Coilover recommendation for my situation?
 

I'm looking into doing autocross and probably a few road course events here and there, but the car is also my daily driver. I want something that's a good mix between daily driver and track, and also give me the ability to get pretty low if need be. Any suggestions for something preferably less than $1500?

I just bought BC er coilovers and they work great you can get the "BR" series which is a little cheaper about $1000.

Im lovin my Sport Street Powertrix Coilovers. They are great for daily driving and have the goods for the track if you need. Adjustable stiffing and can go more than 3" low. Smooth ride. Fairly inexpensive <1000 but theyll perform as good or better than the "premium" brands.

I have the BC BR. I don't have it on a 370z, but I have it on my sentra and I like it a lot! Whatever you do, avoid Ksports like the plague. I owned a set and will never own one again.

good place to start is to figure out what the stock spring rates are and get springs that are within 25% stiffness. make sure dampers are adjustable.

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.

Have you took in consideration of needing a alignment kit also?

Coilovers and no drop should maintain the same alignment but you'll want corner balancing. If you start dropping, then there goes another $1000 for all the camber arms and toe-bolts...

That's what I think the OP is going for, a drop.

Yeah I'm aware of the alignment kits needed, this isn't my first time putting coilovers on a vehicle. I was not aware the costs associated were so high though. I came from a '07 Civic Si and the rear camber arms for that were only $200 haha.

He said a $1000. But he probably meant for the complete front and rear kit, corner balanced, and alignment. I assume that's what he's applying.

+1 on Powertrix SS

someone make adjustable dampers for the Z to use on stock springs~!
