Didn't use it. Maybe I'll put it on the back to get rid of the dealer frame. I'm letting my church's frame lead the way.

Hi, Everybody I'm new in this forum. need to know if replacing the stock shock w/koni will improve the handling of the car & will I also need anything else beside koni? I'will appreciate the help, and also where will I get it in a reasonable price. Thanks!

Try this google search

site:the370z.com best suspension mods

Lots of maybe useful info on the site. The site's search engine is just not as efficient.

A stiffer front swaybar is the best bang for your buck. Konis are nice but your stock dampers by themselves aren't bad

Hello guys...I am in the process of buying a 370z. The first thing that I noticed was that it was much quieter than the 350z's that I was used to hearing...So, I will be getting an exhaust right away. I am debating between the HKS and FI 18" resonated one, but I really want to hear em in person before I decide.

Wondering if anyone in the DC area has either one and would be willing to meet up sometime for me to hear it?

You might also look through this sticky...

370Z Exhaust Sound Clip data base

Or yea, a Saturday gathering as well. However, make sure you check a day or two ahead to see who is coming out. Attendance is great sometimes, but sometimes not. Fairfax get's better than Columbia so far this year.

Come to a Saturday meet! We have a ton of different exhausts. We had a member with HKS long ago that sounded very nice. I have had FI and, aside from the intense drone, sounded great!

Sweet, I'll try my best to make it out to the next one. My fear is that the FI drones alot and the fanboys just don't want to admit it, which is why I really want to hear it in person. On the other hand, the HKS is 2100 shipped :-/ Both pieces look like they are pretty high quality and everyone likes them. Reading all of the threads has just given me a headache lol

I loved the sound but hated the drone on mine. Extended highway trips sucked.

I had the 18" resonators. Stock cats.

I have the Ark Grip V2 on my '13 which I prefer. It doesn't drone and has a bit more of an exotic tone to it.

mcjsilverz · 07-07-2014, 05:52 PM

I'have a fast intentions 18"resonator carbon , willing to let Mr.saqib listen to it, just let me know when the next meet will be in fairfax.

Thanks dude! Def looking forward to it.

I will also start looking into the Ark. It has the same design as the HKS, but is much much cheaper.

Its all personal preference, check them all out and go with what you like. Me, Im an ARK fan, although the Fast Intentions setup is pretty nice too.
