any one know if these coils will retain stock height??? if not how low will it lower my car on max settings

 

Part shop max/powered by max are a quality brand compared to the sea of coilovers available. While I don't know much about their z33 suspension, I know they make a great coilover that is meant to slam the car and still provide above oem performance. Alot of their ots setups are used is d1 street legal as well as drift muscle. So that alone says they are a decent upgrade. If you want to "slam" your car and still retain some performance, pbm would be the top choice. Search for reviews on zilvia and it will better explain what I'm trying to convey.

 

I DONT want to slam my car I want function or form I like the PBM's but I dont want to scrape on anything when pulling in or out my drive way. my car is on the stock 18's right now I want to swap them with some 19's and drop the car .5" to 1" put have a decent coil set up to be able to take turns with like a beast

 

OEM feel? No. All I've heard is that PBM coils are notoriously stiff along with being able to slam your car to the ground

This is a thread I found on Zilvia when I was looking into the brand:

Obviously this isn't what you're looking for. A quick search will give you the answer you seek, young grasshopper.

 

no it wont I searched and searched I even called PBM, nice guys buy they dont know **** I asked whats the height specs and minimum and max height settings and they didnt know lol I just dont wanna scrape on my drive way ahahahaha

 

And if you knew anything about coilovers you would know why they don't know or care to know.

 

^^^ Seriously. I've said all I can, "good luck" OP.

 

THIS!@!!! lol

Seriously though. Don't get coilovers for a .5-1inch drop. That's ridiculous. The easiest way to find the answer to your question, though, is to find the stock shock height and compare it to the shock height of pbm. While it isn't an EXACT science, if there's more than an inch of difference (and every coilover I'm familiar with, there's around that or more), then it will probably lower you more than 1inch. Not an exact science, but better than saying your want coilovers to lower you but not really lower you.

 

OP your trying to stay at stock height, just grab some tokico D-Specs, or Koni Yellows, you dont need nor should have coilovers

 

Actually the main reason to get coilovers vs lowering springs would be for the spring rate. Even for a 1 inch drop, mine is about that up front, but I know what I need for spring rate and need an adjustable body to change spring rates and keep my height the same.

Most people just buy coilover thinking they will magically cause their car to handle better (1 of maybe 20 on here actually get them properly setup to where they have the potential to handle better) Then the others just want then so they can really fck their car up and slam it.

 

my reason for coils is FUNCTION OVER FORM thus my want for 1 inch drop

 

Keep saving, I know of a company that was selling KW V3 at a blowout price of $1800 , the little extra $$$$ will help a lot with function. The are not adjustable body, just preload, one less thing to screw up.

 

Mmmmm 1800 is alot ahahahaha I was gonna get the pbm's and call it a day I heard good stuff about them...

 

And you will hear good stuff about Godspeed, Megan, BC , Topspeed and many other crap coilovers. If you want crap, at least order something like Feal suspension, it is the same china crap but rebuilt/revalved here in the states for the proper spring rate.

 

PBM is solid on the S-chassis. They make a great angle kit for our application as well. While I don't think you need coilovers, terra thinks all coilovers are inherently crap. But, in his defense, he knows what he's talking about. catch 22. :/
