Powertrix Coilovers excitement!

banga21 · 02-23-2017, 10:25 AM

So I just ordered my Powertrix Coilover set from Concept Z. I've been reading many reviews and write-ups through this forum and a few others.

I bought my 2010 MB 370z the beginning of January. It already had Injen CAI when I purchased it, and since then I have installed the Invidia Gemini CBE, and CNT high flow cats. However, installing these coilovers has by far brought the most excitement.

I have always had them installed in the past, however, this time I want to do it myself. Are there any pre-installation pointers with these specific coilovers I will need? Thanks in advance!

I would suggest some anti-seize on some parts if you will see salt water at all. And they were a little annoying to get set correctly, but I had an older version and no instructions.

Also, depending how low you go, you will need camber arms so you aren't chewing tires.

All in all, I was happy with mine until I took them off, and now have some pieces stuck together, but again I have the older version top hats which are nothing like the current ones.

Just ordered some front and rear camber arms as well. Thank you for the input very much appreciated.
