BUMP to find out if any of our sponsors would like some business this week. PM me a price on the coilovers...

 

Ok, so when using this coilover, we must keep the stock rear spring in place. And these coilovers will compress the stock springs? Will using an aftermarket rear spring help?

Also, what is the minimum height drop front/rear on these coilovers? And do the pillowball mounts come with an adjustable camber plate?

 

... No. You do not re-use the OEM springs in the OEM location or anywhere for that matter.

 

.......lol, no you TAKE OUT the old OEM spring...

 

I always dismount the rear suspension to get access to the rear adjuster dials; takes me 10 minutes per side

 

rubbing is teh pimp!

 

^^I like it when the fender makes the tire smoke.

 

When using a true coilover systems like Stance or BuddyClub, the OEM rear spring must be removed. Optionally the OEM spring basket may be removed when installing an after-market control arm.

Here is a link with pictures of a true coilover system: https://my350z.com/forum/northern-california/209153-share-experiences-with-battle-version-camber-and-toe-arms-kit-pics-included.html

There is no minimum drop with the Stance coilover. The height is fully adjustable, so you can go higher than stock or slam your Z.

I've set my Stance coilovers to 1 inch lower than stock.

The Stance pillowball mounts does NOT come with camber plates. You may purchase adjustable control arms to correct camber & toe.

Thanks a lot dewuser.

 

Can any owners give an update on these?

 

A bit soft for my tastes, but overall... they're great.

 

Can you be specific on what you don't like about them and what you would change?

 

I just wish they spring rates were higher thats all. Its 12k front and 5k rear. I think a 14k front and 8k rear would be best. Springs are cheap anyways, you can get them from stance for 50 bucks a spring, and rate you want too.

 

Really? A couple pages back, some people wanted 10kg front 6kg back. So the stock springs are good for daily driving and occasional track use?

 

So when you dismount the rear coils to adjust the dampening, you have to get an alignment again, right? Or will everything be ok as long as you don't change the ride height?

 

No need to realign the rear. You only drop the three top strut mount bolts, then turn as you need and bolt the 3 right back up again; the 3 bolt points and 3 bolt holes on the strut fit snug, there is no alignment change after dismount/remount to adjust dampening ****

 

Some before and after shots...

 

Very nice. Reviews?

 

So far I'm very pleasantly surprised by the streetability of these coilovers. Yes, you can tell you aren't on your OEM suspension but only when going over extremely large bumps.

I took it for a spin on some back roads that had plenty of uneven pavement and going over bumps was not an unpleasant experience at all.

I'm saving my overall opinion until I get a chance to push them to their limits at PIR. After my next HPDE session, I'll put up a full review...

 

Cant wait to get mine in later this week. I will give a review after a bit of testing.
