offshore-drifter Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Anyone used either of these lowering spring kits??? I am toying with the idea of keeping my zed and continuing with my project.... So am still looking at parts! I want springs rather than coilovers and will use updated blistein dampers.. I guess, what I want to know is..... What kind of drop am I looking at?? I want a decent drop.. Not like the tiny drop you get with most brands. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote
KyleR Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Ksport is a big drop. I have them and the rear wheel almost rubs and it's thrown the camber and toe on the rear out too, so expect an extra £185 ish for camber arms. Quote

offshore-drifter Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 Cheers niko, I actually just read through that so.... You think there alright then? Only reason I'm thinking of the Megan racing ones too. Is that they seem easyer to get hold of Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote
offshore-drifter Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 I would be looking at getting any adjustable suspension arms too. As my plan is to track the car. Cheers for the info Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote
Wasso Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Me personally would forget Megan products. Low quality and cheap. If you were to survey how many Zeds in the UK use Megan you'll count them on one hand. Either go Tein or Eibach (or Ksport if you so wish). Quote
offshore-drifter Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 I would usually go Tein.. But the drop just isn't enough. So.. K-sport it'll have to be. I will do some research on Megan racing though. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote

offshore-drifter Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 I just want to try out a bigger drop Quote
Wasso Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I just want to try out a bigger drop Coilovers then...... Drop as low as you can. Quote
offshore-drifter Posted April 3, 2013 Author Posted April 3, 2013 I cant be bothered with coilovers. I may fit some in the future, but springs and dampers are fine for what i am after at the moment. Quote
Niko Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Yeah I like them. But if you have a load of speed hums were you are. It dose cach the exhaust but only on the one the sit in the middle of lane. Quote
kris Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Just bought some new H&R super sport springs from a member on here. They are supposed to give a bigger drop than the normal H&R sport springs. I'll get some pics up when they are on. Quote
KyleR Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Eibach seem to be a better ride than the Ksports, So maybe the Ksports would be a bit better (stiffer) for the track. Also Since I need to correct the camber and toe once I get the arms on, i'll need to have the arches rolled otherwise they'll definitely rub. Quote

KyleR Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 Rear camber and toe are both thrown out. Toe it seems to affect the handling more, especially if both sides don't perfectly match. The Eibach camber arms will come with a new cam bolt which you can adjust the toe by a few degrees each way and get it to within the 0-2mm specs. Quote

Ah right I didn't know if the cam bolts has to be bought separate. Was the front thrown out aswell? Quote
offshore-drifter Posted April 4, 2013 Author Posted April 4, 2013 I was looking into the geometry bits and found some cam bolts that give +-3degrees http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/350z11d/23-4179 It's the low and stiff I'm going for, for track days...

KyleR Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 If the cam bolts on it now can't correct camber enough then they'll be no different, you need the arms Quote
cyberfella Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 I have some megan adjustable rear camber arms on back order via mad motors. it's been weeks now. Given that I'm on eibach lowering springs, would it be worth me cancelling the order and sourcing the eibach kit including toe bolts instead? rapid replies appreciated.... Quote
KyleR Posted July 17, 2013 Posted July 17, 2013 Cancel it because they're megans and get some eibachs. Traders on here do them, you'll have them by friday Quote
