does the 3 z give as un-comfortable bone-jarring ride as the 240sx does? considering it should handle better than the 240 and all is it stiffer?

Much better manners in a Z. The Z feels more stable too.

The Z is SOLID as can be, it isnt a bone-jarring ride but it is still stiff but smooooth as can be. Its nothing compared to me or boostaholics HKS and GAB coilovers. If you want a bone-jarring ride let hope in one of our cars <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

yeah, every time i ride in West's car i feel like im gonna lose some teeth that ride is so #### stiff!  However it handles like a dream with those coil overs <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

HHAHA! MASTERK IS IN THE HOUSE! Whats up kyle! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I see a zilvia.net addict in the making.

And dont blame the coilovers for the rough ride. When I have mine set soft they ride as smooth as my stock suspension, West and I are just freaks and like to have them turned all the way up!

Don't get me wrong, I don't mind the stiff ride @ all because of the way the car handles.  Trust me, when I get mine (as soon as possible!!!) then they're gonna be stiff as #### also.  

Word up Joshie!!!

Look at what I have started <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Suspension is GOOOOOD <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

I heard that.  No sense in hauling serious ass if you're gonna go all over the road at the slightest turn.  Plus, w/suspension and brakes, you can always have fun scaring people when they ride w/you <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>   I can tell you that riding w/boostaholic can get kinda scary sometimes.
