I went to listen to a nismo today at Nissan but it's totally silent lol. I guess the upgrade would be to know that it's a less restrictive exhaust. Heard that the nismos extra power comes from exhaust and it's got a remap. Shame it's mild steel since you can get a stainless steel cobra for like £400 at group buy prices which have decent reviews for performance and sound. Best of luck with the sale though buddy

Any chance of paying for the laying in advance and if you guys apply it? You'll probably do a more thorough job than I would lol

Do you offer extended warranties jerrick? I don't drive the car much so would get many miles done in a year. Also if anything happens out with the warranty can you guys also repair coilovers too?

Sorry for being cautious lol I've heard good stuff about KW after support and that's also why many people go for them. Just wondering if you also have a repair service after the warranty period.

Thanks!

Hey I'm in too how long is the warranty with these?

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay guys, sorry for the late update as we just have been buried in back order since the new year.

 

Now, I must confess, I read the stock list wrong and I actually only have that many kits.

I happen to have 7 kit in stock.

 

So if you are all interested then I will sort something out for everyone.

 

Jerrick

Great. What price are we looking at then? I put a post on another forum to see if other members wanted some too but it was removed because your not a trader on that forum. Doesn't matter though if you only have 7 sets anyways and they are all taken.

On another note, it would be worth posting this in the 370 section too since i accidentally stumbled across it when reading up about coilovers either that or in the group buy section.

Furthermore members from another Nissan forum might also be interested. It won't let me add the name in for some reason. Perhaps we consider them a rival forum LLF

Thanks for the responses guys.

I agree with some here, calm down guys. The manufacturers say on their website camber can be adjusted, nor do I know they use a standard image. I'm surprised at the number of people driving lowered cars on coilovers and who don't have these arms. Hence I thought the more expensive coilovers may be worth it to get camber adjustability.

Octet thanks for the link. I'll check them out. I would probably aim to go as low as I can without needing the extra mods.

Nissanman, what exhaust have you got? Don't think it's stock. When I got the car in the air, I noticed that there is a lot of space between between the top of the Y pipe and the underside of the car. The flexy has been scraping which wouldn't happen if the pipe it's sat a bit higher. Interested to know if aftermarket exhausts sit closer to the body of the car to avoid this issue

Also interested for a 370z. What's the warranty like on these and is the camber adjustable?

tThere is NO camber adjiustment, how many times do you need to ask when the answer has been given clearly and succinctly on more than one occassion:-

There is NO camber adjustability on the coil overs for the 350Z / 370Z due to the double wishbone set up, don't you get it.?

 

Most suspension sellers use generic images which is a bit misleading.

 

For the last time, If you want to adjust the camber on the front you will have to fit after market adjustable front top A arms.

For refererence post 28 here http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/104310-cars-too-low/page__st__20

Okay, calm down there son. When searching for coilovers they do state camber adjustability on the fronts. At least 3 manufacturers state this on their website.

Also how am I to know that the images they use are generic? Lastly, ALOT of people on the forum run coilovers but I find it hard to believe everyone has spent an additional £750on camber arms. HENCE my question to check if the coilovers that state they can adjust camber on the 370z actually do else people are running some excessive camber.

Oh dear! Might have too get in on the KW action then lol I called DT but the guy said their price is fixed on the KW. This was before I can across this thread though. Can anyone please PM me the contact details for Craig at DT?

Also have you guys fitted these yet and what supporting mods did you need for camber adjustability? Tryin to avoid getting front arms since they are around £750!

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Neilp uses them too. I will probably end up changing my BC's for them soon too.

Hey buddy. How come? I'm Considering BC just now but don't want to have to buy twice if you know what I mean. Are the KW really that much better? What more can they do? Silly question I know but just interested to know. Think they have adjustable bump and rebound on the damper compared to others which have one setting for the shock but would someone like me even make use of this function?

Also am I right in thinking we can't change the camber from the top of the coilovers anyways?

Cheers

The 350Z front coil overs will not have camber adjustibility.

 

Hey. Is that all 350z kits? The 370z fronts seem to have camber adjustability. Not sure how people can lower with out having camber adjustability :s

The 350 and 370 both run double wishbones on the front, so camber is not adjustable from the top mount on the coil over or on OEM strut..

 

To adjust the camber you will have to replace the upper A arm with an after market adjustable type.

So really having camber ajustability on the coilovers front makes no difference for our cars? Lol wonder why the manufacturers add that feature in lol. Bit annoying though. Thought it would save me from having to get the front arm which are like £750!

I have tracked mine with just the Eibach springs mate and it's perfectly fine. I have had a full wheel alignment though which made the car very precise and perfectly accurate for a B road blast.

 

Have you had yours checked recently? I am running negative 2 degrees all round.

Yeah buddy. On track it was alright because tracks are forgiving. The camber is also at 2 degrees or so and stock should be just over 1 degrees

MeisterR for me evey time. Had them on the MR2 which originally had springs and had issues with it being too low, then went to Tein coilovers which were great for track but no good for UK Roads. I then got introduced to MeisterR just after they developed new coilovers for the MR2.

 

From that point on I never looked back. Ride was better than OEM, yet I could raise or lower as much as I wanted due to the double perch. This meant that raising or lowering did not affect the ride. Definitely worth having a word with Jerrick from MeisterR.

 

Cannot comment on other coilovers as I have never used them........ Sure Adrian could come up with a comparable kit as well.

Thanks for the response bud. Meister R do seem fairly decent. The design looks almost identical to the BC in terms of what is changeable and also the cost is the same too. Any idea how long the warranty is on the meister R? I like how they have camber adjustability too. Looked at Adrian's S type but they don't offer adjustability. Would need to go for his R series which is around £1300 and comparable in price to KW V3.

We're your teins camber adjustable? And what types of teins did you have? Think entry level can't change the camber

Yeah by lowering on springs I've found out a few issues.

1. Stock exhaust rubs on the Y pipe flex hose. There is a lot of space around the exhaust though and since most people get an aftermarket exhaust this isn't an issue. I've got a stock exhaust so this is a problem

Fix here is to get an exhaust place to lift my exhaust upwards. Can anyone confirm if aftermarket exhausts sit higher and closer to the undercarriage of the car?

2. The ball joint sits too low in comparison to the wishbone. You can get a kit apparently which compensates for this from drift works. Not having this makes the car steering quite skittish

3. The car is oversprung and under damped. The damper can't act fast enough since I've uprated the springs and the anti roll bar which is effectively a big Spring

4. Lastly the front nose scrapes.

My dampers are not leaking so I'm surprised that others have not felt any adverse issues from others who have done lowering springs. Either that or people have just done it for looks.

I think I'm gonna either go stock springs or I'm gonna go coil overs. Leaning more towards coilovers with the anti roll bars. Need adjustment on the dampers too and I will maybe just lower by 10-15mm until I don't need any extra camber arms or ball joint kits etc.

Also on lowering springs the camber is out by 1 degrees which is a lot

So in conclusion lowering springs are great for looks and for road use but there is defo a compromise on other characteristics. I was hammering it with 6 other cars (GTR, M6, S4 etc) and I was at the back because the car was just bottoming out and the dampers were not up to scratch.

Now....what coilovers do I get? Lol thinking of BC racing because they also have camber adjustability. They are around £700. KW V3 are around £1300 which is too much plus fitting.

Anyone have any experiences with coilovers they wish to share?

Need some better fitting wheels then by the sounds of it.

Do these also fit the 370z bud? Toying between these the meister or the BC. Place that will fit them does a lot of BC stuff. Cheers

Daniel, how does the car handle? Yours looks so low. Is it on eibachs? Think eibachs on my car are too low. Exhaust is scraping and the ball joint is sitting lower than the wishbone due to the drop.
