if funny how people bash a new product, but haven't tried it them selfs. im not that ignorant. ive had stock shocks and lowering springs, and driven a z with aftermarket shocks and springs. the gen 4 500 series feels a lot better. have i driven ones with 3k coilovers, no. but i dont imagine it being 3x better then what i have.

You can probably get a set of ohlins 5 ways for 7 or 8 grand used. All else is junk!

I had a set of Stance GR+PRO w/SSD ($1485).

Junk though!

Looking into PBM at the moment!

I like mine, I guess ill just have to deal with having one side set a lot lower than the other. And with a half a tank I'm balanced now, so maybe with a full tank it'll be proportional with the spring settings. We'll see.

From junk to junk. Don't do it.

That's a half-hearted joke, but seriously there is a recent discussion from "GSedan35" about the PBMs and from his account they are junk. It's in the thread you bumped yesterday. I'm not trying to jab at you, but I respect his advice when it comes to suspension. It seems there are better options for just a tad more money.

I'd group those two into roughly the same category. The PBM/PSM coils do look pretty intense though being gold/copper.

Sell your stance stuff, and buy some KW V3 or Clubsports, then your all set.

Clubsports might be a bit much for the average consumer. Great set of coils though.

I don't think his car is average, then of course Clubsports wouldn't be a downgrade from the OEM Nismo package unlike the coilovers he has and wal looking at buying.
