ajustable shocks not coilover

kenchan · 02-07-2011, 12:19 PM

i agree. i might end up just getting KW's and set it at stock height and play with the dampers. that's wat ive been thinking lately. also will look at hypermax maybe (HKS). i dont want high spring rates on my Z.

AST makes some but be prepared to spend to get them. I have them on my car and they are great.

I have tried calling the tech department at Koni the last couple of days and have not been able to get through to someone after waiting for a while on hold. If I find anything out, I will post here.

Having just come from a fairly long hard run in my 370Z roadster,I thought I would have a look on the forum as regards adjustable shocks for the 370Z.
I noticed that at times the rear of the car feels like it needs more control as regards the shocks,as it can lose some of its composure at the rear end under hard load on an undulating road surface[such as we have here in New Zealand]which I am fairly sure is the shocks not able to handle the double rebound.
The factory have done a reasonable job with the standard ones re ride/handling but at the limit are not really up to the job,especially as my 350Z was very good in that department.
Anyway I must admit I was surprised that we have no adjustable shocks available yet for the 370Z!!,unless one goes the whole way and changes the spring/shock assembles.
I too would feel that Konis would be the best bet for a road car,does anyone have an update on that or able to offer an opinon on my comments?.
