Message	I realize that coilovers is a common topic and I searched a lot but I still didn't really find the answer to my question. I am considering jumping in on the Powertrix coilover group buy that's taking place. I currently have KYB struts with stock springs. The springs have 80K and the KYB's have about 15K along with the rubber mounts, etc. My question is, how much harsher is the ride with the SS coilovers for those of you that have them? I am not willing to sacrifice much of my current ride quality (I know, makes me seem old) but I would like to lower my Z a little and gain a little performance through the curves. My other question is, will coilovers have a negative effect on straight line traction or is it a minimal difference either way? Sorry for the noobish questions, the only Z's I've driven/rode in with aftermarket coilovers were stiffer than the Powertrix SS setup and a little harsh IMO. Since we all know that posts with pics get more clicks, I dug up this pic of my Z from about 7 years ago before it was TT, before I widened my rear wheels, and when I rocked an NA front with that ugle Z license plate.
