What’s up fam

Ok so I am getting ready to make some upgrades to the suspension. I am sure there is a post on here already and I might have missed it so sorry if I am repeating. I am thinking about lowering my Z on swift springs and also doing the front and rear sway bars from Z1. I daily drive my Z so not looking to get crazy. Would like it handle better. Also need a good all season tire for the winter months right around the corner. Thinking about getting the DWS06 plus 265F/285R on the stock rims. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks Fam

I went with The Continental DWS06 and they have been fantastic so far. I installed the Z1 sway bars and went with the stiffer setting (setting 2). Installed the Nismo Coilovers and lowered the car about 1.5 inches. (maybe a Little to low for an Older guy..ha ha) I set the compression stiffness on setting 6 from stiffest ride on the coilovers) Big Difference from the factory (softness). No more diving on acceleration and quick stops! This is on My 23 Proto Z. The installation is not difficult just takes time and patience. Worst is getting the rear install with removal of inside panels to access the top of the strut (oops that was on my 90 300zx) there is no need to remove the back inside panels to access the top of the rear struts) only issue is if you are changing the setting on the rebound on the rear you have to remove the strut to adjust. Takes a minute to remove the exhaust components to install the sway bar. All in for me was about 2300$ from Z1. Not bad for the results!
