Whenever we get an adjustable damper available for our cars, I'm switching to those, but for now, we don't have much in the way of options between overpriced TEINs and KWs, and the swifts w/ stock dampers.
You can always do cheaper coilovers, like BC with custom springs and spring rates. We get a lot of happy customers who go with BC dampers and custom swift coilover springs :tup:

I have about 250 miles on mine (both cars) installed over one week ago. It's not uncommon to take up to a month to settle.

The dampers included with the BC racing coils are awful, even after being revalved.

Haha well I'm just putting it out there, I know BC isn't the best but for less than 2k you can get a decent setup

Fair enough.

Since you probably hear about these things before the rest of us--any buzz on adjustable dampers coming out for the Z? I would love to get some Koni yellows or something for my Z.

I totally agree the Swift Springs are great for the price and very well matched with the stock shocks, BUT if you are planning to track the car or put R compound tires on there they are going to be undersprung.

For street use, light auto-x or track, they are the best value.

If you are doing heavier track use, with grippier tires, and higher speed tracks it is definitely better to get something like KW's, since they are double adjustable(Individual compression and rebound), which are also a great value.

x1,000,000. I gave up calling Koni a few months ago since they had no idea about when, if ever, replacement struts will be made for the 370z. I had Koni Yellows in my Saab and loved them, they would be perfect with the Swifts.

Agreed. I loved them on my civic.

I had Koni Yellows with H&R springs on my 350Z and loved them. Now with Swift springs and Koni's, that would be awesome.

I took off the sport chin spoiler as a pre-emptive move. It rubs a little on the wheel wind deflectors still but only over curbs.

But I love the ride and look!
