems, but this is true for any suspension setup. I currently have the dampening level on the lowest setting and it is still not bouncy..can't wait to turn it up!

If your Z serves you as a down right sports car then I say toughen up and deal with the sacrifices of way improved handling. If you can't deal with the annoyance of the ride over the road imperfections then either have the more bouncy ride as I hear about the eibach's, go stock, or get a DD.
