I thought I had it figured out by going with the RSR Ti springs and Koni's but, the Buddy Clubs for a couple hundred bucks more are tempting.

I am looking for something for daily driving, with maybe 4 track events and some auto-x per year. I was trying to do without coil-overs since it would be nice for once not to be messing with ride height and dampening, but the price is pretty good. I'm not sure about the spring rates though.

What does everyone think, springs and struts or coilovers?

I’m facing a similar dilemma.
Changing the dampers only or getting the BuddyClub setup.

Let me know what you decide to do.

Hmmm, hashing it out this is what I come up with.

Koni shocks $585 plus shipping https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....ighlight=konis
RSR Ti2000 springs @295 plus shipping
_________________
$880 plus @$80 for shipping
Total $960

RSR 350Z linear springs .6”/.6” drop on 350Z
Spring rates in LBS 345/417
Stiffer then oem by F+10% R+22%
Stiffer/softer then oem 2004+ Z's and all roadster's by F+10% R-2%


Buddy Club $1400 shipped (note, I recommend to opt for softer rear 6Kg or 336lbs rear springs)

Buddy Club Racing spec coilovers (rear springs on dampners ONLY)
(Monotube construction, full length height adjustment separate from preload, adjustable dampners)
Spring rates in LBS Front 560 Rear 448*
Stiffer then 2003 oem by F +78% R +113%*
With 336lbs rear springs R +64%*

*Ok, springs run in the rear oem location leverage 36% of their force to the wheels. Springs run on the oem dampner bodies like these coilovers, leverage a much greater amount of force to the wheels 59%.

So, do you feel that the Buddy club setup offer's $540 worth of benefits, that is of course your call.
