I'm in hole 2 up front and hole 2 out back. I noticed a big stiffness difference from hole 1 all around. I can't imagine hole 3. Honestly, it feels good but I wouldn't say "a dream."

350zCDS, what's your spring rate front and rear?

Btw, I love holes.

I'm hole 1 out back and 3 up front I think... Terrible memory though. I like the setup, with a square tire setup it likes a more even stiffness front to rear.

Don't we all?


And I have the TVS kit laying at the shop at my buddy's house waiting to be installed on the Z.

Taking in info on how to set mine up to begin with. I do know my stock suspension is toast. The rear struts don't even make sound going over bumps anymore, the ride height is almost as low as the hotchkis springs put you, and it doesn't hold the road worth a damn anymore.

hahaha. Maybe I'm easily pleased, probably thinking about how a 4/3 setting would feel! but i have stock shocks … so whatever the spring rates are on those.. 10k/8k?? Complete guess, don't flame me bro! Coilovers are probably my next purchase though. Powered by Max makes some BADASS ones for a grand. Or so it seems. Regardless, adjustable damper coils ASAP

i had my rears on full stiff for a bit and noticed that with tcs off the rear end would kick out on me easier (pretty stiff setting on shocks), i put it on the middle setting and i like it better this way

Would you have if it was Thanksgiving?

And I didn't spin the tires once on the drive to work today. Traffic was too heavy and I was cold.

Finally got all my parts installed.. Now need some new hoses, a wire tuck, a polished timing cover, and maybe even a new strut bar and I will be all set!

you will like it, it will stiffen up the lower part of the bumper and the oil door makes it nice when you change the oil
