Honestly there is a guy selling a set of cusco coilovers second hand and i kinda wanna get them, the fronts are stiffer but the rears are the same as tein, I could sell the flexz set then maybe, would have some decent track shocks and the tiens for the road. Just need to get my guy certified and plated for adjustables. If I buy the cusco i may even just swap the springs depending on how worn they are. Also do you run spacers? Plan to buy some so i can stop slight inner tire rub, Im thinking 3-5mm will do they only just touch full lock.

Yeah, I thought you had the Flex Z's, but why did you go with the TRD? You can play with the Flex Z's preload without messing with the height ride. Oh but I guess you can't on the rear?

I'm on the Tein's S Tech lowering springs, I guess they're stiffer than the Flex Z's, but still comfortable. So I didn't really feel that the brake line brackets were hitting the frame until it was mentioned here. I haven't replaced my rear shocks yet, still stock. I'm planning on replacing them with Bilstein B8s. So that might even help with the brackets not hitting the frame, but I'll go ahead and relocate them when I complete the rear disc conversion this weekend. The front struts are already B8s, and what a difference they make. I still have to trim the bump stop, I only feel them bottoming out when I'm going 70+MPH on the freeway and hitting a bump. I've ridden in cousin's 370Z, and I feel that my Dee Dee is still more comfortable.

I'm not on any spacers, what's your wheel's stats? My wheels are from Mini Cooper, 15x5.5in 45 offset. I don't feel nor see any rubbing up front. Although, with the disc conversion I'm doing, the rear wheels' track will widen by 1/4in (6.35mm) on each side, meaning they will be 1.35mm (2.7mm total) wider than the front.
With my recent discovery, I'm pursuing the 5x114.3 PCD, and put Skyline R32 wheels, which are 16x8 30 offset.
If anyone here does it before me, give me credit...
But I think it's been done over seas...
