If money were no object...

FLYZ · 12-12-2012, 08:28 AM

Assume we are talking independent of costs, what do you think are the best suspension upgrades to make to your 370? What are the finest components/coilovers, springs, etc. I know I am considering making some changes to my Z, and I always prefer to shop from the top down. I'm sure I am not the only one who likes to do this.

For example, I know Ohlins (who I usually consider a market leader) makes 350, but not 370 coilovers. What might be comparable?

Go crazy! Let us know, if you could anything, what would you do to the suspension of your ride.

JRZs are right there with Ohlins and they make them for the 370z, I actually have 2 sets on the shelf. For the adjustable arms I would have to say SPL and SPC.

buy the RC NISMO version 370Z and tinker from there.

and def not SPC stuff......

DR_ · 12-12-2012, 09:49 AM

Which JRZ product line? RS Pro??

Jamielle@FP · 12-12-2012, 10:11 AM

I have RS1's(single adjustable) on the shelf, these work amazing on the Zs and GT-Rs.

AST's (although you'd have to have them custom made since they don't officially make any for the 370z). Can't wait to get my 4100's on the car.

If you really wanted to spend some money you could go with the ones that Doran uses on their RC.

It depends on what you want in driving be it on the street,strip,race course. A DD car would not need too much to change the stock suspension set-up IMHO. Look at changing the sway bars and tires first.

Or get a car like the one in my avatar!

If money were no object... I wouldn't own a Z.

Dwnshift · 12-13-2012, 01:57 PM

We use ASTs

ModBargains · 12-21-2012, 07:19 PM

My vote would be JRZ. But KW V3 Coilovers are always a great setup for the track and street:
