Help - Need to revert back to original suspension

Hi everyone,

 

I have recently bought a beautiful 370z second hand. The owner before me had fitted Eibach Pro Kit Springs and a rear camber kit / spacers, which in my opinion is all for looks (and it does look great).

 

However, the suspension voids my warranty and I am constantly having to drive like a grandpa over speedhumps and scraping the bottom when going in my drive, so I want to revert back to the original springs. Luckily the previous owner gave me the original springs (not sure about the rear camber stuff though, not sure if I need them?). Also IMO I am sure a lot of money was invested by Nissan to get the original suspension perfect for the car on normal roads. I will not be taking the car on track.

 

So my question is does anyone recommend a trusted garage around SW London/ Surrey who can work on a 370z other than a main dealer? And also once I have the Eibach stuff taken off does anyone want to buy them from me?

 

Cheers

 

Sabs

Take it to Abbey Motorsport in Oxted - one of the better specialists in the South East. Also worth enquiring about exhaust upgrades while you're at it to unleash a more tuneful ride. Sounds very "meh" as standard...

Thanks for the advice I was actually looking on the internet and Abbey came up a couple of times so will give them a buzz in the morning after your recommendation :).

 

The car already has a Milltek exhaust, although resonated so may be interested to hear other options.

Remember you will need a full wheel alignment once you swap everything over.

 

Also the stock suspension makes the car move about a bit at high speed, so really depends on what you want from the car but I would definitely think about it.

Yes Eibach ARBs first which made a big difference in making the 370 feel much more planted and are a cheap improvement. The Tein monoflex are imho superior to OEM in every way but expensive, it is just a case of what you want from the car really.

I have Whiteline bars which made a nice difference

Now I've got used to the car like that I'm looking to sharpen the handling up a bit more

 

I don't really track but do go out and drive hard and also did euro trip this year which I plan to do most year's
