G35 - have you had a chance to go for a ride in a KW equipped car? Let me know where you're located, maybe I can arrange a ride for you. They have really worked out well for us so far, and if I had to do mine over again, these, Zeal or Ohlins would be on the short list.

Enjoy the New Years !!
Adam, I haven't had a ride along in a KW equipped G or Z.

I am located 70 miles north of
KW automotive North America Inc.
1075 North Avenue
Sanger, CA 93657

I'm about 110 miles south of Sacramento and 110 miles east of the bay area.

I did find better pictures of the KW's rear springs, they do have several coil's that bind for rate change. Lower spring does sit directly in the trailing arm.

One adjustment system that adjust's rebound/compression together with 8 settings.
spring rates are 560/448 Monotube with full height adjustability seperate from spring preload.

would be nice if ohlins made a set for the G35/350Z chassis. I would invest in them. I have them on my motorcycles...and its money well spent.
