Caber Kits

I have the Cusco Front Camber Kit and Stillen Camber and Toe Kit for the rear , I feel the Stillen is very overpriced but it works fine if you can find one thats less expensive i totally recommend it save some money

The VRT system needs two things to be successfull.

One, full disclosure about how the product differ's from Stance coilovers and a R&D story that supports how Stance's own specs were proven to be insufficient as to cause the need for such a change.

Two, a independent review from someone that is not connected to the shop, someone that actually know's what good behavior and bad behavior actually is. Though 4 dampners could be sent to ProPartsUsa for dyno's at 1/2 and full settings at .3sec. as something of a sub.

The Koni's have excellent valving and can easily be adapted to run up to 560lbs spring rates in the front.



Curious, what was you cost for the modification?

Note:
The suspension components are the same for all Zs, Gs, and even Xs (except lower horss-shoe arm of course on the Xs).

The spring wraps over the shock and the ride height is easy to obtain.

Dampening on front and rear is 24 way.

Spring rates are

1200 front
800 rear

Might sound stiff yet with great valving and dampening the ride is awesome on all platforms and performance is great.

I will be practicing at Cal-speedway on the Roval with my Four-time winning Yellow Time Attack 350z Friday and Sunday if any of you want to check things out in person.

Hopefully Vulcan can come out on Sunday and we can get his G35x in action passing some Vettes and Porsches...LOL

For those of you asking with my manufacturer is, Come on...

Why not ask
Stillen - Who makes your Sways and Exhaust
JWT - Manifolds and piping
Nike - Shoes
Victoria Secret - Bras and panties.

Look, I can assure you these aren't made in China and aren't made for any other company. These are custom for VRT, true and-true.

6 Month Warranty and 30 Day Money Back Guarantee.

Here is the pict of the shock on the rear as you asked Fei.

1200 front
800 rear:
Sorry, couldn't find the right icon to express

I'd love to see camera footage of the tires from within the wheel wells showing all tire contact patches. Spring rate increases are only beneficial up to the point that the given setup can no longer maintain tire contract. Your talking spring rates that make no utter sense outside of GT500, never heard of any Grand-AM team's running that much spring either. And it's not even within the realm of reason to say the likes of Ohlins, Moton, or JRZ have the type of valving magic to make that much spring work. I really hope someone internally slipped you incorrect info, otherwise your only hope will be to hook the uninformed, sorry to say.

What if VRT is willing to sell the custom arms only? This may prove mutually beneficial for members and VRT. Since members can choose from the many coilovers out in the market already, and I'm sure VRT will get more buyers for the arm until more members long term test VRT's coilovers.

Now your comparing to yourself to a big corp. I think the big difference is these company design/engineer their products and send them out to be mfg. Whereas you found a generic brand (taiwan is what u told me?) and rebranded. Is that why u dont know anything about them?

I see Money Back Guarantee is now 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. Big difference. So is my check in the mail?

Thanks for detailed pic...

Seems like its not a matter of whether the coilovers are good but VRT's customer svc.

Noticed, he still hasnt answered yor question on lowering 2pc rear. I'd be pissed and go back to stock too. And then your SOL on the money back since its +30days. but then again u had issues in 2weeks...dude!!

Looks like the 2 'guinea pigs' are 04X. Will they fit '06x??
Car was sitting on rack in Infiniti dealership inoperable the whole time.

Took about a 1month to get ahold of. First was going to get updated version which he was going to charge me $1000 even tho only 1arm was to be redone. I was fine with since insurance was going to pay for either aftermkt or stock. I just wanted to get my car out of shop. Didnt hear anything back...got to frustrated and asked him to send me my stock suspension. Long story short took them 4-6weeks to send out stock right (issues w/ shipping). Finally got it and had only front suspension which was damaged and missing rear suspension.

The only reason i can think of takin that long is knew my parts were missing/damaged and stringing me along. Ended buying new stock parts. Insurance covered only passenger side.

Not sure bout fitting 06x.

i am just confused why you need the arms.

I know the X differs from the RWD because the front shocks have to go around the front drive. so instead of connecting straight to the knuckle, the strut uses that hook like arm to go around.
