Coilover Options (Updated 2017 Links, Cost)

[AlbatrossCafe]

At the risk of sounding redundant, I wanted to put together a coilover list. There are a few of these threads/topics around the internet already, but lots of them are from years towards 2006 (I didn't even have my driver's license yet) and have old, outdated links, or are not very comprehensive and easy to read.

I am looking at coilover sets for my '78 280z so these links will be specific to that (mainly so I can reference it later). Assume that all are ride-height adjustable. I didn't look super hard for lowest price, so the options may be cheaper somewhere else.

Order: Expensive --> Least Expensive
Format: Name | Cost | Colors/Special Notes | Link

Wow those are pretty nice.  You running those?

[wheee!]

Yes, I have a set, Check my build thread for the details, as the coil overs just got welded to the spindles a couple weeks ago. The car is still on the rotisserie so no street feedback yet....So far I really like the style and quality.

For some reason I thought those were the same as the Megan coilovers (similar colors & price point) but I guess not. Added!

I was under the impression that CX Racing sells chinese junk.

Ground control sells camber plates BTW. And GC would be my brand of choice for coilovers and camber plates. Like TTT, GC also has a service where they'll do your coilovers for you.

Don’t get me wrong, there is a lot of stuff out there that is junk, Chinese or not. These seem to be well made and designed. They are very similar to Megan racing parts but a lot cheaper in Canada.
I have no reason to question their quality yet, but as I said, the car is still on the rotisserie. Pricing can be deceiving when it comes to discerning quality. Paying 50% more for the same part doesn’t increase its quality, only the gullibility of the buyer. Shop around, find the part that suits your needs and get honest reviews. In my case, the car will be street driven and taken to shows more than anything. No hard abuse.

https://technotoytuning.com/nissan/240z/240z-260z-and-280z-solid-pillow-mounts

Don't forget to add the cost of shocks for all four corners to that build idea then too....
