The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXX

Mostly aesthetics. I doubt I’ll ever track the car. I just mainly want the adjustability of coilovers. If I find it too low or high I can change it in

How often do you really think you'll change it? Cheaper sets are going to have less adjustability as well.

Honestly don’t know. Never had the option. Lol

I was considering the H&R springs as well. I wanted to do an aggressive drop, those were the most aggressive I could find from a reputable brand. I’m all over the place really. My brain goes through 100 different options at the same time until I’m just frustrated and confused.

If this is your DD, the most aggressive drop is going to be a PIA... my swifts are perfect for DD. I still scrape on steep driveways or big speed bumps, so the drop that the Swifts give me is the most Ill go. BTW, my avatar is on stock springs

curious as too how good treadwear ratings actually are. GTR guys tell me that michelin PS cups 2's although rated at 180 last the same or less than R888R's rated at 100.

those are my choices i think for the spring. 285/325 combo...mmmmm meat

And that's how you end up buying a product that you shouldn't have. Take your time and do your research. Save the money and spend it once the right way instead of wasting it on something you aren't happy with.

I wish there was some type of simulator that would let me experience every type of spring/strut combo and every coilover set. Lol

Research, research, research. Figure out a variety of options that might be good for you. Then more research for reviews and photos of those setups. Try to find someone local with a similar setup that you can check out in person. Take your time and be thorough. That will give you time to save up the money, too.
