I have an 07' Touring and recently purchased the Cusco front and rear sways for it. Next step is for me to upgrade the suspension. I have read a lot of good reviews on the BC coilovers and want to purchase those. So my question is that with these sways will the combination of them with the BC's be a good pair?


My goals are to have it as a daily driver and every other weekend I'd say autocross it. Opinions and suggestions are very much welcomed. I am open to all suggestions.


Thanks in advance for your help.

 

The BC racing coilovers are great! I've been running on them for about 3 months now and have no complaints. Check out my page to see how they sit on stock rims.

 

All depends on your budget really and what you'll be using them for. I've heard good things about the BC's but I've never had any experiences with them.

There are some NOLA and BR owners that have BC, Stance, Tein, Cusco and KWs. May want to decide on what you want to spend and take a ride in a few of them before you decide for sure.

 

I like that stance...I'd probably have the rear a tiny bit higher but I like it! How is your ride quality? Do you have upgraded sways?

Right now I've been debating on the BC's and Cusco sways. You know the members here that have those on their cars so I could get in touch with them?


EDIT: Spendature is not of an issue. I make decent money right now being at LSU and have patience to buy the good s*** and not settle for less

 

You have PM.

The more parts you throw at your car will not make it handle better. I found out the hard way when I paired Cusco sway bars with RS*R springs.

There are two theories on fixing the 350Z's natural understeer. Stiffen the rear anti-roll (sway) bar or stiffen the rear springs. Stiff rear springs and a stiff rear anti-sway bar together is a recipe for disaster. Although it seemed to handle well at low speeds, the extra stiff rear could be unpredictable and could let go at the limit. I went back to stock sway bars, but this only made the car handle slightly better then stock. Luckily, springs are cheap, so I sold them.

I finally got wise and bought the matching coilovers to my sway bars, which has given me a great handling car. If someone wants to upgrade sway bars, I'll suggest they buy the ones designed to match their suspension (coilovers or springs) or at least ones with a lot of adjustability.
