ajustable shocks not coilover
 
I want to change damping not my springs or ride hight. it there anyone (koni?) making shocks that i can ajust? I thought about pulling the coils off a set of coilovers and just use the body.

Yah I think both hitachi and Koni are still under development.

I am waiting for Koni to release their adjustable shocks for the 370z since I absolutely loved them on my last car (Koni yellows).

I have Tokicos but I'm about to swap them for Koni Yellows. :D

I'm surprsied they don't have them out for the 370 yet. It can't be too much different than the 350 ones...

oh shitto, mustang found my post. HELLO~! :D

;)

yah, im happy with my D-Specs on my G35C. yellows feel good too... only thing with those is sometimes you have to do a little adjusting to get them to fit and only rebound adjustable. for stock or linear springs that's great, but for most folks that use with progressive rate springs bound control is also very important even if it's simultaneous with rebound.

I'm looking at the D-Spec and Yellows. D's are like $200 cheaper but I know the Konis are more highly regarded and it's much easier to adjust the rear shocks on the Mustang with the Konis vs. the D-Specs. My suspension guy is recommending them (along with linear springs) but I just have to wait until they are off backorder... they aren't shipping from Holland until mid-March! :shakes head:

I'm confused on why there is such a delay because G37 has been out even longer than the Z and there's no adjustable shocks for the G either afaik... I'm happy with my drop on tein springs, and would love to go the adjustable shock route rather than getting coils.

kenchan 01-28-2011 10:30 AM

ahh, sounds good. yah on my G35C i have to lower the shock down from the well to access the adjustment screw. i know some folks drill holes and put an extender and that's a great idea for track folks but for me i played with it for about a month or so and kept it at that stiffness.

honestly speaking i think D-Specs are more for street and Koni's more high performance. the damp capacity on Koni's appear to be much higher. i mean you can shake a old man's tooth loose with koni's in full stiff. with D-Specs at max it's stiff but not super stiff like how my coilovers could do. :D not that i'd setup the car that way.

m4a1mustang 01-28-2011 10:32 AM

I definitely want easy adjustment so I can have a smooth ride to ZDayZ and then amp it up once I get there. :D

tanking economy, missed the boat, probably.

tokico went bankrupt and bought by hitachi but is hitachi really doing all that great?

i dont know about koni. im sure they're hurting too.

I think Hitachi is alright. They are a HUGE supplier. Half the crap on my car is made by Hitachi. :icon17:
