Question S-tune coilover suspension kit

I have seen the S"tune coilover kits on the internet for sale. They run between $900 and $1,100 depending on the vendor. They look like a high quality kit and are priced very reasonably. They appear to be pro-street and light track duty. Which is perfect for me. I'm more of a street racer.
Thing is... I see no reviews on these. I see no one installing them so far... I'm getting my Z this august, for sure this year. My 1st mods will be suspension then exhaust & intake. Before I settle on the Stune I would like a source of review. Does anyone have these or have a link to a review. So far I'm out of luck in finding info other than where to purchase. Thank you in advance.

"S tune coilover kits", there's your problem. Buy some better aftermarket ones.

never heard of these coilovers. Are these made by Nismo or is the s-tune name just a rip off? That price seams way too cheap to be a Nismo made coilover package.

It's part of the Nismo S-tune package, which is sold at Nissan dealerships or online.

But the S-tune suspension is not adjustable coilover package, that is just a matched strut and spring package. The OP refers to a 'coilover' kit which typically refers to an adjustable setup.

Technically it is a "coilover" kit, its just not adjustable. I just ordered the KW V3's, if the OP wants a good adjustable Coilover kit, then I suggest he do the same.

Its a true NISMO part. You can plainly see its a high quality piece as far as build is concerned. Funny how some guys here knock NISMO products when they drive Nissans. Most nismo products are designed well but just overpriced for what they are. In the case of the coilover. There is no review. So just asking.

Ever heard of ameteur closed circuit or autocross? You are ignorant. What do you expect... europeans commenting on the goings on in america. Though they are done on tracks, the tune is a street tune not a track tune which makes u a street racer.

There are 2 types of tuning. Pro street and track tune. When I say street race I'm talking bout the type of racing not location. It just further proves your ignorance. The only one here that's watching too much fast and furious is you.
