Zeal Suspension for 370z ?

B1nks, having used both the Zeals and the Clubsports and currently owning V3s, I can tell you that the other of most drivable to least drivable on the street is: V3 - Clubsports - Zeals.

Granted the biiig difference is in the spring rates that you choose. The Zeals I tested were very high rates so the car was uncomfortable to say the least.

What I don't understand is why you all think that KW is trying to replicate anything. There are very successful race cars from decades ago running KWs and there are supercars today that are running KW suspensions from the factory. KW is currently very involved in WTCC, FIA GT, LeMans, etc. I don't see any supercars using Zeals or Zeal's long racing heritage, nor do I ever hear the word Zeal outside of JGTC.

Not that there's ANYTHING wrong with them, they are excellent coilovers...I don't know that I would put them up there with the higher end Ohlins or Motons, but they are definitely good coils. Being able to pick up a set of KW Clubsports for half the price of the Zeal V6's is a huge deal breaker for me though..
