@Mark@Abbey m/s single adj. damper is more than fine,i dont even care about adjustment to be honest, they just all come with adjustment,i just need a stiffer ride because my car is swaying like a bout even with aftermarket springs...

Very Nice ... Enjoy

suspension dampers set up you get what you pay for I am afraid to say. a quality damper costs. If your not racing then you dont need a triple adjustable damper, do you know how to adjust compression/rebound dampers? if not a single adjustable damper will be fine.

@Coz@TORQEN Spoke with main man in motorsport from where im from, they refurbish suspension components and to say the least he said absolute NO NO for BCs, keep in mind our roads are no comparrison for good UK roads(yeah,they are good in comparison with some other ..) as for TEIN,i will go for TEIN flex Z for sure if i cant find true coilovers alternative(MeisterR or maybe D2),as tein arent unfortunately true style coils. @davey_83meh they kinda do xD, jokes aside saw a thread from years back in a different forum, one guy dismantled YSR coilover just for the sake of it, he said he is not impressed at all, poor quality, dont know if anything changed till now but wont risk it.Now im looking either at MeisterR if they can make me true coil set or D2 coilovers as i saw they actually sell them from France.Last resort is TEIN as its not true coil style unfortunatelly.

That looks stunning! Reminds me of the new corvette

Yellow speed I don't think are a bad bet either, however don't look the same as WAT Racing. The later has forged ally lock rings, top and lower mounts with 40 way damping.

BC's or TEIN are more than enough for what you're going to be using them for, we've sold many sets of both with not one returned, people using them for drifting and track days. Not sure who you spoke to but I can guarantee you either of those are sufficient. They both have UK HQ's where spare parts are well stocked. If you really want to go all out, KW or Bilstein are the creme de la creme.

Nice one pal. A 350z being driven well down a twisty A/B road punches well above it's weight 😁

The DE is torquey but the HR flies. My brother had no issues keeping on the tail of my brothers 911 Carrera.

BC is out of picture,spoke with enough people in the motorsport,not one said that BCs are worth anything and i wont risk it. Im looking right now at yellow speed, they look exactly the same like your WAT ones,i wonder are they made in the same factory

Rough news, followers Abbey Motorsport for years and years. Z33 looks brilliant on track again

BC's it is then fella. I was lucky enough to come across my WAT Racing set up pre owned and I great shape.

@Olly350z i do really like meisterR but they are not true style which i was hoping to get as i already have the toe arm at the back ready to go and cant return in anymore or have to sell otherwise,for the reinforcing,i personally dont think theres such need on 350z specifically,other cars,i would think for that. @Ekonai agree with you, but i drive the car 1 month or so a year and i dont want to spend 3k pounds and barely use them,otherwise i would just get KW 3 Clubsport and call it a day. @davey_83Really caught my attention with WAT racing, unfortunatelly i cant find online a coilovers for 350z made from them. Also if something happens shipping from taiwan would be bigger problem than shipping around Europe(cars in east europe, even if theres stock in UK i still need to ship to East Europe,but taiwan seems a little too much) @ShortPaulI agree with you also, but same what i said to Ekona, cars not really in use that much, otherwise yeah.. KW,Nitron,Ohlin,Cusco etc.etc. would be the best.

Ohlin would be my choice

Previously had BC's and MeisterR coilovers, both were good however didn't use on track yet wouldn't envision them being an issue. I have WAT Racing coilovers and can highly recommend also.

If you’re looking at 70% track work, then imho you need to be looking up a notch like KWv3 etc, as all those you mention are budget options which would suit a road car more than a track toy. Suspension is arguably the biggest thing you can do to a car to totally change it, and I certainly wouldn’t be scrimping at this point since you’ve polybushed everything already.

Meister R gets my vote, from previous experience on all my previous cars. Jerricks products have always surpassed my expectations Have you read about reinforcing the rear shock towers if you change over to true full coil overs? I don't know how true it is but I've read that they need to be done on the rear.

Nice work on the wheels! I agree with the metallic silver, can look a bit tacky if everything is OEM(+)

Im looking to buy coilovers for my 350. My choices are MeisterR CRD, BC br, Tein flex Z and HSD Monopros and YSR (yellow speed racing). From my research :MeisterR are good and good customer service,but they are not true rear style which i wanted initially. Tein are bad from what i heard + they tend to leak and awful customer service BCs are taiwanese crap that is overrated by youtubers YSR : well,i got nothing for them HSD:rusty,bad customer service from driftworks + i saw a couple of guys with front shocks literally failed(bent where they mount to the control arm) + from what i saw rears dont go lower than stock height ? which is absurd. Any info would be highly appreciated from people that actually have driven on track. For what i will use the car: 70% track driving,other 30% motorway/city driving. and yes,the car is polybushed in the front,partially in the rear + yes,i have rear toe arms(to delete the buckets if i decide to go with true style coils). Initially whats important to me is,if something goes wrong like leaking i want to get replacement now, hence i dont want to import something from USA and if something goes wrong i have to wait for shipping from usa to europe.

I can't see anyone organising a breakfast meet to the cotswolds again . Last year's was awesome. have I missed it ? Hope not

love you all ....

Mark, So sorry to hear about Tony. I have very fond memories of him. Alex.

Been a while since we have been on here , we lost Tony late last year the man that started Abbey nearly 60 years ago. We got our 350Z race car back built after a big accident late in 2022. Had the Car back out @ Brands Hatch last week for initial shake down before we start racing the car again. #eatsleepracerepeat
