Roman C came to Z Car Garage earlier this year to have his 2008 Nissan 350z inspected. After going over the car he expressed his goals and one was full suspension upgrades. We installed KW V3 coil-overs and replaced bushings throughout with Whiteline parts. ZCG has performed many KW suspension installs and we really like how they work, using them exclusively on the 300zx(z32) and 350z models.
OEM vs KW coil-overs front and rear:
Whenever we do a coil-over installation and lower the ride height we always use the SPC front and rear camber arms. This ensures that a customer gets the desired ride height, handling and tire wear:
Stock vs SPC upper control arms, with a full alignment following installation:
OEM sway bars were replaced with our favorite units from sway bars from Hotchkis:

A common upgrade/maintenance item we routinely perform is differential bushing replacement. Here, again we use Whiteline bushings:
Roman had a few bolt-ons like intake and exhaust so we UPREV tuned. Peak numbers of 304hp/260tq to the wheels was achieved but more importantly the power gains are seen throughout the rev range:
Roman was super stoked with the results. We took care of a few maintenance items like replacing a drive belt and peforming a coolant flush. Finally, he had he bought some new wheels/tires so we mounted and balanced them for him.
Enjoy The Ride Roman!
