marky-x2cuk Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 hey guys!!! i am kinda new to the 350z and are hopefully gettin one real soon!! first thing i wanna get sorted is a decent set of coilovers!! i hate the look of normal ride height!! can anyone recommend a decent set of coilovers for under £1000 or worst ways under £1500??? also what ride height are people running using 19's??? i want the car low enuff too look good but not effect the handling in a bad way!! would rather not hav scrubbing when driven hard would love to see some pix too if poss!! thanx people Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 KW coilovers and Eibach can both be had for under £1000.00, the KW Variant 1 is a popular choice, we also have a few members wit the Variant 2 and 3 too... Quote
martinmac Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 I have KW Var 3 and lowered 30mm. They are aroun £1250 I think. The difference in handing is well worth it. This, with a bodykit gives about 9cms clearance, the exhaust is only a little higher. I know from your website that I wont have to expand on the potential problems this will inflict. I will try to find a link from a recent thread. Quote
marky-x2cuk Posted February 6, 2009 Author Posted February 6, 2009 yeh its seems a few people run KW's on the Zed!! i hav always regarded KW's as a coilover kit for European cars!! The var 1 is only ride hieght adjustable?? how is the standard dampers on this setup??? or is it worth lookin at Var 2 which has adjustable dampers??? a 20 or 30mm drop is as far as i wanna go??

Ian Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Cusco Zero 2s on my car. Cost was about £1200 when the exchange rate was good. Mine is on 19s and its lowered 20mm in the front & 25mm in the rear Quote
Beavis Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 May look at the KW1 kit for the custard soon. Quote
S1 HNK Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 how much are the Var 1's? CS, could you send me a total price for these plus fitting and tracking etc? Cheers Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Forum member Pingu recently put a good post about his coilovers and ride height, can’t seem to find it though… Martin help… Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 As with a lot of companies, KW put their prices up in January, the V1 was £735.00 and its now £830.00, quite a jump in price. The Eibach kit is also £830.00… Si, hopefully next week I’ll have a fitting/alignment price, I recently did some work with a local guy, who has the John Bean alignment kit and he’ll be putting together a member price for me… Quote
