Powertrix R/T Coilover Review

a.stewart4242

I've had these installed for about two months now, so it's about time for a review. First off, my goal for this car is to find the "happiest" compromise I can between a drift car and daily driver. When I e-mailed Powertrix to discuss the build, I was surprised to get a response back from Charles, the owner. He answered all my questions and helped me decide on which model (S/S, R/T, or U/T), and what spring rate. I wound up going with his suggestion of R/T with the swift spring upgrade, 12k/11k. They arrived quickly, and they look great. Surprisingly, I've found these coil-overs to be more comfortable than stock, while still improving handling. The adjust-ability is great, and while there are only 15 settings for dampening, each click gives a noticeable difference.

I would go more in depth, and I would of taken pictures during the install, but there's a few other reviews on here that did that, so why be redundant? Just wanted to give my POV on the coil-overs, and say thank-you again to Charles for helping me out, and supplying a great product.

I agree. I dealt with Charles and ended up with the S/S with Swift spring upgrade. I had Swift lowering springs before and the Powertrix set up feels better.

Just finished my first track day at Summit Point on the R/T 13k/11k swift spring upgraded coilovers. They worked phenomenally. Next up is the tail of the dragon

Op how much did it cost you to buy this coils?

Contact Mr. Park at Powertrix. Last I checked, he is currently offering group buy pricing on all 370z coilovers. With group buy pricing, R/T with swift upgrade is around 1450.

Crux hit it, $1450, I normally wouldn't say or confirm a price, but the group buy had it listed on the forum and on their website. They are definitely worth the full price, which I think was near $2k, so the group buy is a great deal.

Is this a good set up for daily driving?

a.stewart4242

Great so far. Feels more comfortable than stock, but of course stock had 70,000 miles on them. While I haven't had other brands of coil overs in the 370z, I can say that out of the lowered 350s and 370s I've been the passenger in, these are the best ride, and still improve handling. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them again for dd.

A lot of the 240SX guys at track have started using power trix. They have good things to say, and based on my buddies N/A 4 times, I say they are doing the job. Seem to be on par with B/C's etc. Have only heard good things about them.
