If you don't like your kidney's you can always up the dampening (stiffer shocks) and lessen overall travel to avoid some of those issues.

But I would rather drive careful than blow my spine out.

Kane: I thought you were cooler then that. tsk tsk

I'm on Konis + S-Techs with OEM appearance pkg so I know how much speed bumps / dips can suck.
I'm gonna be screwed when I get my new bumper...

The tires came from the dealer - mad drorifffto look. Also why my offset is.................. +28 in the back; rollin on 9.5 - 19" wide wheels.

I am going with a new set-up when these ones are done; plus I am trying to work some game with Falken to save $$$.

LOL; yeah - look at the pic. It looks EVIL! The 350Z guys hate me.

The set-up works in the sense that I can power-oversteer with like 1/3 throttle....fun but not really practical. Might have been ok with stock power - I dunno.

I am going to move to 275 Rear and 245 fronts; I think that will work better for me. I may need yet ANOTHER roll - this time the bill won't be footed by the dealer.

I am still not going to stiffen up my shocks though - I'll just drive slower.
