Lowering Options... downunder

gromano

Hey fellas,

Just wondering what people in Aus have done in regard to springs/coilovers and lowering their Z's...

Everyone seems to go for the Eibach kit who isnt worried about tracking their cars... anyone got them? How much did it cost all up to get them in Australia and fitted?

I know some people are looking for coilovers too though, hmmm too many options?

Group buys anyone??

HI Grom,

I've got the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs and Eibach Pro-Alignment Rear Camber Kit on and it is REALLY low (a pic is in tht black 370z thread).

I purchased it through Margaret at Stillen (fantastic lady to deal with!) and the prices are: Springs = $231USD, Camber = 166.07USD.

I am unsure how much to install as I got mine done with spacers.

I hope this helps..

Thanks Majestic.
+1 rep for you :P

So you bought it from STillen US direct im assuming? How much was postage and the likes?
IS the camber kit really required with the springs do you think? Does the camber kit make it lower or did you get it coz the tyres were wearing thin.
ITs my Daily Driver so dont want anything too crazy that will chew rubber! But want it lower!!!!! :S hmmm

Majestik

It's my daily driver too mate! My plastic lip is a little worn but it's nothing I can't clean up with a bit of sand paper...

You definately need the rear camber kit!! You can't dial it in enough with the stock setup. Fronts are not required.

Purchases were from stillen direct who shipped it free to my bongo address in Connecticut. From there I bundled it with a heap of stuff and sent it here. Not bloody cheap! Especially with the customs fees etc.

My advice is to order direct from Margaret and get her to fed ex off-peak to your address. If you ask her nicely, try asking her to include a letter stating materials and made in USA (which will bypass most customs charges as
we have an embargo with the US).

When I stop driving my car, and the weather gets better, I'll take a heap of pics and update my journal.

Cool thanks majestic. U got a link to that photo u speak of?

Just checked out Stillen website....
Lowering kit (springs) is $231
Alignment kit (Rear Camber Arm) is $166
Alignment kit (Rear Toe Bolts) is $46

Wat the heck are the rear toe bolts?? Are they needed too?!
My $250 lowering job just doubled in price hahah

ps how hot is the new front fascia of their body kit! Im almost sold!
STILLEN : STILLEN 370Z Body Kits & Aero Components
Dont think it comes painted though? bit sad... :S hmmm
Wonder how much shipping on that would be too

Majestik

No, do not buy the toe bolts seperately as everything you require will be in the rear camber alignment kit.

The thread my pic is in is: Black 370

It's the small pic that I posted but it expands.

I'm not a fan of the stillen kit as I have my heart set on getting the amuse
kit over (hopefully next year).

I might just go for the Nismo coilovers.

Our cars alright sit very low. The Nismo coilovers only drop it by 10mm

I'm always after the best street driving performance for the real world.

Hey Majestik,

Seen that you are the suspension expert, would you recommend the camber kits for someone who has the occasional track day on standard suspension? I don't want to lower the suspension, but want to make it use the tyres a little better on track.

Majestik

I'm honoured that you think I'm an expert but I'm the least mechanically minded person you'll meet!

I'm afraid others like evan, bgtv8, waqar etc can help you more with your query.

So u got spacers on there too? :P

I would LOVE the amuse kit too but seems like way too much money...
This stillen one is perfect just with the front I think. Gonna leave everything else stock. I dont think its painted but! That sucks!!
and how the heck can i ship a body part that big over though!!? :S any ideas?

Majestik

There's a thread on the stillen kit. I believe that it ships in quite a few
pieces..
