Buying coilovers, minus the coil ....

Ni55anPat · 01-13-2013, 11:00 PM

Does anybody know any brand that would just sell a complete coilover system, minus the springs?

I won't need the spring since my bags will be replacing that.

BC said no they don't, anybody have past experience?

I honestly dont think you would save that much in not getting springs on it. But then again any money savings is good. I mean most springs are in the $300 dollar range, you are paying mostly for the shock. Moton 2,3 and 4 ways come as just the shock with the spring perches, you choose the springs IIRC. The 2-ways should be right around $5k.

Never heard any of any brand selling it without springs. Why not just buy the BC coilovers with maybe stiffer springs and sell them. Maybe someone will want stiffer springs. I know I would want it if it fits my coilovers.

I think those are going to be shocks only with no perches.

What about the KW V3 for 370Z?

Ground Control Suspension

Ground control will let you build custom coilover kits based off of a list of parts (Koni shocks are part of the list).

Browse through logicmotorsports and you will also learn a little bit about each company.
