Which coilover kit is the best???

azn370z · 11-12-2009, 07:34 PM

You should look into bc coilovers about $1k. You can't really go cheaper than that. There are a few here that have bc. From my research they seem to be the best bang for the buck for daily use and I haven't read any 370z having problems with them.

I will definitely look into them. Do you know anything about Megan (for about the same price)?

KW and BC coilovers really are the top two contenders in the price range for the 370z. I wouldn't recommend anything else at this level.

I have extensive racing experience with KW's on another chassis and can't even begin to explain how well these perform!

oh I like where this is going.

Also Robi, John didnt explain anything to me, all he said was that you were "not answering" us. If you do make an upgrade kit, let me know, I'd be interested most likely depending on price.

This is my lack of comunication. When I say I'm waiting I don't pester you with it's not ready yet....I notify only when I get an update.

"round figures" springs and helpers 500, revalve and repiston 150/shock. this would be for a "clusport level" suspension or you would have paid 2800 from Robispec.

I can't wait for this.. so 1100 for the works !? I can handle that whenever it's ready to go !

Are Tein Flex coilovers any good?

Yes 1100.00 + shipping is correct ready to perform the service now.

I can customise the springs depending on which tires you will be using too.

I agree, and I am being nice...you have had your car for almost a year have pleanty of support and help so I went there expecting to get killed (as we have had our car for 6 working days...and this was our first time at the track with this chassis). We were also only 0.75 back on the Import tuner project 370 with forced induction...AND a pro driving it too..I didn't "plan" all this, just was flexable enough to get out of the car let Leh drive and focus on what I do best..making the most out of the least HP. How did this happen? Leh Keen was walking by and since I know him from the East coast evo tuner shootout I asked him why he was there...to drive he says but the car blew up on the dyno.....I say want to drive "mine"? He said sure...I say well I've just thrown this setup together from my 350/g35 data...I hope it works....will you give me feedback and I'll try and make it better...We were the fastest 370 in sesion 1, got beat bad in session 2 and with the final changes and a slower track were the fastest 370z in the last session...just not fast enough to be the fastest 370 at the event....darn.. I have gon on record that the BC is a great style/ street solution (I just don't think they are a racing solution moot ymmv) we have beat their cars EVERYTIME we have gone head to head in th same classes SB even crashed "his" trying to use my braking point (but the suspension couldn't keep the rubber down) at Summit point 2 years ago...the splitter came off AFTER he went off not before...we have video...I'm not saying you or your program are bad. I am stating facts because I was soooo happy with the cars results. Please bring your "A" game every time its good for you and that's what helps this comunity...get FASTER..

No I get what your saying and I think ALL of the 370Zs there should have gone faster than they did and your Z should absolutely be faster than mine from the reasons stated in my last post. I just don't agree with your implication that it was due to the coilovers.

Scott@FontanaNissan · 11-13-2009, 08:27 PM

I was trained by the best....

Me and Robi at Gateway in St. Louis....

Robispec · 11-14-2009, 12:11 AM

ouch talking about "round figures"......

wishihadnav · 11-16-2009, 11:55 AM

i would have to agree with Robi n go with the KW's imo.

Scott@FontanaNissan · 12-23-2009, 12:57 PM

I ran the Tein Flex coilovers on my Subaru. They were an improvement over stock and I was content with them. After switching to the KW's, I realized how much more a set of quality coilovers made a difference!!! The Tein's were good in that they allowed me some adjustments...but the KW's made a world of difference! There really is no comparison between the two!
