I was wondering how many people were running these coilovers and how they rated them compared to past experiences. Also if you are running them with the z32 rears i would most def. want your opinion thnx

Ive got them with the Z32 rears.

They're cool.

***FaLKoN240*** · 07-04-2006, 09:07 PM

I'm running them and they feel great. No complaints here.

ive been running them and they handle well, clear wheels excellent, but rust/rot out faster than any other part on my car. I live in new england and the mounts were seized within the first winter fwiw

anyone else having rusting problems? also with the fitment ont he z32 rears did you have to play with the height adjustment much?

Bryants95240sx · 07-05-2006, 10:07 PM

They're great for what they are: entry-level SA enthusiast coilovers. They lack development, like 99% of coilovers sold for the S-chassis.

Will they be fine for your application? More likely than not, yes. Are they fine for a highly modified car aiming for maximum cornering velocity? No.

What would your choice of coilovers be with a budget of about $1,500?

I'm still waiting for the pricing on the Peak Performance DA coilovers to be announced. With any luck it should be around $1750-2000 for the race version. There is no other coilover out there I would consider.

By the way, right now I'm running KTS coilovers. 29k hard street miles, ~520 track miles, two parking lot drift events since September 2004. The improper valving was apparent once I started gripping the car in the mountains; on the track it wasn't so apparent since my first event was a drift event. The more I gripped, the more I griped. The left front is damn near blown now. Overall, though, I'm pretty happy with their performance for the money... nothing like blowing stock Evos into the weeds with $1040 coilovers.
