Lowering Nismo: BC or KW v3 Coilovers

ZETO34 · 07-04-2014, 12:19 PM

Hey guys I like the nismo stance but the flush stance looks so much better, so I'm wanting to go static. Which coilovers do you guys recommend? I don't want to sacrifice the way the car handles already, if anything I want to make it better. Just wanted some others opinions before I purchase

BC's are the best bang for the buck, heavy track use=KW's.

So how would the BC's hold up if I did occasional tracking? Will they hug as hard as the stock does?

KaienZ34 · 07-04-2014, 08:01 PM

They are a very good set of coils and are fine to track no problem. Unless your a track junkie you won't get that much more out of the KW's than the BC's.

Looks like i'm going BC's then, thanks for the help man

Unless you find the bomb azz deal on some KW V3's, most used BC's can be had for around 700-800 or so.

sofaking is selling his set of KWs for like $1400 or something. See if he'll ship. Or hell DEpointfive0 might be willing to ship if you make it worth his while. I've seen him do it for less than a hand job.

Ooor i've got a set of BC's that I never installed. I bought them used here on the forum with 2k miles on them, 370z,g37 BC coilovers i was going to use them with an air bag system. Instead I'm now buying DPE G's full air-strut setup, looking to get $750 shipped/PP fees included for the coils.

Check with Lance at NextLevel Performance (1cleanZ), he hooked me up on set of KWV3.

Stance with swifts.

bc looks to cheap from Taiwan I think and KW doesn't use swift, has no lower ride height adjuster, doesn't come with new top hats (have to use your own), and only OEM type setup. They look like crap to me vs a real set of coils for that price.
