Nissan 370Z Forum - What did you do with your Z today II

Hey man,

Curious to ask you. Are you happy with the Koni's + Springs or do you ever wonder how entry level coilovers would have been (BC or Stance)? That's my dilemma right now...

Do you care about performance or going low?

I'm happy with them, Nick. The ride quality is top-notch.

I also sometimes wonder about the better suspension set up:
Koni yellow + swifts or nice aftermarket coilovers (kw3, etc).

From what I read koni+swift is better than the cheaper coilover systems <$1200. Can anyone chime in?

Then there's no question to be asked on which option to go with in the sub-1200 range

I'm glad there's no question... But what's the answer? :icon17:

Alchemy and onzedge will be doing this setup sometime soon. I'm not aware of anyone else with Koni/Swift.

I will be Koni/Swift within a week. I have been running Swifts with stock dampers for about 4 months and they do well. It should be even better with Konis -- set a bit firmer in front than rear.

yep, mr.onzedge knows his stuff. firmer front setting is better. :tup:

NEWS FLASH!

Just in............ footage of mr. happytheman at Spring Break in Daytona:

Rock Center with Brian Williams - Spring Break 1962: Do you recognize anyone?

:tup:

It's 30 minutes long, but the commercials are great and it's an interesting perspective on the generation that was about to fight the Vietnam war. If you can set aside some time to watch this, you'll enjoy the history/socialogy lesson. The "kids" are in their 70's now.

:tiphat:

I'm interested in a 275/305 setup, and if I'm not mistaken they don't make the Contis in 305. :(
