My first Z!

Ok guys I have been a Z fan for a very long time and Im very excited to say Im finally buying my own. Its a n/a and and automatic but only has 92k and the asking price is one I couldnt turn down. I will obviously HAVE to do some mods to the car. I would like to do a TT swap along with a 5 speed one day so Im going to start with the suspension. A new set of coilovers to start with, I would like to spend no more than $1200 on them. I dont know what company makes the best for these cars so if yall could help me out I would appreciate it.

Thanks, Josh

Are you looking to go fully adjustable? If you plan on lowering you'll want to get extra suspension bits to be able to get the proper alignment once it's all said and done.

I am not wanting to lower the car much, if at all. I just want the car to handle better but still have a decent ride. The n/a stock suspension deffinately wont cut it.

I think what a lot of people do is just replace the springs/shocks with better ones rather than going to coilovers. Mine already had coilovers when I got it and it's a pretty stiff ride but I got used to it.

Yes just go with a better suspension. My Z was already lowered when I got the car and it is not the comfiest ride but its okay once you get used to the bumpy roads.
