Looking for a good suspension setup just for daily street

genki370z · 07-30-2009, 12:27 AM

im getting eibach springs for my Z, can anyone make a list of what else i will need for a good suspension setup just for daily street use. i know i will need to adjust camber and all that but i just need to kno what else i need...suspension is not my strong side lol

open to all suggestions!!!!

with eibachs you will probably be safe with just rear camber arms and a quality alignment.

For a daily driver that isn't on the track, you won't need any extra handling past the stock capabilities.

Why is this urgent????

if you get springs, GET STRUTS TOO!!!

Just like Caravanshaka said, a nice camber kit in the rear with an alignment will do fine for just springs used for street use. There are always ways to improve the handling further, but most of it would be overkill for the street.

usually for daily streets i dun recommend coilovers.. springs are enuff imho

Our standard suspension is good enough for daily use...not to hard....

If you want just put some sways on and save yourself the headache of lowering your car and dealing with camber issues.

genki370z · 08-04-2009, 01:17 AM

i see that you guys recommend a rear camber kit....but i was wondering, do i need a front camber kit too or no? will lowering it not make a big difference in camber in the front?

travisjb · 08-04-2009, 01:31 AM

agree with others for street driving stock is fine... but

these rear camber arms will do the trick if you really want more camber
THM exclusive: SPC full camber kits available! Save your tires!

you don't need the adjustable front control arms most likely, unless you're dropping the ride height... and then, you'll probably need to get coilovers... i agree with earlier post about avoiding aftermarket springs with stock dampers - unless the pair is proven to work, it's hit or miss on reliability of dampers after that... but if for whatever reason you decide to get front adjustable upper control arms, consider going with SPL not SPC... i'm a bit dubious on the build quality of the SPC parts... rears are fine, front not so much

and if you want the ability to break loose the rear a bit more easily, you can upgrade to a stiffer rear anti sway bar... stillen, hotchkis, etc... look for adjustability

again, don't think you need any of this stuff for the street!
