The ride is a little stiff for normal driving, but it feels much better as the speeds go up. There is a lot less body roll and the steering responds a bit quicker with the stiffer end links. Handling was more of a priority than ride comfort anyway, but it does still ride smoother than a stock 350Z.
My previous setup was just S-Tech springs with stock shocks that were about a year overdue for replacement. I used to have a fair amount of rubbing on during hard cornering; now with the coilovers set about 1" lower there is almost no rubbing at all. The main things I was looking for when I picked these coilovers were: -lower -stiffer -adjustable -cheap The Street Advance met all these criteria so I'm happy.

As far as I can tell, the specs are the same otherwise. The price difference between the two was only about $100, so the added adjustment is easily worth it.

On Garm's store, the Street Basis are $900 (http://shop.microimageonline.com/NEW...SL70-11AS2.htm) so if they're $100, I'm guessing they ran $1k. I'm sure Garm can chime in on his specific price.

In the older basics design for the rear the spring perches went on the bottom

Nope, followed the instructions. The springs only sit correctly one way anyway. Not sure if the older ones are different.
