Default DRM Coil Overs

Just wanna give my opinion on coilovers.
This past month i installed coilovers on my Z of course after all my friends put them on there Z's i got jealous.
I went with 400/250 springs,i think i would prefer a bit softer maybe 350/200.

They are bad @ss it should've came with them from the factory.

Much smoother ride at cruising speeds.
I find myself going faster just so much smoother,on the highway 85MPH feels like what 55MPH used to feel.

Tonight i did a couple of WOT passes to about 145 MPH i didn't even flinch.
It doesn't follow grooves on the road,the car feels planted.

If your thinking about it stop and just do it.

I've heard that going with coilovers adds weight a big concern of mine, adding weight to my Z is a big NO NO, what i discovered after i weighed all the stock parts leafsprings,bolts,clamps,shims basicly everything coming off against the coil springs and hardware they were withen 1-2lbs.(bathroom scale)

Got my ride height just the way i like it,looks killer.

Awesome just freaking awesome.
