Coilovers in PA or NJ

I am researching coilover systems for my coupe. I would like to take a short ride in a car with a coilover system. Cusco Zero2s a plus. PM me, Thanks.

$20 for a 10 min passenger ride. I am also willing to extend my area to NY and MD.

I just installed my new BC Racing Coilovers.
I have it a little stiffer than most.

Located in North Jersey if you want to take the ride.
I'll take a Tanker full of gas for payment.
Thank you very much

I don't think $20 will get you a Tanker full. Offer still stands.

South Jersey here. Tein Flex's on my car. Brother has KW Varient 3's on his 350Z. Guy in our club also has the KW's on his G35. And I believe we also have a guy with Tein basic's. Project: Forward Motion. Google it.

Alright, I have some work to do. I have been educating myself about different coilover characteristics. I have a few questions.

Comparability Issue:

I keep seeing Spring Rating ranging 300-700 for Lbs/in and 8-12 for kg/mm. When I convert kg/mm to lbs/in, I do not get numbers in the 100s, but rather in the 10s. What is the equation?

Clarification:

Higher spring rate = faster response =harder ride

Any words about Rs-r Sports or HKS RS or LS+?

Thanks.

The tein flex's on my car feel really good. I have them set to 9 all the way around. its a little stiff but i like it that way. If you have edfc it makes life a lot easier. im not sure how the ride is on the softest setting because i have never tried it that way before.

I was never really into meets, and don't really drive my G that much (not to mention I am selling my house and moving)... so I most likely will pass. Yesterday was the first time I started or drove the car in probably 3 months, and that was just so that I could fbw5595 a ride to feel the coilovers. If there was something going on closer I might be into that.

Thanks again Toby55.
