Hope im happy with the coilover. Using common sense you woudl think teh shock and spring being together would be ideal for performance or even normal driving?

 

Then I guess you could say D2 Racing = KSport = BC Racing = Attack Racing.

The 12Kg/5Kg setup is the true coilovers setup.

The 12Kg/11Kg setup run the rear springs in the oem location.

 

The bushing is not the only issue. Resolute (member) came to the same conclution that SPL did.

In the reciept it says i got 12/11 gr+ true coilover. Are you saying this isn't avaliable and what i got what the stock location for the rear? Cause after reading that i hope i didn't get teh true coilover...

 

What I am saying, comes right off of the Stance web site.

The receipt could be wrong in two way's, the true coilover part, or the 12/11 part. Makes you wonder either way.

 

You think we are the only ones doing this?

Here is an Eibach/Callaway coilover setup for a C6 Corvette.



KW Variant 3 for c6.



It's done on BMW's as well.

Zeal Function R is a true coilover in the rear. The mentality around here used to be well if Zeal isn't doing it then it can't be beneficial. Well now Zeal is doing it. There must be a reason.

Here are the Zeal Super Funtion R coilovers. True coilover.

^^^^I like that point. IF the top of the line brand uses a true coilover for the rear they must know somethign that we don't. Since they are trying to provide the best handling charecteristics possible you woudl think they know the best possible postion to put teh rear springs and im sure they have put time and effort into this process.

 

Do the other car's how the same rear suspension as ours does?

Zeal does also makes a oem spring location setup for the Z for both the X and XS coilover. I could never find enough info on zeal to bite into to really get interested, in spite of all the shout out loud opinion's everywhere. I did notice that their truecoilover setups have really high rear wheel rates.

 

The Unitech Grand Am car Sasha purchased also had true rear coilover suspension. He is however putting the spring back to OEM location for undisclosed reasons.

JET

 

That's really odd because Unitech did the R&D for the Truechoice coilover suspension and they avoided the true coilover setup on purpose.

 

I read his statement again. And maybe he didn't say that. It's a little confusing.

Maybe Unitech went with a true coilover after the True Choice and he is going back to the way it originally was??? I think that's what it says.

The Koni Truechoice Stage 3&4 coilovers are true coilovers.

I can tell you that when BC o.e. manufactures others coilovers, it is to the requesters design specifications, not BC's design. The BC racing coilover that is labeled BC, is a BC design.

I think more than a few of you here would be very suprised at what expensive JDM brands are also made by BC as an o.e.

 

Since i dont' want too high of spring rates to bounce around everywhere on the canyons i think i want to go with 12/5 or 12/7 spring rates but i still do not know if i shoudl go OEM in the rear or True coilover

 

A well dampened shock does not bounce around at any spring rate.

JET

 

I just had an interesting conversation with Truechoice and they stated they are customer driven and will build you whatever you want. He said the Unitech team had decided on keeping the OE spring location. So there you have it.

JET

 

Sounds good caseu i took the plunge and ordered teh oem location 12/11

 

I did a lot of research into that setup before I made my own version of it, it's not a true coilover in the rear, it uses Hypercoil 5" ID rear springs on the oem location. The rear shock pictured on the Truechoice site are not from a 350Z.
