Anyone running coilovers on their ZO? If so what do you think of the set up?

A lot of people use coil overs of various manufacturers. PFADT seems to be the most popular. Use either search or search this forum (in the red banner) in C5 Tech to find more information on PFADT. Use that name as keyword.

But, if you change the title of your thread to the topic you wish discussed (instead of your user name), you'll probably draw more attention and replies.

You can click on the red triangle beneath your user name and ask a moderator to change the title for you...

I'm running the Pfadt coilovers and swaybars on my 2001 Z. I keep them softer for the street (my car is my commuter - 52mi./day) and stiffen them for the HPDE's. Even at the softer settings, the handling is better than stock. I wouldn't go back and the locals that I've let drive my car love the handling as well.

Pfadt's here as well. Huge improvement in ride over stock plus like stated above, you can change from soft to hard in less than 5 mins. I wouldn't go back for anything either.

Thanks friend. Still figuring out how the post works as I am new and this is my first post on the site. Sold my Subaru STI and bought an 01 ZO6.
I am officially in love now.
