Adjustable rear camber arms and adjustable rear toe arms: add $170.

Spring Rates: Front 10 KG / Rear 7 KG.

Yes, you can adjust the damper 18 way.

You get what you pay for...

Not sure I read your question correctly here, but if you are asking about the adjustment: you can do on-the-spot dampening adjustment...you do not have to remove the coilovers each time to adjust them.

Yes if you want to use these in a true coilover set-up...as recommended. These come complete so you will not need the bucket.

^^^ I don't see how these come complete to be true coilovers unless there is a piece not pictured?? Isn't there a control arm if something needed to replace the spring bucket?

You can purchase additional toe arms...i'm currently running the true setup and my spring bucket is there but empty. You keep it on because its your toe adjustment as well.

Ok that's what I was thinking about the toe arm. So I can use the spring bucket until I get new toe arms? Does this allow you to go lower by having the true coilover set up? Thanks for the info...

Exactly, obviously with toe arms you get more toe adjustment if you go low low...i believe oem style coilovers are capable of going a little lower than true style but ride quality and firmness is a lot better in true style which is what you'll see in most track coils...full stiff will kick your *** in true style

Is this what the Z coils look like exactly? Or is for a other car? Cause I have a question then, they look pretty `twigish` at the bottom and look cheap and easily breakable.....

We need more reviews people!!! From people that have run other coils too like stance and bc etc. I dont want another `godspeed` coilover that clunks and pops....

These are the ones for the 350Z, not another car. I can assure you that we have not had any instance of breakage...they are stronger than they look.

Not sure what all happened with GodSpeed and their products, but we stand behind ours with a one year warranty...and a great 15+ year company history.

Soooo.....if only 38 people write any review at all, even great ones, you're not buying?

I'm SURE many people will chime in with excellent reviews....

No offense taken...I was just up for a little good-natured ribbing of your comment. Again, I'm sure you will like what you hear.

Let me know if I can answer any questions or address any concerns you may have...

BOTTOM ****:


REAR:

Now Also on the rears – dampening is usually a **** that is on top of the coilovers. So some brands have what they call “extenders” So that you can mount them outside and accessible from the rear strut bar/structure.

Pic of extenders on coilovers (non 350z coilovers, just an example):

This is a nice feature. You can drill a hole on the side, on top, run with out your rear plastic strut cover interior plastics, etc…YOU DECIDE.

ALSO - Received Via PM from other member:
On some coilovers you don't really need to make a hole on the strut, you can disassemble the extender taking the top cap off leaving only the wire that can easy go through the factory whole on the rear strut bar and assemble the top part of the extender back again once the coilover is in place. Worked for me atleast.

Pic of extender poke'n through:



ALSO:

One of the things you can do is cut an access hole to access the rear dampening controls if you choose NOT to get extenders.

This is my car:


This is a 3-5-0 look-a-like drilling a hole! LoL...

With this hole, i can reach my two indexing fingers in there "sorta" and turn the **** as needed on top of the coilover.


COOL TID BIT:

There is no need to then weld a plate or anything back over that hole - as that was originally designed to be a steel stamp punch out and was to remain open during the design phase of the 350z - original Nismo and track models were gonna have adjustable rebound suspension, but was later cut due to cost savings. - source - my Nissan design engineer contacts.

Other option "IF" your coilovers have an allen key adjustment hole at the top of the ****:
T-handle Allens bought from sears/harbor freight, etc:

T-handle with Ball end will allow you to get at them at a slight angle:




ROADSTERS:
REAR:

IN THE REAR MOST BUY COILOVERS WITH BOTTOM MOUNT ADJUSTMENT dampening.

Or remove the two bolts from the fender well at the track and adjust by slight disassembly of the rear suspension.......

ROADSTER OWNERS - here is a threads where this peep was creative with the extenders.
https://my350z.com/forum/350z-roadst...extenders.html



-J
this is what i meant buy being able to adjust damping.... SO if were able to adjust on spot like you said, these coilovers come with that tool to do so, other wise, its not on spot adjustable unless we cut a dam hole in our car or unbolt them ever time......PLease help me understand
