Sorry folks~~~ but the SEARCH just isnt working! hope they get it back pretty soon!

anywaise~~~~~~~~

was gonna go for tanabe gf210 springs with some tokico d-spec struts!

but reading around and so on...

maybe should i just go with some cheaper coilovers?

such as :
Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Coilovers
Tanabe Sustec Pro S-OC Type-II Coilovers
TEIN Basic Coilover

dont know much about these 3 coil overs other then the price!
prices are almost same as springs and sturts!
all im really looking for is dropping the car! i like the drop the tananbe gf210 gives.

and my car is a daily driver so no harsh ride!

any input would be great cause i really dont know much about these coils and how hard/handles/stiff/quality

 

It really depends on how u want to use your Z, but with the price your going to pay for the springs and struts, u might as well dish out a few bucks for coilovers. If you look around there are some nice used coilovers u can get for cheap. Trust me when i say that if all your looking for is dropping the car, your gonna want to go lower once its dropped lol. Go with coilovers.

 

so would one of these three coil overs be better over the other?

which has the smoothes ride? for daily driving?

thanks!

 

I have been going through the same debate as of late. I came to the conclusion it just doesn't make sense for me to pay that amount of money on Springs and Struts when I can get a quality set of coils for almost the same cost.

Pretty sure I made up my mind and will be going with Stance GR+ OEM setup. I was in debate between these and BC Racing... seems like Stance has a better following and plenty of track experience. PM IntenseSales for his pricing on Stance coils if interested. I doubt you'll find a better price than his.

For the record, I would stay away from Teins. The price range can get you a better coilover in both performance and ride quality. (Not saying they're bad coilovers though)

 

coils are better for more spirited driving or tracking, but springs alone is sufficient in some cases if they have the right spring rate. using wrong rates will quicken the death of the struts.

 

anyone had the GF210 installed ? How is the ride quality compared to stock?

 

hmm thoes stance ones are made for the track?

try to keep in mind that i am going for the smoothes one possible.
i will probably never track my car lol

basically for looks only!

so thoes 3 that i had picked earlier.. and info/input?

thanks

 

check out the megan coilovers. i dont have a review for them but i got a price quoted for cheap

 

i have these springs installed on stock struts in my 05 z and i absolutely love the height and ride quality of the car, im however in the market for a set of coilovers and im stuck between the ksports, stance, and the d2's.
good luck with your decision.

quick pic of how the car looks with the gf210's....

 

I've always heard good things about the GF210s. It was what I was going to go with but changed my mind and decided to spend a little more. It seems like damn near every person that starts with springs ends up switching to coilovers, especially when they need to buy new shocks (which you will need to eventually). And almost every person that switches seems to like the coilovers that much more than the springs. instead of doing my suspension twice, or three times... I figured I'd suck it up and do it right the first time.

 

lol good idea.. but ive had my car lowered on these springs with the same struts since 2005 and the ride is just as stiff as in was in 05. maybe just luck.
like you said before just go strait with the coils from the start. and a must for a rear camber kit unless you want to replace tires every 10,000 miles or sooner.

 

Do you daily drive your car? How many miles a year?

Why are you switching to coils?

 

yeah i daily it. about 10,000 miles/year.

i want to get into tracking the car a little bit. any suggestions on coils? i was looking at either the ksports or the stance pro's.

 

I've been in debate over the Stance GR+ OEM and the BC Racing coils. Both seem to have similar qualities, however, Stance may have more track experience with high quality parts.

On the other hand BC Racing is about $150ish cheaper and I've read TONS of positive feedback on them. The quality and the oversized parts that are used seem to hold up quite well over time. Not to mention, $95 to have each one fully rebuilt isn't too shabby either (if need be).

(I'm pretty sure I'm sold on the BC's. Any extra performance I *might* get from the Stance coils isn't worth the extra money to me.) Also, for the record... I know nothing about the KSports so I can't give any info or feedback I've read.

 

im going to have to check out the BC's than. good luck on your choice selection.
