I'm really tempted to try GT Motoring's new offering.

According to their blog, they test their products both on the street and track so I think they are worth considering.

I chose the Tein Mono Flex for our shop car due to their mono tube design and the linear spring rates, as opposed to the KW V3 twin tube/progressive spring design. People will argue all day long about progressive/linear springs, but you can't really argue the mono tube's superiority over twin tube shocks on the track.

Now, if we're talking strictly street use, just flip a coin and I'm sure you would be satisfied with either coilover

I've had multple cars with multiple brands of coilovers in the past and the
Dampening on the Megan coilovers are limited. Too much bounce for me over certian road conditions.
Still a good product for the price. I'm just very picky!

I plan to purchase the same suspension for my Z, I must come see your suspension on the car and have a ride. I keep hearing how great they are for the track and are good for the street. I will most definitely have you install them.

Our car is a 2008 350Z HR. There were no clearance issues at all; the install was as smooth as could be.

Have you installed a engine oil cooler & transmission cooler on a 370Z yet? HOw much to have install mine?
It is stinking cold outside here right now and I am breaking the car in right now on 400 miles on it so I am babying it only half the rpm and the engine oil temp is sitting around 180 to 200 degrees, definitely has me worried for the track and the hot summers.

sorry for the horrible typing, in a rush

We haven't had the opportunity to get our hands on a 370 yet, but we'd really like to get into that market. That's the reason we're sponsors on this site

I'll PM you a quote for installation of the oil cooler.

They are revalved and with stiffer springs. And Robbie likes his cars setup pretty soft. Different strokes for different folks.
