If a HZ handles average it is because something needs fixing. When they were new, if you hopped out of a HQ-HX into a HZ you'd swear it was a totally different car. Like chalk and cheese. They look heaps better at original ride height in my opinion, as long as you keep the original tyre diameter whether that be by use of 18" wheels and low profile tyres or smaller wheels with original size tyres. When they look silly is when smaller diameter tyres are used eg 245/50/14.
