yellow speed racing coilovers

eliboy

Hi all,

Is anyone running yellow speed racing coilovers for track car or at all and can give a review about them? From what I know BC racing is the big dog when it coming to coilovers (maybe I am wrong but this according to what I see and read) I got a good price on the 2 way kit but I can’t find a lot information out there when it coming to 370Z (even not 370Z it hard to find info).

Let me ask 2 questions:
Is anyone running them and can give a review?
What will you pick? BC (ZR) or Yellow Speed?

Thanks guys

Unknown brand with no info

Or

Any of the proven options

BC is entry level man
Along with Fortune, PowerTrix, Stance, Kw

If you are in the $1500 range you are entry level

If you are paying significantly less than that you are sub-entry level and better off staying stock and saving

Also if you are lowering the car you meed adjustable arms to fix camber, caster, and toe

I am sorry if I did not gave all the information.
I am looking at BC ZR https://www.z1motorsports.com/suspen...g-p-10320.html
Today I was at formula drift and seen yellow speed racing USA there. They are sponsoring some of the cars.

Not looking at entry level at all, my car is a TT fully build for the track.
I did install all this parts (car still on he lift):
SPL Front Upper Control Arms
SPL Titanium Rear Toe Links
SPL Titanium Rear Camber Links
SPL Titanium Rear Traction Links
SPL Eccentric Lockout Kit
SPL Solid Rear Subframe Bushings

I am not a drifter, but I do track nights mostly and looking for coilovers that will fit my needs. Also it is not my DD.

Hope this will give more information

I think I would look into fortune auto if I were at the level your looking. Built and serviced the US (with Taiwan parts, nothing wrong with that) and can be custom specced for you and your needs.

JRZ has a few options out there; pending on seriousness & price range.

At that level you should look into AST, Aragosta, or Ohlins

I stumbled upon YSR when I checked the racing coilovers available for dc5, they look like a big player in Europe, it is a Taiwanese company and they have extensive research on Honda platform like ep3, dc5, fd2 and sponsor some pro drifter. I think I will go with it for my race car as a start, they are a control coilovers on a racing series in UK and has many good reviews, at least for Hondas.


Anyway, I don't know much about their work on 370z, but there is other companies that have been more involved with us and they should have better products, also go with something that have support locally.

Thank you everyone, I don’t know how much it is possible for me to go over $3000 for coilovers. Don’t get me wrong, I am not question the quality or if there are better then BC.

I am a family man and I don’t see the track as much as I like to spend $4.5k to $8k on coilovers.

Up to $3000 what will you recommend?

YSR have now a USA based company (still developing and creating everything in Taiwan) so I will be able to get the needed support. But I can’t find reviews in the USA for them.

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.

First you said you track the car then you said you don't....which is it?

Fortune Auto will get you in the 1500 range and sounds like you aren't going hard enough to need the next level

It is a track car and don’t DD it. But with that said I am not going to the track as much as I like. I am doing up to 10 events (if I am lucky) a year.
I have a full time job and a family so it not like I can go when ever I like.

Don’t get me wrong, I wish I was able to go more and I may be able to go more as my kid get older but for now I am going as much as I can not as much as I want.

Thank you for your help don’t get upset with me I just trying to select the right option for me.

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 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
