what is decent coilover for 370z?

If you are going for the track, maybe Eibach or other but for cafe racer and annoying BMW types, the NISMO shock, spring and Shocks work very nicely. See Z1Motorsports

I'm waiting for Bilstein to come out with their B12 series. They had it for the 350Z so it's likely they might develop it for the 370Z.

For what it's worth, PSS10 (B16) is out for the 370Z.

KW or BC would be my recommendation for the money. You can't go wrong with either one! And by the way...we carry both of these coilovers!!!

I would go BC, unless you are going to track then go KW

RCZ · 07-24-2009, 09:56 PM

I've always been a fan of the KW's. They perform very well on the track while still having a nice feel on the street. They are not too harsh and handle with ease

We have these available as well.

If my car were more oriented for the street, I would have taken RCZ and others up on their advice and gotten the KW's... my car is 99% track, so I picked the BC Racing ER series. KW's are probably great on the track, but BC ER seem to be designed for reliability and serviceability. I couldn't be happier with the result, plenty of adjustability and my car corners extremely flat yet remains responsive over mid-course bumps. Either way, recommend you buy from Forged or DDM!

travisjb · 07-31-2009, 02:12 PM

by the way, don't take my comment above as condemnation of the KW's... I haven't driven them and for all I know they could be the best ones for your money... all I'm saying is that for the money, I'm happy with the BC's
