Message His Z traslats firm, solid and confident handling+riding. It feels like drving on a rail track and 4 corners feel like planted onto the road (some % due to his slicks that nite I believe). Body roll at the street corners is very little and close to flat.

Comfort isn't sacrificed; ride isn't harsh nor bumpy like there is no cushion, but getting better road surface feeling (solid) and it's not annoying feeling.
The "noisy thing" that Nick mentioned before isn't that bad; it's some squeezing sound like the one from T-top, but not like squeeking directly on top of your head. It probably won't be noticeable much if you have loud exhaust.

I didn't get on it nor launch hard coz it's not my car + his clutch was PITA to engage and I got my left foot sore after driving, and I only speeded up to 50mph. Note to self: racing his Z with him as a passenger is worse than getting a wreckless speeding ticket, and as a bonus, a nite long lecture will be offered at no extra cost. So I can't share the lauch and high speed improvement and HICAS elimenation now (cough... cough.....)
However, his Z feels GREAT overall and very ENJOYABLE.

His suspension mods accompany with the 300 Degree Bushings:
. AMS Front Strut Tower Brace.
. Eibach Pro-Kit Coil Springs.
. Tokiko Illumina Struts 5-way adjustable.
. Suspension Techniques 2-way adj front sway bar.
. Suspension Techniques 3-way adj rear sway bar.
. Midori adjustable front upper links.
. Nismo adjustable rear upper links.
. Tetsu adjustable front tension rods.
