Decision which one?
 
Hey guys, looking/researching for coilovers. Maybe springs.

The only spring I would get is swift springs on stock shocks.

Coilovers... 1.Bilstein pss10
2. BC BR
I searched on bilstein.... almost no info... looks like nobody has these on 370z

I just want a nice ride... not too hard/stiff. almost for DD use.
Which one do you recommend? Springs or coilovers? which product?
Thanks in advance.

I have swift springs, and it's great for a DD! I think most people go with KW V3s as far as coilovers go.

cut your springs. coilovers and aftermarket springs arent worth it :rofl2:

Swift springs hands down if its just a street car. No need for coilovers. Swifts will be more than enough for a dd. I drive pretty hard and the swifts handle anything I throw at em. Forget Teins or H&Rs they are looks over performance. Swifts are made specifically for the stock strut and are designed w performance in mind, not looks. I can assure you that these springs will blow your mind. Save the money and buy swifts. The money you save on coilovers will be better spent other ways

for a dd I'd simply go with the swift springs. I've sold probably close to 100 of those and I've had no complaints... they're hands down the best springs out there and increase performance without any sacrifice in comfort.

If you want the added performance of coilovers you can always take a look at BC coilovers with custom swift coilovers springs, so you can somewhat customize the ride. Regardless coilovers will give you a much stiffer ride.
