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 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.

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.
