i want to just stiffen up the dampers a tad more. coilovers are overkill for me on this car, but if i dont have any choices, then i will probably do the KW's for durability and ride quality.

damn I want coils for the Z let alone DD

I had them on Z32 once they were installed the car was a whole new beast

really? Im very fine with the stock setup + front kangaroo swaybar on the Z.

for my roads here, the car feels fantastic.

sounds good on the KW's. ive read great things about them. ive not tried KW's, so this is why i want to try

all of the coilover setups ive ran in the last 15+yrs were all from japanese manufacturers.

i was young 20yrs ago... if i do it today, i would probably say, 'hey kid, you can do it' and let some other do it for me.

I like the setup I have now because I have drop and spacers, I should consider some sway bars though for the mean time.......

I had Tein street flex coils for my Z32 and loved it made the stance and drive so much better, but then again I don't know what suspension was in the car when I bought it

sounds goood.

ive had pretty decent and not so decent experience with TEIN products (coilovers and springs) in the past. big bang for the buck.

the first thing i didn't like was that their springs and housing would chip/crack away and rust if driven in the winter. even driving through a dry winter day with salt on the ground, the paint would start chipping away.

but did not seem to affect function at all. not sure if TEIN fixed that.

also the S-techs sagged like a mofo after about 4yrs on my G.

my car was completely out of alignment by then, so swapped to eibachs (since swifts were not available at the time).

eibach's paint is holding up fine. the swifts on my Fit are fine as well after driving a seaons in the winter salt.
