best daily driver coil overs
 

Looking to buy a set coil overs but I want the best ride quality, don't want to feel every bump in the road or the wife to complain every time I want to take my car where ever we go any where. What do u guys recommend and what are your settings. Also I want to drop an inch and use these bad boys at the track occasionally.

thanks in advance:tup:

Search.

KWv3.

You should mention your budget. No sense in dreaming of Penskes on a Tein budget.

Budget is about 2k I have search just want to hear feedback from ppl that actually have the product

I really like the BC Racing ER Series coilover that I have. These are in the mid range coilover category, with the KWv3. They offer enough rebound adjustment to change from super stiff track to soft like OEM. Rebound is super easy to adjust and they have remote reservoirs which are also plusses. I have not tried anything else on the Z so I can't compare but I have had lots of coilovers in the past on other cars.

NONE...

I have stock suspension. A friend of mine has the KW3s.

You feel EVERY pebble under you and potholes are retarded.

Just my opinion though haha

Ever thought about going with Swift Springs and Koni Yellows? Though they're not coilovers...Swifts by themselves improve the ride over stock exponentially. My car rides smoother now than it ever did on stock springs. If you want a bit stiffer ride...you can pair them with the Koni shocks (which are adjustable by the way) and then dial in your stiffness.

Edit: Going with this combo will cost you around half of what you're budgeting. Then you can throw the extra money into other mods. :)

You could always go with Tein Superstreet or Monoflex then add the EDFC system then it can be al adjusted to suit the conditions of any surface road or track !

I was quite happy with my BC ERs as well. The ride is waaaaayyyy better on the JRZs but the BCs were similar to stock on full soft.
I should have my old set of BC ERs up for sale shortly... Cheap too! :)

I would love to try the Koni yellows as well. My 350Z has them but I may go back to stock suspension before I actually hit the track with it.

Koni Sports (Koni yellows as most people refer to them) are pretty low end shocks IMO. While they do the job okay they typically don't offer the amount of adjustment needed. I've used their higher end stuff like the Koni 2812 and while it is made strong it just doesn't compare well to the other high end shocks like Penske and JRZ.

Hmmm. Get ride of the wife issues and get what you want?

Till she gets fed up and makes him sell the car. Lol

^^I agree but I would also like a comfy ride. I understand you get what you pay for. So if they coil set is worth it then I will pay to play which is why I posted this... I want to hear feed back from people who actually have the coils rather than a sales person who is making a commission off of the sale.

KWv3 - hear nothing but good things...

Thoughts on the HKS hypermax 3s? I heard the 4s are out now too.

:iagree:

Couldn't agree more with ya :tup:

In your sig, you went with 15mm H&R spacers; that's DRS one right? To avoid any vibrations?

I'm thinking of going 20mm in the front, and 25 in the rear with base wheels i already have the 25mm Ichiba spacers I can use for the rear.

Let me know if you've got any vibration issues btw, otherwise I'll pull the trigger on the 20mm DRS.

If your interested I have a set of BC ER coil overs w/swift racing springs 10k front 9k rear also revavled by Scott @ relentless auto ,2000 miles on them they are now in the original box I paid 2495 for if you are interested pm me and I'll give you a killer deal.:tup:

:iagree:

:tup:

what about a good strut/spring option?

I have BC on my sentra and no complaints(I had Ksports before and it is garbage). 7k/7k. My Z is still stock though :(

I had bc on my g35 and hated 'em...car was too bouncy at all the way soft and tried different settings and couldn't get a comfy ride... couldn't find a happy medium..

That is the problem often with the lower end shocks, no adjustment for compression and not enough adjustment of rebound to be able to be soft for the street and firm for the track. With my BC Racing ER series I have 12k front, 10k rear Swift springs and it literally feels like stock on the soft settings.

Hey bud!

I have them installed for over 8 months and not once have I felt any vibration with them. I say pull the trigger man...you'll be really happy with them!

KW V3, thing is if you dont know what your doing when it comes to the damper settings, or you dont know someone who does, then you can easily make them ride like crap if you playing with the settings with no knowledge or experience. I can get a V3 to ride worse then a chinese coilover if i wanted to with improper rebound and compression settings, but at the same time you can get them riding better then stock when they are setup correctly

1 .5 years running h&r spacers 20/25 and no vibration. Just get h&r on all four corners and call it a day.

:iagree:

:iagree:

Z1 20/25mm no vibrations after 3 months and the setup is perfect. BC BR coils...ride is ok for setting on medium. Nothing to write home about.

I had H&R and had vibration changed to Z1 all is well:driving:

And you run on two wheels around the track....j/k
