paulashy Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Anyone got ohlins or nitron coilovers for the z if so where did you get them from and what is your opinion on them. Do they provide good handling but at a sacrifice of comfort? Regards Paul Quote
Neilp Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 They are good quality coilovers. How bigs your budget as they are pretty pricey. If its just a stiffer ride to stop body roll get adjustable arb's. These will make a massive difference. Quote
paulashy Posted September 7, 2013 Author Posted September 7, 2013 Yeh I know there expensive was wondering if the worth the money that's all dont mind paying the cash Quote
Neilp Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 I think if you only going to use the car on the roads then theres absolutely zero point and a waste of money. If its a track weapon then I would say go for it. If its road use the likes of bc coilovers will do the trick. 1 Quote
Ekona Posted September 7, 2013 Posted September 7, 2013 Nitrons and Ohlins are the best of the best. They will give you the best of everything: Quality, control, comfort. If you can stomach the price, then go for it. Quote
paulashy Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 The car is a daily but try to get 4 to 6 trackdays in a year and a ring trip, not sure if I could use the suspensions potential or weather a cheaper option maybe better and spend the money else where Quote
Neilp Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I'd go for the likes of kw and a set of eibach arb's and adjustable drop links. Better pads an discs. This will make a world of difference 1 Quote
Suits Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I'd go for the likes of kw and a set of eibach arb's and adjustable drop links. Better pads an discs. THIS. Then if you want to push the envolope further and decrease times etc, maybe get the coilovers you mentioned in the OP. I'd even consider just getting springs first. Those with some ARB's, fluid lines and pads will make you a lot quicker all over the place. Then once you've got used to that start thining about dropping £2000 on coilovers. Quote
paulashy Posted September 9, 2013 Author Posted September 9, 2013 Already done lines fluid pads and discs, did lowering springs on my last car and they lasted about 3 months then went to some Misterr coilovers and fully polybushed as they made the ride really crashy. But was just wondering if anyone was using the coilovers mentions on a daily as well as track use and how they perform day to day Quote
Arran Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I rate my hsd coilovers highly but imo if you have the money and the opportunity to buy ohlins or nitron even if it was a road car I say go for it, personally id go with ohlins if your happy to spend the money do it you will be getting the best you can Quote
Suits Posted September 9, 2013 Posted September 9, 2013 I've never heard a bad word about Ohlins. Their aftercare is top notch too. Quote
MeisterR Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 If you are after a set of high end suspension that will provide comfort and handling at the same time, the MeisterR GT1 will fit your bill. We just finish development of this new suspension and the entire unit will be hand build in the UK. They are design to give good ride characteristic on the road where you can drive comfortably on the motorway at the same time provide great steering response on the twisty road. Arrive at the track, turn the damper up, and have a competitive suspension that will provide sharp handing characteristic, great traction, and will not heat fade from hard use. The GT1 RRP is set at £1550, as we are aiming to provide similar characteristic as the Ohlins DFV but at a more sensible and affordable price. If you have any questions, please feel free to let us know. Jerrick 1 Quote
