Has anyone from Aus put Eibach springs on their Z yet? I am considering taking the plunge.

I am looking at RSR springs as they have a slightly lower drop than Eibachs

How much are they? Where are you sourcing them from? Do you know what the drop is?

My mates run this import web site which connects directly into yahoo.co.jp


The spring rates and drop are specified in the adds but it's a bit hard to tell...

Hey Import,

I'm getting my FI exhaust installed this weekend and also want to get a set of coilovers. But first I wanna know if you've hit your mufflers at all on anything yet since you've been running with coilovers.

I must have when I 1st got them, cause there is some carbon fiber missing on the lowest part...but I have been checking and have not lost any more in a while. I am LOVING the exhaust.

I am also VERY low so take that into consideration.

I am close to ordering some coil overs now. You can get HKS Hipermax III for $2100 + shipping on the Monster Import site. Is anyone else keen?

For comfort, what coilovers are recommended?

Are Tein Comfort Sports available for the Z?

I got KW V3... and I paid US$1950 shipped from one of the forum vendor here. IMO it's better than HKS and cheaper..., as I remembered KW comes with Stainless Steel sleeve and HKS dont... only coated.
