For your other questions, you will want to have the toe bolts to be able to get the most out of the alignment even at that height. Front camber arms are not needed, but they help with getting the car dialed into your driving style.

If you have any questions at all shoot us a call at 410.593.7080

This is interesting and I'm actually a little surprised to hear this. I know a few people who have said good things about Stance coilovers, but only in the street/show arena. I haven't heard much about their track performance.

You're not wrong! Even at the XR1 / entry level though?

Thought you might be suffering from brain fart, writer's block or writer's wrist cramp.

Enjoy your vacation.

Nope. Just no one has asked anything that needs any "complex" explanations. Plus it would be repetitive, I'm sure I've wrote enough that can be re-read if someone cares to search.

I am high as a fkn kite though. Marijuana is legal now! Woohoooo. I'm in the clouds thinking about lightsabers ��.

Now you've got me looking in a whole different direction! I am looking at the XR2s (local support would be great) but really can't find a lot on them. Any input on how they stack up against the BC ERs?

Since your only weekend and track use I would go stance. The be spring rate will be too soft for any real track use. My z is a daily and the powertrix 12/11 swift setup is just fine and on track it is even better. It’s arguable if stance and powertrix are the same (same factory but that really doesn’t mean anything in terms of function) but the stance spring rates and the way that the adjustments actually make a difference (not 5 clicks just to finally make a noticeable difference) is what would make me take them over bc.

Just because it is legal doesn't mean you should use it. Put that stuff away
and save some brain cells for stuff that matters.

I appreciate you caring about my brain

. But to be fair, trying it for the first time in years has actually elevated my thought process in ways i couldn't have imagined. The level of clarity it's given me is incomparable to when I was free from any drugs or alcohol. I still don't drink or smoke anything else, so I'm not worried. Marijuana has not been linked to decreased brain activity in any testing.
................................

On the current topic. As jhill just stated the spring rate is what should be the primary focus. All three of the companies in discussion offer optional spring rates and most likely fairly good dampers. The questions you should ask yourself OP... Are

-What ride height am I looking for ( a lower height will automatically require a stiffer spring rate all things being equal).

-Where am I using it most often and how much force will I be exerting on the tires (more lateral force will require more spring pressure to resist roll)

Last but not least - what tires am I using and how quickly will they begin to work. Stickier tires is the sole purpose behind total grip. The more grip you have the more pressure will be exerted on each corner during weight transfer. Additionally spring pressure will be needed to combat roll and weight shifting.

If you're not increasing your tire grip significantly and not decreasing your ride height much you can use a softer spring. That will allow your damper setting to be more relaxed.

Get the swift spring upgrades on the 510 series

The spl stuff, get it all at once. One install, one alignment

Apparently they don't make the 510 for the Z34.

OptionZero · 01-10-2018, 09:10 PM

The 500s are fine. Ask hotrod, I think he runs them

Hotrodz · 01-11-2018, 09:39 AM

Yup they are very well made and they have made some pretty cool changes to the gen 6 model. The gen 6 are also upgradable to two way adjustability.
