Mike has been anxious to give his 370Z a capable coilover system for street and track use and also lower the car down to a pleasant level. In 20F freezing weather, Mike brought us his 370Z for the install to take place this weekend.

As we all know, the 370Z suspension is fairly soft...even moreso than the 350Z OEM suspension, and all it takes is 10 mins on a racetrack to realize the suspension (and brakes) are in dire need of improvement. Car&Driver found this out the hard way.

Like most HKS products The HKS Hipermax III's are extremly high quality and well engineered. Installation was very straightforward. For the timebeing we left the adjustments right in the middle of the range until Mike has a chance to dial them to his driving style on the track. After a couple of ride height adjustments we had everything set to Mike's request. I think the look is stunning. Because of the icy roads and inclimate weather, we didn't have a chance to give it a high performance road evaluation but I am sure Mike will chime in with his assessment.

Enjoy the pics!

 

Looks sharp

 

Very nice. One of the better looking 370z's

 

Nice!! Thanks for sharing..

 

Jay, James...hmmm....pretty fast on the draw to the 370Z subforum. You guys in the market?

 

Love it

 

what is the max. drop for these? and also can you choose higher spring rates and get a revalve?

 

Hey Guys thanks for the compliments on the ride! I have to say the HKS coilovers are fantastic! and now after installing the Hotchkis sway bars they are out of this world!!!! these two products must have been made for each other. FP did an amazing install job on my car and it is about to be at their shop once again for their first TT 370z build!

Celestak, I cant remember the spring rates off the top of my head but we did drop the car over 3+" and lets just say on those 20's we couldnt clear anything including small bumps in the road. so we raised the car up a lil so i could atleast DD it.

 

looks good.

Is the drivers side rear lower then the passenger side?

 

Never say never

 

does it go lower

 

Yes it can go lower.

 

kool... it would look better with some forged performance volks on it tho

 

sweet ride bro ! one of the few 370 that look really good... it does take a little work to make this car look good. you did it right ! ..... saw it by h-mart a few weeks back... stopped to look at it

 

hahaha which H-Mart? the one in Johns creek? Cause I live like 5 miles from that H-Mart...

 

sick... just SICK

 

barf. in a bad way.

I am going to go look at pictures of the forged 370z to cleanse my eyes of this... car.

 

u cant be serious.. this 370z is sick!

 

not even a little bit. sorry. terrible rims, tiny tires, the black center bumper cover, the headlights don't even really 'fit' for some reason.

just not feeling it whatsoever.

 

ok, the tires are tiny because the wheels are 20's. i lovce the black center bumper cover. love the color matched headlights but not sure about the lighting mod.
