don't know if u didnt notice this part, but if u could answer this, that'd be great

 

I probably spent a good couple of days dialing in my suspension to what I have now. Just trying different settings to and from work.

My Zeals are 30 way adjustable. There are way too many variables to get it perfectly right for every situation. So I tried only a couple simple settings like 0/0, 5/5, 10/10, 15/15, 20/20, 25/25, 30/30. 30 being stiffest. The softer setting didn't work that well and I had more bounce in the suspension than I wanted. I settled on 15/15, 17/17, 20/20 depending on my driving that day.

You can get really technical about if you want and try 15/20 with a stiffer rear and softer front which will give you more traction up front and induce oversteer. Or you can go the opposite with 20/15 to get more traction in the rear and induce understeer.

It all depends on how you want your car to handle and how much time you want to spend tweaking the suspension.

 

for sure! but the only zeal super function worth getting is the type c or better

zBear: did you buy these from kevin?

 

Yeah, I had a chance to test drive Kevin's Zeals and the Arsh's KW V3s last time I was down in SoCal and ended up going with the Zeals since they are more to my driving style. Both Kevin and Arsh are really cool guys and were really great in helping me decide on my current setup.

Reading suspension reviews pretty much sucks since you don't have real world time behind the wheel to make the right decision.


Anyone here who needs a Brand New set of awesome Zeal Function X, daytona350z has a set for sale. I guarantee you that these will not disappoint.

That's not true, but if you want to believe it go ahead.

 

i had that setup for a week.....just as described above THEY SUCK and are PROGRESSIVE!

i am looking into RS*R springs now.....

 

tanabe springs are progressive and the stock springs are linear...no WAY progressive springs will EVER be better that linear.

ALL coil over kits come with linear springs and that is saying alot.

 

your kidding right?

i HAD this setup and its not even safe for daily driving!!!!!!

 

it helps if you quote the post your replying to. (unless your talking to yourself?)

 

 

I'm curious what would be the equivalent to the KW V3 but allow you to lower the car more? I'm sold on the V3's, but I would need the car lower that what they allow.

 

+1

I've have to agree, this setup was scary as hell to drive.

 

I don't they there is an equivalent to KW V3. These are the best compromise of a race track suspension, but with comfort and cushion of a luxury suspension.

It's possible to lower the rear of the KW V3 another 1/2" if you cut the rubber spring mount.

See here:

But remember you're also changing the stroke of the piston by lowering it more. And therefore the dampening might be changed as well.

 

The V3 can be dropped 0.8-1.5 front and rear. IMO thats plenty for daily driving.


I also have the GF210 with stock shocks and the ride is cool until you hit the FWY then the car feels like its floating on top of the ground. Very wobbly and unsafe but I got used to it. When driving on any road and hit a crack, pot hole, overpass joints, it hops and shakes. Its a clean drop for little money but I'm already looking for coilovers to be honest.

My car for those that are interested in the clean drop. I'll say the rear dropped a little baby bit after putting 15k miles on them.

 

the KWs don't use the original rubber spring mount. It comes with it's own adjustable metal spring mount that sits in its place and is used to adjust the height. There's a sentence in the manual stating to keep the lowered height between -0.8" and -1.5" even though I am sure it can go lower than 1.5". I do not know the reason for that though.
