I'm thinking of putting coilovers on my Z. Would like to lower it a bit more, and get the alignment to some decent settings. And, to just do it. I'd rather have bolt-in vs welding, but okay with cutting for better access to the camber plates. Street driven car by old guy, so good ride with ability to have fun in the curves occasionally.

I haven't seen any posts newer than a few years old, so just wondering what is a good choice nowadays. I see BC, Silver Mine, Megan, etc., and others. Even Techno Toy Tuning, pricey, but they are 30 minutes up the road from me. They even have strut casings available if I choose not to cut mine up. Maybe throw in one of their steering racks while I'm at it.

Anyway, just wondering what some recent experiences/opinions are out there.

Thanks

The reason I originally went with coil over shocks was I removed the ridicules bumpers off of my 78 280z and replaced with them with the 240 series style. I removed the bumpers/crash absorbers and that weight itself, with the stronger springs allowed the car to raise well over 2”. I could have gone in a different direction but the coil overs gave me the opportunity to dial in the height. The Swift springs from Japan gave it a softer ride. It handles great and glad I went the route I did. Considerable fabrication involved. IMO well worth it.
