Have you ever ridden in any other cars with coilovers?

I've ridden in plenty, and I find the Stance on the Z to be pretty smooth compared to others

What about the Cusco's?

i rode in bradleys car before and while it did ride ok (smoothness wise), i can say that i like my tein monoflex's more even with them having a stiffer spring rate.

Not 100% what my next coilovers will be. Thinking something baller though.

He is so gonna spray paint his coilovers gold like he did to his rims

Trust me, they won't be gold

ive found on smooth paved roads the coilovers are silky smooth, not even bad on slightly rough roads, however i drive soo much out in new orleans east and around the lakefront airport area, that its pretty stiff over there. i have no complaints about how they ride on the westbank or metarie. although u are right i have nothing to compare them to but what the car was stock. im sure there are coils out there that are comparable to riding on a suspension built of bricks

ohlins?, Zeals?

Thinking Zeals but that's way down the road. If I decide not to go that route, I'll probably get Bilsteins.

Considered the Monoflexes but just don't think they are for me

if i get another set of coils, i definitely want something with some electronic dampening.

I think the Tanabe's have a system now. I think some were praising it over EDFC.

It's not necessary for me. I haven't touched my dampening in months and have no reason to. If I do, it takes less than half an hour to the rears.

I'd rather have superior coilovers overall than have inferior ones with electronic dampening

I'm admittedly winging it at the moment because I hate the stock ride height on the new wheels so much.

**** can be changed later.

Greg, how do the Bilsteins & Cusco's compare?

blasian

iTrader: (29)

Talking to Adam, he said Bilstein were some of the best coilovers when it came to overall comfort and performance. He may or may not have the Cusco's on his car but you could PM him or g35sedan. They seem to have a lot of experience when it comes to different coilovers.

I haven't researched much on Cusco

looks like i'm playing bball again tonight

Wish some people in BR would play... I think me, Brett, and Mark may play this weekend some time.

It's sort of the nature of the beast. All coilovers will be stiff in one way or another. The higher end brands usually have better dampening and performance, but that is if you're willing to dish out the cash of course.

All of this talk about Bilsteins ans Zeals, do you plan on taking full advantage of these coilovers? Spend enought time on a road course to dial them in correctly? Corner balance the car?

blasian

iTrader: (29)

Yes, the Z will be my track car in a few more years which is why I said it would be a while before I looked into getting more coilovers. Even now I wouldn't feel comfortable enough to put my car on a road course because I don't have enough seat time.

If I decide to get sways this Summer, I may go ahead and get it corner balanced though.

The Bilsteins are cheap compared to Zeal
