Spring or coilover?

which kit did you use? feedback please.

 

Eibach Pro Kit. My car looks kinda slammed. Handling greatly improved though. The drop is pretty much even all the way around ~1.25 inches. The drive is slightly bouncier...very slightly. If I had the money, I would probably go with Coilovers though.



BTW your stereo system looks bada$$...how does it sound? any rattling?

 

sound is good. No rattling since i dynamat it reallyyyyyyyyy tight.

 

Nismo shocks/springs + sways

Lowers just slightly less than an inch. Does not looked slammed whatsoever. handling is phenomenal. Ride is slightly harsher than stock, but there is much less bounce also. Overall, I prefer the ride of the Nismo to stock. I honestly have come to believe, that one is hard pressed to find any better products for the Z that what Nissan makes itself. The only possible exception I see to this is crawford headers.

 

I thought your Z was already lowered
Anyways mine is Eibach Pro-kit, the tech guy said and inch all around and that's waht it looks like
for just doing the springs the ride is nice feels a little better than the stock IMO, but again I have had it on for only 300 miles

Your DB looks awesome, keep up the great mods
BTW are from California?

 

Tein Flex with EDFC but I have it too low. Already ruined one front bumper and one Y pipe. I'm gonna have to raise her at least an inch or be super careful about speed bumps, steep driveways and parking lot blocks.

 

Redroadster : Hey thanks bro, yours looks great too! Im actually from texas Kinda wished i was out in cali cruising in the nice weather though

 

I am on tein S-techs... putting on SF challenges next week. This pic was taken right after the drop so its a tad lower now. If you like the slammed look, you should go for eibachs or tanabes. I have a steep driveway so i didn't want to risk scraping the bumper. The drop is a little less than an inch.

 

I installed Tanabe Sustec Pro S O C coilovers, 1.25" drop. I REALLY like this kit--it was purchased as a replacement for nismo s tune which I bought used from a buddy. No disrespect to nismo s tuners, but the Tanabe coilovers are height-adjustable, ride stiffer, the shocks respond better, and coupled w/ Stillen sways, Prothane bushings and GT Spec frame braces, this car feels truly "on rails".
The downside is I scrape the shields on the cats, ever so slightly, going in and out of my steep driveway and my regular alignment shop can't/won't risk putting my ZR on the ramps. Had to find a trustworthy shop with a pit.

 

i will not drop that much. with my 20", the front look pretty low now. ONly the rear. I'm looking to drop about .5 in the rear.

 

get the tein basics, i purchased eibach springs, but had to get the basics b/c the ride was horrible...

 

i m lookin at the nismo suspension, shocks n sway bars.. how is the handling on those? :P

 

NISMO suspension + sways. Car drives like a beast!

 

how does the nismo susp ride relative to stock?

 

Ride descriptions are very subjective. I felt the ride got a lot tighter and stiffer, which was what I was looking for. I came up from a Miata, so I was used to the car being responsive, and the stock suspension on the Z seemed sluggish by comparison.

 

What should someone pay for Nismo shock and sways with springs?

I have Eibach Pro Kit on my car! it rides to harsh for me so I might change....

 

+1

Good balance between performance & daily drivability

 

i know i can get discounts on parts wit a dealer (15%) so, somthing in the neighborhood of $1500 for suspension/shock, and $425 for sway bars (nismo) without installation costs...
