Message I would be inclined to think you won't be doing much other power mods either, so zero need to do much suspension work except for camber, caster and toe correction if you want it lowered and or have larger diameter wheels.

Any suspension mod is going to run rougher than stock. Upgraded springs and shocks net you all the roughness without any of the benefits of a real CO (ride height, no rubber etc). Having ridden in eibach equipped Zs on 16s, 17s, and 18s, its safe to say that the ride quality is lacking compared to new OEM NVH.

Get a set of SPL or Powertrix entry level COs if you can handle the somewhat roughness they give. Otherwise, buy new OEM and refresh all the rubber. You'll have a smooth ride and a nice 5 speed whitebread NA.

Search for prices and opinions etc, this topic has been beaten to death.

I do have to ask you, how could you be satisfied with an NA? It's so boring man, its not the Z32 in full form. Having owned both, I can 100% say that I was definitely missing out on how the Z was meant to be driven...hella fast. If you're not going TT in the Z, I just don't understand the purchase....so many other cars out there. When the Z32 was reviewed, it was the TT that got the honors. Those accolades would not have been rewarded to the NA, ever. My 2 cents.
