Nismo
I'm happy with the NISMO. I had an Infiniti G35 Coupe with Aftermarket springs, shocks and sway bar. Quite aggressive. Harsh ride. Get a back ache after long drives. My 300ZXTT had suspension upgrades also but was great to drive. The 370Z is a daily driver, so I want good handling but want to be able to stand up after driving for a few hours. Hey, to each his own.

With the KW's, do you have the option to choose spring rates when ordering? Also, do you need to buy a camber kit (or is it included)? I've heard good things about KW. Any abnormal noises at all?

With the KW V3, you can adjust the damping... but only when it's off the car. |

Really? Every time you want to dial in a change they have to come off?!?

From what Im reading,..you gotta turn a dial with a hex wrench at the bottom of the shock for rear and strut up in front..
I really think this is kinda hum bug and wish they'd encorporate a turn dial for easier tuning..Same goes for the top adjustment for the z....I think a top adjustment dial is available depending on model.. |

Do I need to get the spc front & rear camber kit? I have the Kw V3's coming this week, but don't plan on lowering it too much, prob just .6" lower then stock.

That's false. I change my rears from time to time without them coming off. The fronts are a different story because of poor design you are not able to get to the lower part of them due to suspension components in the way. If they would have rotated the access point 180 degrees you could..or maybe it's 90 degree. I can't remember but if they pointed it towards the car then you'd be able to. A spring rate can not be recommended from KW, to my knowledge, but if you're looking to do something like that then get them from ROBISPEC and he can do something like that I believe. I will be sending mine in to ROBISPEC when I get the funds. |

Looks sick man, judging by your pics I'm surprised you don't scrape EVERYWHERE in Houston haha. I am also surprised you said there is no rubbing because that looks about the same height I had my front at one point and on bumps or irregularities on the highway, that caused the car to dip, the tires would rub that fuking fender liner bump. I'm personally trying to figure out a remedy for that. |
