Available coilovers for our Roadsters?
 
Hey you guys, ive searched through the forums and couldn't really find too much information, but does anyone out there have a list of available coilovers for the roadster? Or can anyone please share their experiences with coilovers on your roadster ?? I am about to make the leap... just trying to find the right ones..

First of all, I just want to say that I dont have a roadster
but I would assume it's suspension is not too different from
a coupe. Now, the most used coils on our Zs are KW V3,
BC BR, TEIN Monoflex and Stance GR+ (I apologize if I
missed a commonly used coil). Now, if I had a roadster, I
would get whichever coil just to achieve a certain drop you
are looking for, get a camber kit, and if you wanna use stock
rays, I would get spacers. Last time I was on stock rays, I
had a 15/20 setup but I'm seeing tuners using 20/20, 20/25,
and even 25/25. It's up to you how flush and low you wanna
get. Yet again, I do not have a roadster, just feeding our
forum members what I know and have gone through. :tiphat:

Sorry if my post looks funky, I posted using my phone.

appreciate the feedback! (dont see anything funky on the post) i did assume that coilovers on the coupe platform was the same, and when I called into bc headquarters the rep told me that the bc br coilovers were not available for the vert =( and tein coilovers excludes the convertibles ... im still doing more research at the moment ...

Definitely KW has the best adjustability for the price.

Happy with my BC racing coils with the external reservoir. Made the car handle much much better than the stock setup..

Corner 3 Garage and UAMotorsports are well respected vendors/sponsors on our forum. Maybe these guys can shed some light as to why coils for the roadster differ.

vividracing 09-21-2011 07:19 PM

I know that on the 350Z there was no difference, and so far from what I've seen on the 370Z there is no difference. The reason TEIN excludes the convertible is because they haven't tested it yet; I just confirmed this with TEIN USA. I'll double-check and post back with a final answer!

what's the adjustability and sprint rates on it ? How much did it run you?

TonySlimfast 09-22-2011 02:30 PM

I would assume that the suspension would be the same , thanks for the info so far guys ... Sigh not too many verts with coils installed. seems like I should just close my eyes and pick one out the bucket install it, just to write a review about it

UAM is selling KW V3s for $1750 shipped or installed. Now, I am affiliated
nor sponsored by UAM - I just saw the post not too long ago.

As for KW V3, I've heard nothing but really good reviews from REAL owners.

!Fixed!

That's a fair price for the KW V3, however, I think the KW V3 is WAY overkill for most people.
