I have a 2003 350z and it's that time for a new suspension set up. My Z is my daily driver but I drift it occasionally. So I want a decent suspension to drift but I have a under $1350 budget.

So what coilovers or shock/spring setup do you think will be best for me?

And Kw Variant 1 vs. Koni Yellows shocks/(?) springs?

 

shocks/springs.. best price for a daily and the value of the car, IMO or get a decent brand used set of coilovers

 

Kw aren't a decent brand of coilovers?

 

yes, id go cheapest route unless you will ever turn this into a track car

 

I'm no expert but I don't think KW V1's would be the best choice for drifting.

 

I do plan on turning my Z into a full time track car..

 

Keep saving, buy suspension once then.

 

Personally I wouldn't go cheap on suspension. But I feel like Stance coilovers will do for this situation. But if you wanna be a baller buy some kwv3s or HKS hipermaxxiii sports.

 

Than learn the stock suspension first OP. Once you do that and you see how the car reacts to your driving abilities than you can worry about upgrading your suspension to track ready products, till than, dont cheap out on coilovers.

The KW variants 1 are great but only if your going to stay with those for a while, it would be wasted money if you wanted to upgrade them further.

Also stance, bc racing, raceland, etc are crap. dont use them for the track.

 

If you want to drift... PoweredByMax makes coils in your prices range http://www.partsshopmax.com/page.php?24 they're notoriously stiff and still made in Taiwan but I've heard nothing but good things in the drift community about them.

Do you also have a budget for the complementary suspension components you'll need (FUCA's, rear camber arms, toe bolts or toe links (depending on rear setup), etc.)?
