Depends on what you're doing. If you just want to slam your car, go with Stance or D2's. If you want to slam your car and still be able to track it, HKS Hipermax.

D2 are hands down the most garage suspension I've ever driven on. My friend had them on a Z32 and my god did they suck

That's not entirely true. I bought my Zeal SuperFunction A for $2800. Most of the SuperFuntion models come in below $5000.

Looking at coilovers witch one would you pic and y
Stance p3 cusco zero 3x bc er series kw v3 or jrz rs series also im on 20" rims
Thankx
If your just interested in lowering the car then don't get coilovers. The cheap ones leak. The valving isn't matched to the spring rates. They aren't put on a shock dyno. Just install a set of Eibach springs and be done with it.

Yeah... I got discouraged for a while and had to overcome some issues concerning my health. But I'm healthy again and I have a new found relationship with my Z! Thanks for asking.

Read my post again....I was stating that his list of shocks goes from 1200-2000 then jumps to 5,000 for the JRZ's.

I say that in full awareness of shocks costs for the Z.....

Since we're all about coilovers here, I've got some cash saved up to replace my Tein SuperStreet for some track worthy coilovers. I've recently started attending time attack competitions, in addition to autoX (for fun) and open track days.

I'm not really a track junky but I do go to the track. I've set my eyes on the KW V2's but im not sure if the extra $$$'s is worth spending on V3's? I beleive V3 will give you an option to adjust Compression as well but will it make that much difference in terms of performance?

Right now I got:
Swaybars, 275 square setup (street tyres). I'll be getting front camber arms soon.

Why has no one mentioned HKS Hipermax or Tein Monoflex?
