Which coilover system for under $1100 ?
#31
I've seen that thread 100 times.
As far as what im sticking too, ill be getting some stillen sways and installing it myself. Unless I find an installer who does it for a spectacular price, which I doubt.
As far as coilovers, im going with Tein Basics. Im debating whether Its worth installing it myself though.

have you seen this thread: https://g35driver.com/forums/brakes-suspension/65190-g35-350z-aftermarket-coilover-springs-shocks-spec-s-w-updates.html
there's a ton of info in there.
I was thinkin about the stance then I read:
Stance coilovers (Monotube, true coilover in rear, 15 way adjustable dampning, full height adjustable
Spring rates 672/280*
*since rear springs are run on coilover body, they leverage more spring power to the rear wheel. To get the same spring power to the rear wheel as a 280lbs spring in the OEM location you would have to use a 448lbs spring.
CAUTION: Really good owner review's exist and at $1150 shipped they are a excellent value. But a number of owner's are experiencing issues with the lower shock mount bushing not being designed to carry the loads being asked of it since the oem setup was not designed to have the springs with the shocks. A new sperical bushing fix has been talked about, but hasn't been produced yet. One could alway's convert to a 448lbs spring setup in the oem location and avoid the whole issue.

i'd expect to pay anywhere from 250-350 for coilovers. but come to sd and you'll get a deal.
