based on the reputation as a company. i read a bunch of review that people gave them on bimmers and audi's (couldn't find anything on the 350z). I'm not saying they're the best handling coilover in the world, just the they were designed for handling and not slamming your car for the next HIN.

if they are the same ones listed on tirerack's website, it says that they will drop 2 inches front and back.. thats pretty much slammage.

The springs are progressive, IMO progressive springs aren't great for handling as they allow excessive body roll before the higher springrates kick in. They also appear to adjust height by changing the preload on the springs, like the way the tein basics do it, not the best design IMO

i don't mind the progressive spring cause i still wanna maintain decent ride comfort for the street. it will be less body roll than stock, and thats fine by me. I'm not building a hardcore track car, just a street car that i'll use on the track also. my main point was that they're more aimed at impoving handling, not slamming your ride.


I'll do a review after I get an autox on them, i'll ask peter (first350, trophy winner at nationals in BSP) to post his review on it also

i think these will fit the bill. but not having any personal experience with them yet i cant really tell you for sure. I'll be selling mine if it turns out that they have a harsh ride. there is a guy on the brakes and suspension forum that has them, i asked about ride quality, still waiting on the response...

Hey now... no guarantees on how low I go. I need to still be able to drive the car and at least make it over moderate speedbumps.
