Default WTD:Tein Basics Coilovers or HKS Coilovers

I am looking to drop my car with coilovers either Tein basics or HKS. If you have cambers or and sway bars would be nice. Refer local.

Thanks

+1. What about Tanabe SustecPro SOC, nismo, or many other quality products available? No offense intended, but depending on your budget, there are so many options available. That's one of the really interesting things about modding the Z--a TON of aftermarket products from proven vendors. Also, there is a really good database here on sway bars, and lots of info re: interaction and suspension tuning from suspension gurus.
I suggest you do some research-this forum is a good place to start, before you make a final decision. Don't be too hasty. Good luck.

with HKS, you can change the setting in the rear while the wheel still mounting.

Yes, because it is adjusted on the bottom of the damper just above the brake rotor...

See the purple dial in this picture... thats where you adjust damping...
