Stupid adds (don't look)-------->
A question for the group. What are the drawbacks of rebound only adjustable coilovers/shocks over combined compression/rebound adjustable ones? I'm looking at two sets of coilovers for my 350Z, the tien flex (or mono flex) or the SPL KTS system. I like the overall design and build of the SPL KTS coilovers and this seems their only drawback. I'm not sure if the 300Z KTS ones are rebound only adjusting or not. Both of these coilovers maintain the factory rear spring position (on the lower arm instead of moving it to around the shock which is mounted to the upper arm). Any thoughts, experience, advice from group is most welcome. |

| Have you talked to Kuah (SPL) himself yet? I'd start there first. He's pretty knowledgeable and should be happy to explain. |

For the record, here's the answer:
Hi Jeff,
The adjustment does adjust both compression and rebound, however as in ALL singly adjustable coilovers, the adjustment affects PRIMARILY rebound. This includes Tein, JIC, Stance, etc. If you look at the shock dynos the changes to compression damping is very minor.
We wanted to be more accurate in our descriptions, but we have revised it now since it is confusing to alot of people... |
