I also have Hotchkis sways set to middle-middle.. all three GT spec chassis bars and an ARC titanium strut bar. The car handles really well..

kinda dark but this is what the car looks like with the coilovers on..

Really nice man. I have the same coilovers, just waiting to install them. I also got them from Adam who has basically set me up with nearly everything I have on my car. Adam always been pretty helpful and knowledgeable about our cars. Definitely the man to talk to.

Sorry to bring this topic from the dead, but my coworker knows somebody parting out with these (yes the Titanium Zero 2s). I heard Cusco doesn't rebuild coilovers but offers replacements. Does anybody know if Cusco will offer Titanium replacements?

the only thing titanium is the casing...that should never go bad, unless its damaged in an accident.

The innerds are the same as the Zero2, and yes, are sold

Just a quick bump... will these fit an 06 base? I am unaware of any suspension changes throughout the evolution of the car. Also, what price range/eta can I expect with replacement parts? Like I said earlier these are used coilovers (from psantos); as far as I'm aware they were taken to multiple autocrosses and possibly a few track events. Any help is appreciated before I take the plunge.

Didn't someone destroy theirs due to a few major puddles or something I think I even saw some pics on here at some point of ones with the mounting points broken off. Titanium is rather brittle from my understanding and crappy roads could potentially kill these, or am I way off here? Does anyone know, Adam maybe you know a bit about this ?

Carbon fibers brittle but I don't think titanium is?

I believe Titanium has the same tensile strength as steel (dunno which one); it has realtively poor heat conductivity and is not good for stuff like pistons.

yes they will fit any 03-08 350Z

titanium is completely resistant to water, even salt water, and chlorine. They damper units were a limited run that Cusco did a few years ago, but once the price of raw ti went up alot, they stopped offering it.
