Need some help choosing some coilovers
 
I recently bought a new 370z and the ride is still too soft and it sits so high it looks funny. I'm hoping not to spend a fortune but I want to buy something that is quality and will be fun on the back roads/a few track days in the future. My current options are:
Stance Super Sports
BC BR's
Fortune Auto 500's

What are you guys' opinions on these or do you have another recommendation? Trying to stay $1500 or less

My head went boom! Is the front camber adjustable with any of these or do I have to buy camber arms?

370z front camber is only adjustable via aftermarket front upper control arms.

I have a 2015 Nismo. Would it be safe to say I could increase the camber with just spacers? I'd like to be at -2 front and -3 rear for track days. I think it's -2 on the rear factory. Don't really want to buy coilovers and arms if I don't have to.

That is a really helpful list but I was also trying to get personal opinions and experiences.

I'm leaning towards the BC RC's or KSport but I don't have experience with either one of them.


Loving my Nismo!!!

Spacers are a linear adjustment. They aren't going to effectively change your camber.

Sounds like camber kits and coilovers are in my future. Thanks for the info.

That is one of the failings of that type of list. I collected some prices but that's too fluid a characteristic to "publish". About the only review-type info I can supply is that digressive valving tends to be the most appropriate for the majority of applications.

^ I wouldn't say it's a failing imho, quite the contrary. Personal opinions are subjective and relative to the reviewer's skill set and previous experiences..."too hard" to one driver can be "too soft" for another. A list is best to sticking to cold hard facts, which your list clearly provides.

I'm not expert, but very happy with my Powertrix coilovers. Charles is a Z owner andoffers the option to swap out the springs for Swift springs.

Nice review HERE.

To adjust camber on the front of the Z. You need adjustable upper control arms. Spacers will do nothing. The arms that are out there are Z1, the new SPC, VooDoo 13, and the SPL's. All these arms will change both camber and caster. The SPL's are the easiest to adjust, and they are top of the line.

I have Fortune Auto 500 and I like them a lot. Here are a few threads on them: http://www.the370z.com/brakes-suspen...rtune+auto+500
