The 2 bucket way.... I am not a fan, I use 3 buckets, I find that when cleaning the rag or sponge in the 2nd bucket, sometimes it picks up dirty water into new bucket, so 1st bucket soapy water, 2nd bucket to clean the dirt of the rag, and 3rd bucket to clean the dirty water from the 2nd bucket. I find that is enough buckets to keep the rag clean  s:) :) s:)

Let's get this crystal clear.
No discounted rate nearly new coilovers for anyone that is a car cleaning Nazi!!!!
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Just got off the blower to BC and although they do make softer springs none of them are applicable to the zzw30.
So i am back to square one.
Who has coilovers fitted and will take me for a spin?
Have beer vouchers will travel.

Try asking DaveGTST - he bought my old car which had 4/6 rate springs on aPexi N1's - he lives in Stevenage.

That's a bit of a long haul for a south London boy but i will bear it in mind.
Thanks

Did you find them reasonable on road or was it mainly track stuff?

Hello Scott,

Personally I think the 4/6 will be fine.

The thing is springs rate play a role in how the suspension feel.
However, the damper valving is the most important factor in determining how the suspension feel.

And having adjustments don't necessary mean the ride can will be softer, as it depends on how the damper valving react in the first 5% of the initial suspension movement.
This initial movement is something we paid a lot of attention to, and that is why many owners find the MeisterR more compliant than the BC coilovers (speaking subjectively as I don't have data to back this claim up).

Now, the way I see is if you are interested, try the 4/6 first.
You can give us feedback and we can work something out for you.
But we been offering to the ZZW30 community for a while now and none of the customers every told us that the suspension was uncomfortable.

Again, personal opinion, I think the Zeta-R might possibly be more comfortable than the TRD kit.
The reason for that is I know the Japanese manufacturer like to use a very "square" damper valving, and that mean that 5% initial movement is actually quite hard.
They do this to put steering response into a chassis, but the result is a harsh ride on the road especially through long motorway trip.
So give MeisterR a try, and if you are not happy that is why we are here to try and help out.   s:) :) s:)

They're were offering up to 20% discount if we  could get a group buy going.
So that would be better.
Has anyone here bought any. I know people love the BC but they could be worth the extra.
Don't forget Mark that my car isn't a stripped out track day toy rather something i can use all the time everywhere.

To be honest you would probably be better off with some really nice Koni FSd dampers or adjustable dampers and TTE or Tien Springs.

I just want you to get BCs so I can get some discount  s:D :D s:D

The thing is if i get new dampers new springs and new topmounts it will cost me more than coilovers.
280 for dampers
140 for springs
160 for front topmounts.
Thats BC right about there.
Not sure about the rear.

Car has done 61k so would rather prempt any issues and replace the lot.

But it would be far more comfortable. The only thing Coilovers would offer would be height adjustment. Do you really need that? I have known loads of people fit Coilovers on their cars over the years and never touched them once after fitting!

I would agree with that. Are the topmounts worn out? I changed struts and springs on a simialar mileage roadster and just repacked the topmount bearings and it was the most sweet handling roadster that I have owned. That had the KYBs and FK springs.

I was assuming that they wouldn't last for ever and that if i had the suspension in pieces it would be a good idea to change.
The car has now done 61k and i thought it would be due new shocks, i find my current TTE springs a bit low and was thinking coilovers would give me the option to play with height. Matts brace catches on speed bumps something awful.
As always i am looking to learn from more experienced members.
