Koni adjustable shocks affect ride height on 370z?

coffeebob · 03-14-2014, 08:10 PM

My last car was a BMW E46 sedan. I used to have the stock sport shocks + ACS springs, and then the ZHP shocks + ACS springs. The front bumper would scrape the curb from time to time.

But once I replaced them with the Koni Yellow adjustable shocks (keeping the ACS springs), it no longer scraped the curb. The Koni raised the car by about 1/2 inch.

So I wonder if anybody has experience with the Koni on the 370z.

if I remember right from reading about them with swifts, they lower the car about half an inch more than just swifts. No 1st hand experience here, so hopefully someone who does can confirm.

I got Swifts put on at the same time as the Konis, so I'm not sure of the exact difference. That said, here's a pic to help you out.
