This is only based on my experience and I have to thank all the people that helped me out with information and gave me more of the technical aspects of the product. Big up to LOU ROC@Amplified Motorsport and his crew for the information, M7 Coilovers and installation and Tony@MotordyneUSA for the swaybars. Also thanks to Martin82 for answering all my question in regards to this setup, if you guys don’t know he was running the M7 setup for the Redline Time Attack and got first place.

Now brief story when I was looking for information on M7 SUPER STREET PERFORMANCE COILOVERS FOR NISSAN Z34, there was only one review from MARTIN82 on the370z forum

http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...er-review.html

and that was it, I google, I yahoo and no more reviews on this setup, reason being is because they are fairly new in the states. I did call M7 the headquarters company in Ontario in California, I did speak to a gentleman and I asked to please give me technical information, the gentleman did not know anything in regards to the product and read the exact information that was on there website. So I was going nowhere, I did contact few vendors here and there from the forum and just gave me feedback in regards to what customers have given them. Then I read the article the M7 setup on the STI on motoiq and gave me a bit more confidence to try them out. I contacted LOU ROC @Amplified Motorsport and was very informative and helpful. So I got the M7 coilovers and sway bar installed at Amplified Motorsport. I did look at many coilover setup’s, I searched, made many calls and also drove few cars just to get a feel for them, reason being, well, I’m an enthusiast on a strict budget so I was looking for something reasonable, reliable, if incase something happened something to my setup, re-buildable.

NOW, the swaybars and coilovers are installed, how do I feel about them and what do I think????

Well, right off the back, driving the car though Southern California traffic felt like stock, just a tad bit stiffer than stock but not by much, I drove off Amplified Motorsport shop and drove back home to Riverside and took Valley Blvd and Mission, so I drove though Pomona, Ontario, Fontana and yes I did feel the difference when I drove over bumps and train tracks at that point I can tell you the setup did not feel stock anymore. I had to change my driving style because with the stock setup, I really did not care, I just drove through any dip, bump or tracks but having your car lowered and have more of a performance oriented setup, you really have to change your driving habits.

The way it was setup at the shop was more for street purposes and explained to me on how to dial it in incase it was to soft for me. Now I did drive it my car on the 60 freeway and the car absorb the road very well, like I mentioned, just a bit stiffer than stock. Now driving though a San Timoteo Canyon, few hills here and there, going on the freeway and driving through down the car honestly felt great, the setup that Amplified Motorsport was more than excellent, I felt pleased and really did enjoy the feedback the car was given me as I drove. The Motordyne swaybars really reduce the body rolls and wherever I pointed the car on a turn the car fallowed right along, there was no struggle to keep the car in line. The ride quality was great, not harsh at all, and of course that will depend on who is driving the car and their own particular taste for ride quality. As for me, this is my DAILY so I was looking for something a tad bit stiffer than soft and reduce body rolls as I turned especially when taking the car to the canyon.

NOW, on my research, I did find out that this M7 coilover setup is a bit more flexible than the KW’s, KW’s was the other setup I was looking for. I understand not all coilovers are perfect and there is allot of pro’s and con’s with each setup and of course it will depend on who is driving the car.

This is my review, my experience with this setup and I will be doing track time with them and I will keep you guys posted, keep you guys informed on a short and long term on how its holding up.
