(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/knobs 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.

Another 10k/7k spot taken!

lude1888 06-01-2012 01:48 PM

Damn I just bought coilovers 2 weeks ago! Oh well.

tiltmode43 06-07-2012 12:42 AM

PM's replied!

Matrx8 06-09-2012 03:16 AM

Bump for a great guy and a great product! I'd do it if I wasn't going airbag.

james25520 06-10-2012 08:58 PM

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

tiltmode43 06-11-2012 03:25 AM

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

Matrx8 06-11-2012 09:50 AM

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.

mavictb 06-11-2012 02:37 PM

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.

nuke0907 06-12-2012 05:14 PM

when is the last day for this group buy?

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.

just got done giving my coils a good work out on the tail of the dragon! loving them

Matrx8 06-13-2012 01:31 AM

What is the difference between the 9/6 and 10/7? Which would you recommend for my car?

mavictb 06-13-2012 02:21 AM

10/6 for a non tracked / non aggressive fitment car

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.

lude1888 06-13-2012 08:50 AM

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

9krpmrx8 06-13-2012 09:04 AM

Yep. loosen the lowest collar, and spin the bottom piece.

david_d_durant 06-13-2012 10:11 PM

Are you able to re valve these? And how hard are they to install im trying to save as much money as possible. I want these so bad.

Darkpoison187 06-17-2012 12:55 PM

Gonna be sending my deposit this Friday

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

goose guy 06-23-2012 05:02 PM

I wanna get these coilovers. Just waiting for Tiltmode to come by these forums and confirm that the GB is still on.

We are 100% still a go!! If you do want to grab a set, be sure to let me know.

Thanks to everyone in this thread answering questions & helping out as well!

tiltmode43 06-26-2012 01:48 AM

OP Updated!

These should be landing within the next week or so! Current ETA to Powertrix would be July 3rd but due to holiday, this date is tentative and subject to chance.

Remember, this will be the LAST group buy at this price!!

goose guy 06-26-2012 02:29 PM

Ok, I'm in. Deposit paid for a 9k/6k set. PM sent.

mavictb 06-26-2012 04:40 PM

surprised that this GB is so barren. This coilovers are sick and this GB makes them a even better deal.

nuke0907 06-27-2012 06:26 AM

Ordered mine. Also ordered new tires to start getting my car back up and running.

larkin 06-27-2012 04:27 PM

I'm pretty close to putting my deposit down. My only hesitation is I know nothing about setting these up.

Will some suggested settings be given for various conditions (aggressive street vs. autox) and can they be adjusted without removing the wheels?

Lastly, and this is not meant to be a "gotcha" but might explain the lower participation: Powertrix has the SS coilovers listed on their site for $1,025 + $50 ship, not $1,265. So, still $100 savings but not $300 savings. http://www.powertrix.com/z32coils.htm

Matrx8 06-27-2012 05:23 PM

Probably because most people interested got theirs last time.

Bobbydigital211 06-27-2012 09:46 PM

I was gonna be all over these when this GB went up but my DUI is sucking up all my funds. Poor choices screw good things up. Will have to wait till its paid off and funds are available. :/

Regarding the settings, damping can be adjusted at the twist of a knob without removing any sort of hardware. Height adjustments, however, do require removing the wheels and getting a realignment after. The height adjustment is intended to allow each individual to find their own 'sweet spot' given their driving style and use. As far as 'recommended' settings go, this is a bit difficult to generalize due to numerous factors. Tire compound, tire size, other suspension components, alignment settings, road conditions, etc. can all play a factor in how a car handles/responds. Because of this, some slightly differing damping settings may be ideal for any given scenario. It will not be difficult to adjust yourself though - for example, if you notice a bit of understeer - soften up the front a tad and increase the rear a bit. Changes as such *can* be noticed oneself and adjusted, though there may be a differing learning curve from one individual to another.

Regarding pricing, WOW! I am actually a bit embarrassed here as the initial post was somewhat of a typo on my end. In changing the coilover names around a bit, I mislabeled this thread as containing the SS coilovers. Currently, the only coilovers offered to the SE3P platform are the R/T Road & Track coilovers! The UL Ultra-Lite coilover system may be a future option as well but these are more for the serious track drivers out there.

If I am honest, it may be due to the fact I have not pushed this GB thread as much as I did the previous to. As of right now, the only real way anyone has seen the thread is via the GB section which only gets a limited number of coverage. Thread views of the old threads and this thread somewhat confirm this idea but that said - I have gotten a bunch of PM's lately!

Updated OP - with the final days coming in, looks like these will begin selling very quick. Remember, this will be the last opportunity to get these coilovers at this price!

tiltmode43 06-28-2012 01:15 PM

Updated the OP list again, thanks for the PM's everyone!

RageBrah 06-28-2012 11:50 PM

Hey I'm in New Zealand so could you give me a shipped price if possible?

If you can, please PM me your full ship address. Quite a few sets of Z32 Powertrix coilovers have made it to NZ & Aus, about time an SE3P set heads that way :icon_tup:

Excuse me sir, are you saying "meow"?

Renesis 8 07-16-2012 03:52 PM

So when are these getting shipped out?

tiltmode43 07-17-2012 02:31 AM

Per Powertrix email, shipping should have begun today. I believe the RX8 coilovers require an inspection prior to shipping, so may be 1-2 days later than the standard Z coilovers.


Coilovers are HERE. Shipping will commence on Monday the 16th for all those that are Paid in Full and we will email you with your individual tracking numbers.
Balances are now due on orders with deposits. Please use the payment links below or inform us if you would like us to use your Credit Card on file to pay for the balance. Also we have added the Balance payment link for SE3P Coilovers:
