(SE3P) ROAD & TRACK COILOVERS - Normal Retail: $1265.00 Special Group Buy Pricing: $985.00
The Sport Street Coilovers feature a robust Race grade 45mm mono tube strut piston that is valved for the serious competitor and features aluminum pillow ball upper mounts to transfer more suspension energy through the strut piston shaft increasing the efficiency of the overall suspension duty. Full forged steel threaded shock bodies for independent ride height and spring preload adjustability and 9k/6k liner springs make the Sport Street Coilover System an "All Business" tool for Auto crossing and Road Racing. Designed for the true performance enthusiast looking for the extra edge during track time, it is also just civil enough to run on the street on a daily basis.

Details/Features:
-Direct Bolt On Fit, no modification required!
-Independent Ride height and Spring Preload adjustability
-9kg/mm - 200mm Front Springs and 6kg/mm - 200mm Rear Springs (springs rates available between 3kg/mm-17kg/mm)
-15 way strut damper adjustments
-Rear extensions/***** for easy adjustability
-Rear top mounts included
-Aluminum pillow-ball upper mount
-Race Grade 45mm strut piston
-Re-buildable/Replaceable Premium mono-tube forged steel strut body (Race Version ONLY)
-Re-buildable/Replaceable Premium mono-tube aluminum strut body (Ultra-Lite Version ONLY)
-Spring rates and lengths are customizable if desired. Any difference greater than 2k of the factory settings will require re-valving of the dampers at an additional charge.
-Excellent service that Powertrix has become known for in the Z world!

Pictures! These were the first set of Powertrix Sport Street coilovers produced for the SE3P platform. We determined the top collars on the front coilovers were absolutely unnecessary, so future coilovers will NOT have this feature.

My current ride height running Powertrix Road & Track coilovers - NO spring droop!


All four lined up! (NOTE: Will NOT include the very top collar seen on fronts - this was deemed unnecessary)

Hello,Tiltmode43.
One question, when you ship to Canada, what courier do you use? USPS? Please let me know, because other couriers charges big portion for duties.
Thank you

FedEx is used to ship internationally. Shipping via FedEx should include the brokerage fee itself, though I do not believe it covers duties/taxes.

Man I wish I could get these, but I just went over some speed bumps on another part of base and my car scraped once. My car is 5 1/4 inches high at it's lowest point! Whoever invented these demonic lumps in the road deserves to die slow and painful.

damn a 5" speedbump? thats crappy! my largest speedbump is less than 3". I can still go lower (which I am after I get wheels in a couple months).

Also these coilovers are sick!!! I have been running them since the last group buy and they handle great and are not overly bouncy on the crappy roads. and having damper adjustment and height independence of stroke it super nice.

With the stiffer coil over springs I doubt you will rub. I am way lower than you and I hardly scrape on speed bumps. You just have to go slow.

10/7 is just a little stiffer, it's personal preference.

I got mine with 10/7 and liked it but went to 11/8 since I'm more focused on how the car does on track. Streetability and comfort are pretty low on my list of priorities haha. If you're ever in the Phoenix area you can shoot me a PM and you can see what they're like first hand.

I would say go with the 9/6 for just street though, and then if you feel the need to go to 10/7 I have an extra set of springs in those rates in my garage I can let go for cheap but I doubt you'll need them.

Cool

How do you adjust ride height in the rear? Do you just spin the bottom half and loosen that single middle collar?

Install is pretty easy to do in a driveway with a basic mechanics tool set.
