oh wow! im like the only one left at stock height in the "cool group." :D ;)

i suppose i will look at KW V3's later on. i dont need the car lower, i want the dampers a tad stiffer... or maybe i should swap out the DW's to S04's. :p btw, the s04's are awesome on my G. im going to swap out the rear spacers on the car to poke it 5mm tonight.

anyone want a set of lightly used DW's? ;) (no i am not selling)

I have Eibachs, that are uninstalled (new sitting in the box). I am working on my driveway-street transition which now prohibits me lowering the Z.

After a run with ZONC, I am thinking that the Swifts, rather than the Eibachs, are the way to go. Many guys had Eibachs and then switched out to Swifts and they claim a vastly superior experience. I am all about the superior experiences myself so i am naturally interested in pursuing the Sifts option.

So I need to decide today whether to pull the trigger on the Swifts just becuase they are available. if I do, then they too will sit on a shelf, probably on top of my Eibachs, until the driveway project gets complete.

Then, of course, I will have a nice set of Eibachs for sale.

I have Nismo shocks and springs on my car and they don't really lower the ride height, but they are stiffer than stock without making the ride harsh. Overall I think they are a good compromise between ride and performance for the street. Of course they are not adjustable like the KW V3's are.

doens't that actually raise the front like 0.5" though? :confused: i think tj was having issues with his and ended up getting the swift springs.

yah, im all for customization so i would require the damper adjustability. :)
now if Koni released yellows for our cars i'd probably just do that, or maybe hitachi/d-specs or something. :p

Yeah, very disappointing. Part of the reason I want to move from the platform.


Spoken with a rep a couple times about it. Current status is no plans to do anything for z34 in the next 3 years.

LOL why not just get KW's V3's like i'll probably end up getting instead? or maybe HKS or something? that's hardly a reason to dump the entire car. :rofl2:

According to Nissan the 370Z Nismo strut and spring kit is supposed to provide a drop of 10 mm or .4 inches compared to the OEM suspension. That's not much, but I would say it is about right on my car.

At the expense of an awful ride.
