FS: Koni Sport Dampers,Sportline springs,XP8 brake pads

All off of a 2004 G35 coupe:

Koni Sport Dampers with about 2K miles. Pulled off of a vehicle that I've recently sold. These Dampers are in great shape. They have rebound adjustability. Will sell for $470 shipped. - SOLD

Sportline springs installed at the same time as the Koni's. Will part with the springs for $185. --SOLD

Also have a set of Carbotech XP8 brake pads (FRONT only) for the Brembo's. Front brakes do most of the work on these cars anyway. These have been used for one track day only (plus trip to and from track... 600 miles maybe). Lot's of pad left. Will part with these for $100 shipped. This is about as good a track pad that you can get that can also be driven to and from the track.

Send me a PM if you're interested.

bump for lower prices and additional parts in the initial posting. And I'd love to post on my350z.com, but I didn't register on the site until now... so I have some time to wait until I can sell products on the site. Any referalls on that sight would be appreciated.

They are only rebound adjustable. I know there are two way adjustable Koni's as well... These are the ones that you'll find for almost $800 most other places (found a variation in prices for these dampers).

This is where I purchased mine:

bump for some additional information (pic and price change). I'd rather not post on ebay, I'd rather just pass this along to a g35driver member (or my350z.com member if they make it here).

They were considerably more comfortable than stock. I was also dropped almost 2 inches, and at the softest setting my car felt better than stock. On the stiffest setting, you do get a bumpy ride, but that's why it's nice to have the rebound adjustability.

50 of the 2000 miles were on the track (1 hpde day). It was probably 3 or 4 sessions on the track... half of which were in the rain, so speeds were a lot slower. It was only my second time at the track, so I wasn't really beating on the car as much as I would have if I were a seasoned track junkie.

Front is really easy. There's an adjustment tool that you use through the engine bay. The rear is a little trickier, but still not bad. You essentially have to jack up the car to adjust (enough to fit your arm into the wheel well). It's kind of hard to see on the picture, but on the rears (smaller of the two struts), near the top there is a mechanism that allows for adjustments (requires a small tool...I used a small allen wrench). Once you see these in person you'll see how it's done. I can also snap a pic later if you'd like of the rear adjustment, but I can assure you it isn't a horrible process.

And as far as settings are concerned...there isn't really a manual, but some instructions on how it's done. I basically set everything to the weakest setting and then base my settings off of that. There's essentially 2 1/2 turns that you can make with the adjustment tool on the shock. If I want a mid setting I'll turn it 1 1/4 turn from the weak setting. It doesn't sound all that scientific, but it really isn't difficult to figure out once you've done it a few times.

PM me if still interested.
