yellow speed racing coilovers

One more thing I will like to add, I don’t know how to select the right settings for damping and rebound as I never did it before. If one of these options will make my life easier I may consider to go over my $3000 budget.

So, what is it that you look for in the coilovers? What's not good enough about the stock setup?

Sorry, you are looking to change the suspension, but you don't seem to know what the adjustments actually do.

Edit: The ZR you look at is 3 ways adjustable (rebound, high/low compression)....if you aren't familiar with setting compression and rebound, plus the SPL arms, the infinite combinations will just make it easy for you to make a fine mess.

I do understand what coilovers will give me (just answered what I am looking to do) but I don’t how to do it myself.

For example there are 30 clicks from soft to hard, I don’t know how to pick the right but it do not say I can’t learn. I do believe there are pepole that can guide me and after I will play around with it I will find the right setting.

I am not a pro and not claims to be but I am always looking to learn something new and expand my knowledge.

Thank you! So if this the case where do I start? I was looking at the ZR because I did not want to get one set and replace it after a year or two but I may need to go this route.

I am doing this for fun and fun only. Being going to track days for a few years now. This is the first car I ever mod and take to the track. I did took some driving lessens on the track to learn how to control the car better and how to take the right lines.
The first nod that I did to the car was TT (please let not go into if it was a smart first mod I can tell you it want but it a blest to drive). I am not try to go computation route by any means only to have more fun on the track and get the best out of my car as I can. I will say I am mid level driver and hope to go up as time pass.

What I don’t like about the stock setup are:
Body roll
I do think it is to soft for the tack
I want to lower my car 1” to 1.5”
Have better control over tow and camber

Maybe someone else can chime in.... none of these complaints really relate to the shocks, or require adjustable shocks. Swift lowering springs and Hotchkis front bar will reduce the roll and lower your car. And of course SPL arms eliminate all the rubber bushings, which means keeping alignment on the correct curve.

Of course, if you are going to upgrade to coilovers anyway, then some may say just skip the lowering springs step.

Thanks for the input! I was told by one of the big and well known shops (I don’t say the name as I am not looking to give anyone a bad name for my little knowledge in this subject) that I need to go with coilovers. They are the once that help me with the bussing and all the spl parts.

Do you think this is a bad advice? Now I am kind of must go true coilovers at the rear as I installed all the SPL parts.

Ah I skimmed over the fact that you are no longer running the midlink....is the ZR true coilover in the back? Most of the aftermarket coilovers for 370z are the OEM/divorced type.

Going SPL is never a bad thing though, especially for a track toy.
