Shockworks Suspension

Time for a change in suspension, the Z has outgrown the old Cusco Zero2's. I picked up a set of Shockworks due to good feedback from others and local support. So after chatting to Chris at Shockworks, he supplied a set of 370Z shocks valved for use with semi slicks. Spring rates are 14 kg/mm front and 8 kg/mm rear. Initial driving on the street showed that the car has good ride compliance and the steering feels more direct now. The ride is more firm than the Cusco's but doesn't crash when going over bumps. It also seems flatter around sweeping corners at moderate speed. A big thanks to Macgillaz for the installation help and Chris for the setup advice. I'm looking forward to test and adjust these soon at the track.
