Hey everyone, first I wish to say that I did use the search and found out a lot of information. Now that I got that out of the way, on to the question.
I am thinking of buying coil overs in the next week to 3 and wanted to know what would be best for me. I understand that only I can determine whats best but opinion are very much welcomed. I am not looking to spend a ton but I also do not want something that is going to break. This is for an 03 350z MT that is no longer used as the daily driver and is more of 1/3rd driver. I do not track it at all and just like to occasionally go through nice curvy rd and enjoy the car.

what would be best
1. Tein basics
2. Megans
3. D2
4.K-sports

I am starting to lean towards the Tein but I am not sure yet. please any advised or links would be great and please feel free to throw some new brands in the mix too. I am in the 1000 budget and would consider used too if they are in good condition.

 

Anyone with any ideas?

 

How much do you wanna drop it?

 

Need some better choices.

 

Better choices like what? As far as the drop, around 1"-1.5"

 

none of the above

entry level coilover choice at the $1000-$1200 price point: Eibach or Bilstein PSS

 

Ok I was looking at the eibach ones. They are reliable to use and worth the price bump?

 

I'm in the same boat. I'm getting BC Racing BR coilovers with a SPC camber kit for under $1100. Just my .

 

+1, Eibach, Bilstein, and KW are all quality coilovers. If you're having a shop do it, don't forget about budgeting for the install, an alignment, and the additional parts needed to bring everything back into spec with a decent drop.

 

I saw that bc racing deal and it has my attention. As far as install I'm having my brother help out with that and I will get alignment done as well. Do I need to re

 

Do I need to replace just the rear camber or front too?

 

Read this, it will answer a lot of your questions:

As for your front camber question:

Basically, most people neglect their front camber, however it will result in faster front tire wear, and your camber will be out of spec.

 

hmm interesting, I will take the time and read that tonight and I will read about the eibach coil overs too

 

Stance

KW V3

HKS Hypermax 3

all those while great, are also in the 2000+ range not worth it for a 2003 in my eyes, nor am I planning on tracking the car

 

You can get Stance for about a grand!

I like my megan tracks true style coilover. Pretty high spring rate and affordable performance. I know they get bashed a lot but I got a good deal on almost brand new ones so they worked out great. They're kind of "bouncy" but I don't really care just something noticeable. I'm sure if I turned down the dampening it'd be fine I just like the aggressive ride.

A lot of people will recommend high dollar coilovers but you need to step back and re-evaluate your priorities on the car, and know what your budget is. Of course high dollar things perform better, but I'm not in the time of my life where I can afford the best of the best. I just want something that works good.

While somebody was able to get 2K coilovers, I got my megan tracks, and basically every adjustable arm you could get, with bushings for all those arms. The car drives fantastic. There's a lot more to suspension than coilovers.

 

Thats pretty much how I feel about this situation. As long as what I buy works and last long enough I will be happy. Thanks for your thoughts

 

1. no where near his budget
2. no where near comparable to one another

 

Koni Yellows, sleeves, rear spring perches, and spring rates of your choosing (I'd go 500/400). Functional and inexpensive.
