$300 eBay Coilovers vs. $2500 Coilovers - Is it worth it?

Are $2500 coilovers worth the money or can a $300 set get the job done? The HiLow boys (James Pumphrey, Zach Jobe, Aaron Parker and Nolan Sykes) set out to answer the tough questions about upgrading suspension.

We bought two identical Nissan 350z's and have been modifying them to be FUN daily drivers that you can take to the track. James Pumphrey and Zach Jobe's 350z gets the expensive parts, while Nolan Sykes and Aaron Parker's gets the cheap ones. Then we test them to see which components are actually worth spending the money on.

Hi Team got a set of fully adjustable KW Suspension V3s and Low Team spent $300 on a set of eBay coilovers… well they don’t actually even have a name.

So is it worth it? And which ones would you buy?

All im learning from this series is that when I finally get a project car I just have to build the mid car that this series did not feature.

THIS is what car channels should be doing with their money.

We really need to see Aaron more often. He's got a great attitude and is super skilled in everything

[lafcadiothelion]

Should’ve tested times before the coil over swaps

This series helped me get interesting in modifying cars thanks I’m broke now

[thespissak]

Should've done a control test with stock suspension first. Regardless, I'm surprised with the results

*Yours is three times bigger*
That's the type of discussion I have with friends

I spent $800 on some Megan Racing coilovers on a 92 SC400 and I was totally stoked with them. Great daily ride, dropped maybe 3/4", felt great.

It would have been interesting they had also done a baseline test with the stock set up to see if either kit is a significant improvement over stock.

This series was a dope idea.. you should turn it into a show

After years of playing around in many expensive hobbies, I have discovered exactly what they did- practice and experience make way more difference than throwing money at it. Only the best drivers can get the most out of the high dollar mods, so in the beginning spend your time and money on gas and track time

4:15 I thought I saw 2 nolans, freaked out for a second, fearing for the world's milk supply.

Y'all should do a luxury/comfort edition! I love to see the options on a season like that!

[chincemagnet]

I put Öhlins on my Evo X, the difference was incredible, my favorite mod out of pretty much almost anything performance related you can imagine on a 600 HP Evo
Can’t remember what paid for them, $2200 I think, totally worth it. When you consider a 100 HP gain on the Evo would cost you triple that for all the parts and tuning, I’d recommend getting the coilovers as one of your first big mods since the benefit to handling will make you much less likely to accidentally wreck your car
Actually, I ramped a ditch trying to avoid a deer and they held up fine and I still had just enough ground clearance to avoid damaging anything. Although, to be fair, I set my ride height a little higher than most people due to the crappy roads where I live

[hMint]

I personally think that you should do everything on the "low" z on the driveway like the average person who buys cheaper parts would be doing

I am so stoked to be 3 years late to this party so that I can binge watch this series! I loved the Time Attack cars, being a former owner of an '06 WRX myself, and I have loved the 350Z and drift for many years as well. This playlist looks like it's going to be very exciting! Let the adventure begin!

[Taayter]

I'm so glad this series is on YouTube now!
