Really depends what your looking for and how much you are lookng to spend. The Konis with the Eibachs are a good ride....big improvement over the OEM ride.
The Bilstein PSS series is coming out which will be one of the nicest complete packages on the market. www.350EVO.com
Not to confuse thing's, but a lot of coupe specific suspension products are not geared to enhancing the coupe's performance, but to lowering the car and maintaining oem like ride quality. Anything made for the 350Z will works on the car and many times is vasty superior for those that want performance. Keep this in mind when shopping. What is best for you depends on what you want out of the car or should I say, out of your lowered car.
B.J, I see that Bilstein now show's a part number for the PSS, HE5-A162-H0. Are they out now, I talked to them last month and they didn't know when they'd be out. I did make sure the system does not share the lackluster specs of the shock and spring system they make for Nissan Japan that is cataloged as a dealer installed option. I wonder if they have pss specs out now?
Personally, I think the car handles fabulously - miraculous considering its curb weight. I'm not sure how much could be done to stiffen it and improve handling without making the ride unbearably harsh.
have experienced wheel hop a few times. I checked the tire pressure and it was at 34psi...just below factory recommendsation. I raised the psi to 50 all around and now no wheel hop![clapper]

"I'm not sure how much could be done to stiffen it and improve handling without making the ride unbearably harsh."
Their are system's (coilovers or shocks) out that improve without being harsh, better shock control/dampner control is the key. Of course you are the one holding the yard stick to measure what is harsh or not. The oem G35 suspension has too little in the way of weight transfer control to truely be at the top of the game.

Hoppercheng - you might want to reconsider letting a lot of air pressure out of the tires. While I realize that running higher pressures makes the G feel like it's riding better. The spec on tire pressure is there for optimum wear and on tires that are this soft, you asking for premature wear to your tires.
One question I have is why you are running so close to the maximum safe (tire pressure) rating for the tires?
