I currently have KW V3s on my Nismo. It took me about 3-4 months of research to decide on these coilovers and I cant explain how amazing they are. I have the damping set in the middle & is WAY more comfortable than stock. Paired up with Whiteline swaybars, the car feels planted & handles wonderfully with minimal body roll. Ill post pictures of my set-up when I get home, but I still need to drop the rear to match the front & and Im running out of threads already so if you are looking to SLAM the car to the ground then these aren't for you.

Yeah sorry. I need to do it right when I get home because by the time I'm back from the gym everyone is already home & its a pain to move everyone's cars out of the way. I'll do my best to get some today.
Pictures added! Front lip sits really low... Thinking of dropping the rear another 0.750" to 1.000" Last edited by BlKsUbYkId; 06-05-2013 at 06:58 PM. |

I'm very VERY curious about how much lower you can go..if at all. Also what size tires are you running? You're stance is very VERy close to what I want, and if you can lower the rear more....and possibly the front like another 1/2 inch...I'll pull the trigger on KW's. Otherwise I'm going to be stuck ordering the SS+'s.... |

I initially was looking at Tanabe sustec z40, Tein Mono Flex, & Cusco Zero-2 before pulling the trigger on the V3s. One of my biggest concerns with any of the budget coilovers is that I did not want to "down grade" my Nismo suspension. I know some will argue that they are better and what not, but this is just MY OPINION. I wanted to go with something proven at the track but at the same time not lose "streetablilty". Prior to the V3s I had Swifts and my only experience with any aftermarket coilovers was with my Subaru. Going from crap Megans to Cusco Zero-2s was absolutely night & day on the track. On the street, the Cuscos were STIFF and NOISEY! Everyone complained besides my fellow Subaru & Evo friends lOl. I have to say that the V3s are the best of both worlds, definately more comfortable than stock & handles the way the Z should out of the box...with some help from my Whitelines But if you want to go for the slammed look, these might not quite get you there....
