does anyone have any experience with these coilovers?

Do a search here and at my350z.com. I think the general consensus is that these are good coilovers for the money since you can get them under a grand. But if you're more of a performance oriented driver damping maybe a bit lacking.

dont do it. I havent tried it on any of the 350Z or G35s, but I've driven a handfull of 240's with them, they're for the most part...decent, but they fatigue pretty quick. most of them blow out after a few months of drifting and street driving. If you can afford expensive WORK rims and a +$30k car, you can afford a good reliable set of coilovers.

 

whats a good reliable set?

 

^ that really depends on how much you wanna spend. i would just spend the extra $300-400 and get some stance's.

 

yah..stance is pretty good from what I hear. take a ride with jensen. whatever you do, stay away from tein. just like the 240 guys who had megans, there are a amount of guys who went from tein to something better. most of them go with hks, silkroad or, swift springs coilovers. I think it was either shige or barry wong that was running zeals at one point...and then switching to something better? I forget. I know a miata guy using KW variant 3 and kills it in SCCA solo2. But these guys are a different breed and use and abuse them.

I would highly recommend the Bilstein PSS or PSS9 both the same, just that the "9" has user damping adjustability. Bilstein is reknowned to have self adjusting damping rates...something of a progressive damping rate. Then the KW Variant series. I've driven a few SCCA Solo1 Porsche 911's with the KW suspention. They helped with the Porsche's characteristic understeering. As most of us know, the G35 is a pig and understeers a lot too. I would think the KW would do the same for the G35 if setup properly. If you just want to spend the money and get the creme de la creme of suspension and getting what you pay for, go for the Ohlins or Zeal coilovers. You only hear good things about them. I'm kinda one sided with the Ohlins only because my 636 and my TZ has Ohlins shocks, forks, and dampers.

I think the either the KW or PSS/PSS9 would best suit your needs because the front springs are linear to get better feedback and the rear springs are progressive and perfect for Oahu's roads and spirited driving up in Tantalus.
