i suppose i will look at KW V3's later on. i dont need the car lower, i want the dampers a tad stiffer... or maybe i should swap out the DW's to S04's.

btw, the s04's are awesome on my G. im going to swap out the rear spacers on the car to poke it 5mm tonight.

anyone want a set of lightly used DW's?

(no i am not selling)

I have Eibachs, that are uninstalled (new sitting in the box). I am working on my driveway-street transition which now prohibits me lowering the Z.

After a run with ZONC, I am thinking that the Swifts, rather than the Eibachs, are the way to go. Many guys had Eibachs and then switched out to Swifts and they claim a vastly superior experience. I am all about the superior experiences myself so i am naturally interested in pursuing the Sifts option.

So I need to decide today whether to pull the trigger on the Swifts just becuase they are available. if I do, then they too will sit on a shelf, probably on top of my Eibachs, until the driveway project gets complete.

Then, of course, I will have a nice set of Eibachs for sale.

I have Nismo shocks and springs on my car and they don't really lower the ride height, but they are stiffer than stock without making the ride harsh. Overall I think they are a good compromise between ride and performance for the street. Of course they are not adjustable like the KW V3's are.

doens't that actually raise the front like 0.5" though?

i think tj was having issues with his and ended up getting the swift springs.

yah, im all for customization so i would require the damper adjustability.

now if Koni released yellows for our cars i'd probably just do that, or maybe hitachi/d-specs or something.

Koni has no intentions of releasing anything :-/

Yeah, very disappointing. Part of the reason I want to move from the platform.

Spoken with a rep a couple times about it. Current status is no plans to do anything for z34 in the next 3 years.

LOL why not just get KW's V3's like i'll probably end up getting instead? or maybe HKS or something? that's hardly a reason to dump the entire car.

According to Nissan the 370Z Nismo strut and spring kit is supposed to provide a drop of 10 mm or .4 inches compared to the OEM suspension. That's not much, but I would say it is about right on my car.

Crappy aftermarket, not just lack of yellows.

At the expense of an awful ride.
