Hi guys,
I have a 350Z 200a model.
I was just wondering which shocks are the best combination for TEIN S springs?
KONI or TOKICO D spec?
HAs anyone used this combination before?

Thanks!

 

Tokico D-spec

Only reason to pay a $400 premium for the Koni's is if you will track or auto-x the car and you have specific reason to want rebound only adjustablity as a mean's to adjust track/course behavior.

If you just plain don't have to have adjustablity at all, even with the D-specs IMO, I would get Bilstein H.D. over the D-specs, Koni's, HP's and GR-2.

 

Tokico blue? maybe?

If you spend ~$700 on shocks/springs, I would rather save some more money and go for decent coilovers... otherwise just get tokico blues which only cost about $250 to replace stock shocks.

 

Tokico Blues are really meant for oem replacement only, not meant for lowered springs.

 

tokico D specs


but if you are not going to autoX or race it, go with the bilsteins and save some money


and why the S Techs?

 

if tein s tech, just use it on stock shocks. if not auto x.

 

I have a similar question on the shocks and struts. I am lowered on eibach sportlines and I need to purchase new shocks and struts for my Z. Would any brand work? I am not going to be tracking the car so I don't really need the adjustable shocks.

 

I have S-tech's on 07 OEM struts and I'm fine.

If you plan any more upgrades on suspension, I'd say you might as well go with coils like the KW V.3.. IMO

 

Like E-bay brand?? i think you shouldn't. If you have eibach sports then i would recommend koni yellow or tokico d spec

 

No I am not buying them off of ebay. I just wanted to make sure that the springs will work if I get the D-specs. I think those are the ones I'm leaning towards.
