I think suspension is a big weak spot for Z's. Especially when you compare to other high performance cars like Porsche.
Coilovers are a big $ step but a big improvement.
When you do it, a new alignment, lowering the ride height and bigger sway bars will enhance the upgrade.
Also found that 18" wheels all the way around makes a big difference.
My choice was Pfadt, great support and service. Hear great things about LG though.

Why do you think 18" wheels on the front matters
