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 ![]() |

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. ![]()

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.

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!

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. |
