Anyone have them? Are you happy with them? Glad you did them? They are adjustable, is the adjustment easy?

 

I'm looking to take this step soon as well.

All the posts i've seen so far seem very positive. Adjustability on the fronts is apparently very easy but the rears require jacking the car up a bit to reach the top of the shock (still not too difficult)

 

For a streetable Z, Konis are the cats A$$!

 

I agree Z33.

 

I also agree with Zee and jmark. I also added the Eibach Springs and 350EVO Sways. Got it all from my350Z sponsor www.350EVO.com

 

ya, these will be complementing some tanabe springs, and hotchkis sways. should be a great setup

 

Groupe buy

 

You will love the Koni's, excellent ride and control.

 

BoosTed tried a GB awhile ago. Never went through due to lack of people willing to commit.

 

what do the Konis cost and how do they compare to say something like Tein Flex ?

 

koni's are great if you have gone to a spring like the eibach, or tein stech set up. cost is around $680 for them and well worth the money if you all ready have springs. they will cure the bounce in the suspension caused by the dampaning effect in the stock set up.

 

What about with stock springs? I am looking to make my 2003 coupe ride more like my roadster.

 

does anyone else think that the eibachs are too low?

 

not low enough.

 

Konis and H-Techs. Awesome.

 

Just installed them along with RSR springs today! Don't know why I waited so long!!!!

 

Just purchased the Konis with the Hotchkis TVS Stage 1 Kit (Sports Springs + Adj. Sport Sways) from Greg from GSC Motorsports (GregGSC). Excellent price and service by the way! Thumbs up Greg!!!

Anyways, I've been reading up on suspension options posted on several sites for quite some time now and I've heard nothing but good things about these shocks. I'm just waiting on my sways to come in tomorrow then I can go install these puppies and actually feel first hand what these things are all about! Can't wait!!!

 

Ahhh, theirs a good reason for the differance.

Your roadster rides on a revised suspension that debuted on the roadster and made it to 2004 coupes built after 10/31/03. The revision was done to improve the ride quality of the Z. You can either locate a used revised 2004 suspension (I have the shock parts numbers on hand so you won't run the risk of buying a unrevised 04 setup). Or you could buy Koni shocks or Tokico D-specs and accomplish pretty much the same thing.

 

That's what i was looking for Gsedan35. Thank you. If the Koni's will get me what i am looking for then thats the way i will go.

 

So...what ride and handling qualities do you notice betweeen the coupe and roadster? You're implying that the roadster (later build that you have) is noticeably better in ride and possible handling. Thanks.
