They built my car. It works fine, but if I had it all over to do again I sure as hell would go somewhere else.

Hey John can you send me the same PM? Thanks. And I don't know much about their setup but for $5,000 I could think of quite a few setups that should be more then capable on the track.

Damn my post got lost when the board went down. Let me try this again:

If I was going to spend anything close to $5,000 my first choice in suspension would be the Ohlins setup. For the money there is nothing better. And its only $2790: http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...ng&prodid=2155

If you are set on having external resevoirs the KW Variant 3 has them and they are also some amazing units. They are even cheaper at $1890: http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...ng&prodid=2046

Aside from those two units I have some personal experience with the HKS RS setup and the Bilstein PSS9 setup. I have the HKS setup on my car and have driven the Nissan Performance Mag 350Z with the Bilstein set up a few times. So far I have to say I am incredibly impressed with the Bilstein stuff. Much more so then my HKS setup. Had I not gotten such a good deal on mine I would have bought the Bilsteins: http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...ng&prodid=1180
At $1689 these are a bargin. Here's a good article on the Bilstein setup http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/april06/350z_turbo/

psh....vrt just uses off the shelf part for all their stuff. i believe they push the Stance coilover for the suspension upgrade.
