I do understand what coilovers will give me (just answered what I am looking to do) but I don’t how to do it myself. For example there are 30 clicks from soft to hard, I don’t know how to pick the right but it do not say I can’t learn. I do believe there are pepole that can guide me and after I will play around with it I will find the right setting. I am not a pro and not claims to be but I am always looking to learn something new and expand my knowledge. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thank you! So if this the case where do I start? I was looking at the ZR because I did not want to get one set and replace it after a year or two but I may need to go this route. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Of course, if you are going to upgrade to coilovers anyway, then some may say just skip the lowering springs step. |

Do you think this is a bad advice? Now I am kind of must go true coilovers at the rear as I installed all the SPL parts. :icon14: |

Going SPL is never a bad thing though, especially for a track toy. |

Yes they are, some of BC other types are not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

What sway bars? What rims? What tires? |

I'm so confused
You said you have the SPL toe links, which are only for true type coilovers So do you ALREADY have coilovers? There's no way you're using toe links on stock suspension - the buckets hold the springs. The things you are saying do not add up at all so you are either making stuff up or terrible at communicating what you want. Either way, give us complete and true info if you want worthwhile advice As for adjusting compression and rebound, I would start in the middle and adjust after DRIVING . Your alignment, tires, and driving style all affect the "ideal" settings Better yet, find a good suspension shop that does track level alignments and talk to them and other experienced track drivers at your events and dialogue with what you're feeling. Have someone ride with you and talk about it People here can give advice but no one can feel what you're feeling since you are the driver Having said all that, I'd again recommend fortune auto, they make a true type rear, swift spring upgrade available, rebuildable in USA, custom damping available. Also, power trix is a Z specific company that can talk you through it Hell, you're in Texas. SPL is right in your neighborhood |

The car is on the lift right now so it is installed but never used yet (all the SPL parts) sorry if it was not clear. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
Your car is on a lift and you have the SPL parts installed?
Did it ever occur to you as you took stuff apart that there was nowhere to put springs with the toe link instead of a bucket/midlink? This is why I say you're not being honest with us. You gotta by lying or incredibly oblivious to what's right in front of you By and how did you become buy all the SPL arms without reading the description on their website or talking to anyone Hell how did you buy all the arms without deciding what coilovers to get first?! |
I am not lying to anyone.
As I said from the top, I was going with the BC ZR coilovers. I knew that I am going to to go the real coilovers setup. This weekend I can by yellow speed racing at formula drift, they had a stand over there like BC have and others. I went and talked to them so they showed me some of the cars they sponsor at formula drift. This is way I asked if anyone running them and can give a review on them and compare them to BC ZR. As the conversation went on pepole put there other names that they recommend but it looks like they are out of my range but I never asked about them. I do thankful for pepole trying to help and I may picked the wrong coilovers (BC ZR) for the car but if you go to my questions at the first post I am asking about yellow speed racing reviews and to compare them to BC.

I have a 2 and 4 yr old. I have had very limited time driving the Z for the past few yrs. While having 3-way adjustments can be great, the combo of settings you like will take a long time to find, especially without lots of back-to-back drives over the same patch of road/track.
As Rusty will suggest, keep a notebook, log your impression of each setting, and have fun hunting for the feel that suits you. Best of luck! |

Thank you so much! I know the feeling my kid will be 3 this January. Love my family and the time we have together but need my “me time” in the car :-) Thank you for going with me about everything and not give up. I know my English isn’t perfect and sometimes I have hard time to explain what I am asking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
