I just don't know how much money you'll save. A Koni set for the 350s is a bit over $1,000 (on TireRack), so the 370 will probably be close to that. So you have to add another couple hundred bucks for the springs and you're then in entry-level coil over territory. Actually, you can get the BC BR coilovers for about $1k even.

So, unless they do some great introductory pricing (Koni does 20% off sales from time to time) it probably won't save you much. Unless of course you were looking at the KW V3s and decided to go Koni... then you save. But there will likely be a couple inexpensive coilover options in the Koni price range.
/\ still beats the $4K I might be spending on JRZs though. If the koni yellows paired itht the swift spec R springs give me an improvemetn in handling over the stock nismo suspension it would be a worthwhile cheap option (I'm not expecting to get the kind of performance like I would out of the JRZ setup obviously, just an improvment over stock setup).

I totally agree with everyone here….the Koni + Swift Spec-R was a great seat up, true it won’t compare to a high end coilover but it will be much better over stock and over cheap coilover set up..


Not to forget they are rebuildable….. When I had the 350z, I did run them, also installed white line sway bars…..handle great. But I would only recommend this set up to guys that are not weekend warriors at the track, but would be great for daily driving and canyon runs…..time to time on the track but don’t expect to be shaving massive seconds with this particular setup…
