Moved to proper forum

o6?

 

So your only purchasing 1 coilover? lol.. use the search button.. works wonders

 

IM glad he asked this question tho because im on eibach sportlines and looking to go megan coilovers but theres not a whole lot of reviews on them. ANd to answer the OP quest and as far as what else youll need it all depends on how low you go. Anything less than 1 inch drop youll only need rear arms. Some people actually get lucky and don even need those tho. Anything more than an inch and you wont be able to re align your front end and new controll arms will be needed to get everything back into spec

 

there are far, far better choices - at the risk of sounding like everyone else, start searching there is a wealth of info

set your budget, set your goals (be honest...don't say "track" if you've never been to the track and know deep down you rarely, if ever will) - the choices narrow themselves very quickly once you honestly address these 2 things

 

My car has never and will never see the track. My z is also not my daily driver. Just want the adjustability since i change wheels alot

 

Check out like tein basic or stance LX there are comfy more for DD and alot more affordable than KW or GReddy... i have Stance GR+'s and they are pretty stiff, they also slam the car

 

what a damn question!! did you only purchase one? bwahahaha! have you heard about a letter S in the word coilovers!!!?

 

i was being an @ss... lol do you DD your car?

 

I have Eibach coilovers and they are sweet.

 

^ would be a good choice for a daily driver that wants a good range of height adjustent (Eibach allow for 1.5 inches of drop front/rear), as well as the BC Racing (which go to about 2 inches front/rear)

 

Does anyone know how far the megan racing coilovers go down ?? Are the tiens around the same price?

 

basic's let you drop the car 2.4 inches up front (2.3 on a convertible) and 1.1 inches out back (.7 on convertible)

basics: http://z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?model...ing&prodid=303

the Eibach or BC would be far better choices than either for the $$, depending on what you need in a budget oriented setup

 

What are coilovers? Do they increase horsepower?

 

o yeah... like having boost

 

BC and stance, both are good. I have GR+ pro, and I just ordered the 10k springs for the rear for little more stiffer than the 5k that stance originally offer for the rear. Both of these coilovers are great in height adjustable and perform very good on aggressive driving, drifting and partially tracking.

 

a 5k spring to a 10k spring requires alot more than just changing the spring itself - and a 10k spring on a 'true' rear coilover on this car borders on retarded assuming you're using stock bushings and anything short of an R Compound
