The reason that you are getting the "floaty" feeling is because of the shock bound and rebound rates aren't paired or designed to work with the spring that you have. When you do get the kw3's you can adjust the valving to where it eliminates it. But on the other hand when you start to adjust it to be a little stiffer, your handling will change a lot. Just a fyi imho, im lookin to get the stance coilover kit here in the near future. |

That's why I've decided to go with the Koni Yellows based on the reports from the guys that have them paired with the swifts.

When you adjust em again, let me know where you get em set, since we'll have the same suspension setup springs/shocks combo.

That is funny you say that because all of our customers that we install koni's on seem to just keep their settings the same!

No firmer than stock. Just lower and handles better.
Nissan truly developed some fantastic dampening for the Z. I've never driven a sports car that rides this compliantly, being this low. There are cars with bigger wheel gaps that are much stiffer over every bump - the 370Z is simply triumphant in that regard. That's why I love this car so much. |

The swifts ride even better with 2013 euro-tuned shocks Nissan is providing with the 2013 model. Much better ride than Konica swift combo. And the twistes are awesome.

I'm sure you can make them ride the same, but it all depends on how you end up feeling the car. I like the fact that the shocks can be adjusted. Cost me $250 over the euro-tuned price.

You did not let me drive yours the last two times I was over at your house......hurt. A buddy of mines friend was visiting from out of town, not on the forum. Setup was one full turn the fronts and three clicks up from soft on the rear. They rode just like my 350z setup I had, stiff for daily driving, can you say where's the nearest chiropractor (for this old man). Like I said in my previous post it's a personal opinion and preference, me wanting a smooth daily drive. It felt like the rear was trying to keep in tune with the front. Maybe the setup was off. Again guys not to deter anyone getting the Konica/swift setup...it was just not for me. Like I said before they ride a bit stiffer and are better suited for track use. Quote:
