Need suggestion on choosing the 350Z coilovers

Zaccar · 02-05-2020, 07:03 AM

Hi Guys,

I have a Nissan 350Z, I am looking for some coilovers to replace the OEM ones. I found some coilovers on eBay, which looks very good and the price is amazingly low. The only concern is that their rear springs and struts are in one unit, but my OEM ones are separated. I am told the one-unit rear coilovers are better, is it true? If I use their coilovers, do I need to do some modifications? I mean if the installation will be much more complicated?

Thank you very much for any suggestions from you guys. Have a great day

350z forum has the answer you are seeking.

OptionZero · 02-05-2020, 01:55 PM

how can we be sure what car he has?

profile says BMW E3
post says 350z
this forum is for 370z

conclusion:
he drives a camry

2 posts since he joined in 2018. I don't think we have to worry about him coming back to check on this thread.

Just in case:

Buy the cheapest ebay suspension you can find. In fact, use hockey pucks for springs. They will give the best ride quality.

But look at his avatar. Curveball!

I don't think he knows what he drives.

Asked and answered. Lots of information out there. And an eBay kit is not good. When it's clear that you have made absolutely no effort and are just looking to be spoon-fed information that is easily found, you're not going to find much sympathy on this forum. Be polite and ask specific questions and show interest in learning or at least a basic level of intelligence and courtesy and you'll get a much more positive response.

Fortune Auto 500s or 510s would be my suggestion.

Quicksilvers · 03-20-2020, 05:44 AM

Since the OP did not say what his budget is I vote install Fortune 500 coilovers overall excellent quality coilover for the coin spent if you don’t plan on spending a small fortune on coilovers. Nice part about the Fortune 500’s is they can be rebuilt. OP what is your intended use?
