Yeah sorry. I need to do it right when I get home because by the time I'm back from the gym everyone is already home & its a pain to move everyone's cars out of the way. I'll do my best to get some today.

Front lip sits really low...

Thinking of dropping the rear another 0.750" to 1.000"


I'm very VERY curious about how much lower you can go..if at all. Also what size tires are you running? You're stance is very VERy close to what I want, and if you can lower the rear more....and possibly the front like another 1/2 inch...I'll pull the trigger on KW's. Otherwise I'm going to be stuck ordering the SS+'s....

I'll check tomorrow as I am contemplating on playing with the ride height. If I end up adjusting my height I'll definitely take pictures. But after tomorrow's meet I wont be taking the car out until I get my front camber arms installed & aligned.

I initially was looking at Tanabe sustec z40, Tein Mono Flex, & Cusco Zero-2 before pulling the trigger on the V3s. One of my biggest concerns with any of the budget coilovers is that I did not want to "down grade" my Nismo suspension. I know some will argue that they are better and what not, but this is just MY OPINION. I wanted to go with something proven at the track but at the same time not lose "streetablilty". Prior to the V3s I had Swifts and my only experience with any aftermarket coilovers was with my Subaru. Going from crap Megans to Cusco Zero-2s was absolutely night & day on the track. On the street, the Cuscos were STIFF and NOISEY! Everyone complained besides my fellow Subaru & Evo friends lOl. I have to say that the V3s are the best of both worlds, definately more comfortable than stock & handles the way the Z should out of the box...with some help from my Whitelines ;) But if you want to go for the slammed look, these might not quite get you there....

This is where I stand....

Kw v3's or stance SS+. I need more photos and facts around how low the KW's an go, where the limitations start for how low you can go.

From what i have seen the KWs will take it so the fender is just over the tire maybe even to the tire (run negative camber)

Typically a performance driven coilover is not going to want you to dump the car as you can start to mess with the cars handling etc. (im sure you all dumped your car on Gran Turismo and it handled like garbage! lol)

That being said, Stance i believe would be a better bet if you want to slam your car to the extreme. Performance wise the KW and HKS would be 2 really good choices that will get you a very aggressive stance while maintaining performance.

Haven't seen anyone post on these...Tanabe SOC's

Tanabe USA R&D Blog | Nissan 370Z Pro-S0C Coilover test

Link shows pics installed at max low and max high. Also not a bad price, MSRP at $999 I think...

Haven't used them before, but I'm searching as I'm planning on buying coilovers soon too.

With being an experienced KW V3 owner on my G37...I LOVE how KW's are....but they literally are riiiiight at the edge of where I want to be. I want the feel and the performance of the KW's...but I need like another 1/2 inch lowerrrr.
