Hey guys i was just looking for your opinions, should i get springs or coilovers. I live in wisconsin and we got over 100" of snow last winter so as much as i want to drop my car i dont want it to low for the winter, so i was thinking that having the adjustablitly of coilovers was probably the way to go. instead of trying to change out springs every winter. But i thought i would ask the pros befor i made any final thoughts.

Thanks for your help guys.

 

Not all coilovers can get to a oem coupe ride height and non of them allow for simple height adjustment without some kind of partial suspension disassembly. Though no where near a full install, it's not as simple as pulling a wheel and turning spanner wrench.

What oem rim size was your coupe delivered on and what build year is it?

What do you like abou the current suspension?

What don't you like about the current suspension?

 

I have an 03 coupe with 18s. I really like the suspension right now i just want the car a bit lower so i can get the even stiffer ride. The only thing i dont want is i dont want to have to roll the fenders and i dont want a bouncy ride.

I realize not all coilovers are easily adjustable and that not all can go back to OEM spec i just want to be able to raise the car up a bit in the winter so that i am not pushing to much snow.

Also i have toyed with the option of changing out springs and struts and just saving the OEM springs and struts and just throwing those back on every winter.

thanks for your help

 

HKS III CLX or Bilstein PSS9, much better dampning, much better shock piston stroke and you get height adjustablity. Both setups should be able to have a min drop of .5" when adjusted to the highest setting.

For springs Tein 350Z H-tech, though I would recommend investing $220 and install them with Tokico HP shocks at the very least. Drop amount should be about -.8"/-.7" and offer slightly stiffer spring rates vs your 2003 oem rates
358/375 vs 314/342

 

I was actually talking with another member who was selling his 350 H's from his 07 coupe, he was also going to send the sport suspension that came on his car with it. This kind of seemed like a good idea to me so then i could just switch out the suspension when winter came with my oem setup. I just want to make sure the the H-techs are good springs.

 

That sounds like a great idea to me.
