Coilover recommendation for my situation?

I would just save up and get some KW variant 3's. Those are the best coilovers for the money and after autocross everyone advances to HPDE track days so they are very good for that also!

Yeah I've heard they're not that great.

Any idea what stock spring rates are? Or do I have to work for this one.

I might have to! That will definitely delay my purchase by a few months though haha. I'm trying to avoid putting things on my credit card.

i dont know the rates, actually. i haven't decided to swap my springs yet so didnt care to look. i have a G that's lowered and running on stiffer setup so ii didnt want two cars with similar setup. i'd like Koni yellows but those aren't available for the Z.

im assuming the ideal rate will be around 400-450lbs/in range for street and stiffen up the dampers.
