Wink What coilovers to get? Recommendations please!!!

I know Tein, Blitz, HKS all have coilovers for the 350Z. Any others? I know Tein is a so so company in Japan! What's a good set with height and dampening adjustability and is good for daily driving? Thanks!!!

HKS Hipermax LS Coil Overs for 350Z

Hipermax LS coilover kits are built from the same core components as the Hipermax Damper II coilovers but are tuned and valved for touring characteristics. The Hipermax LS are specifically designed for "Luxury-Sport Sedans" where improved handling characteristics are achieved while maintaining a desirable ride comfort. Hipermax LS coilover kits are threaded shock body units that utilize aluminum spring perchs for full ride height adjustability (ideal to lower or raise height for various wheel sizes). Each kit also comes with upper pillowball mounts for improved steering response and secure mounting of the spring to the coilover (competitors offer this only as an option).

Sale Price: US$1,649.99 (Regular Price:US$1,965.00)

Does anyone know if these will reduce the bounce?

i've always heard good things about the JIC FLT-A2 coilovers.

they have adjustable strut bodies so that even if you lower the car, the piston travel does not change.

they're fully adjustable in rebound/dampening, height. i dunno about camber yet.

i'm saving up for those..

I'd go Tein personally. They have almost overnight built a HUGE following in Japan and for good reason. They offer incredible suspensions at a great price. I've used the HA's and RA's on a variety of cars over the years and they have never ceized to amaze me. They are a suspension company ONLY. That's all they do and they do it well.
