I would stay focused on the hot idle in traffic you have been talking about. If you haven't noticed the rough ride from worn suspension I wouldn't be concerned what the quick oil guys say. You'll see that in the wear of your tires.

Google "240z struts". They aren't shocks.

Im just asking for good quality absorbers ths has nothing to do with the vapor lock condition leading to rough acceleration.
