Default Stance Coilovers For 350z

Ok guys
stance coilovers are available now in both stock style configuration as well as spring shock rear.

Now..

Most of you guys had complained about the spring rates being too bad.

So i am looking for a poll
What spring rates would you like to see

For both

Oe Style
Full Coilover Rear

We will take this into account and provide some shock dyno's to the manufacturer so that we can revalve the shocks for better performance.

We at autornd are always striving for better handling more cost effective products. Please 350z owners we'd like to hear from you

12kg front 9kg rear for the full rear coilover kit.

say 10kg and 8kg for the oem style rear since most "street" users will buy that setup.

Ya'll do realize that *kg in the oem spring location vs *Kg on the coilover body are two totally different real life numbers in actual use.

oem location =39% wheel rate
coilover location =59% wheel rate

Front to rear roll stiffness rates do alter how this platform behaves dynamically. Just looking at numbers I used to side with the idea that a rear bias was the way to go. Once I did my own walk using many different rate combo's, I now side with Zeal, Truechoice and Cusco and personally prefer a front bias.

10Kg 8Kg oem rear spring location

10Kg 8Kg oem rear spring location

yea, feel the same way since driving on different suspensions for this car. to me, i feel that 10/8 is a bit on the softer side but yet more firm than oem and thats why i suggested it for the oem style suspension. i actually had hks hypermax 2's on my personal car, but i didnt care for the non-existant height adjustment on the fronts besides the preload settings. overall, the coilovers were pretty decent, but not up to par compared to its competitors.

after driving on my friends zeals (mr.b) for a bit (the stock 10/8 rates), he upgraded to coilover rear type with 16/12kg spring rates. car drove absolutely awsome, and surprisingly didnt bother me too much on the street besides the freeway expansion joints. another friend of mine, hatethatbobbarker, did the same setup with a milder setup, i think 14/12 and i have yet to drive his car again, but he says that he loves that setup.
