Best Coilovers for the Nissan 370Z (2009-2020)
The Nissan 370Z's Z34 platform sits lower than most people expect from the factory, but the stock suspension is a compromise — soft enough to pass NVH targets, stiff enough to feel crashy over broken pavement. The result is a car that understeers more than its rear-wheel-drive reputation suggests and rolls enough to upset corner balance. A proper coilover kit fixes all of that and lets you actually run the wheel fitment the platform deserves. What to look for on a 370Z specifically: the rear uses a true-coilover conversion for most kits (the OEM rear spring perch is separate from the damper), so confirm your kit explicitly lists true-coilover or separate-spring rear configuration — it affects install complexity and ride-height independence. Spring rates, damper stroke, and whether the kit is valved for street or track use matter more here than brand prestige. Below are the strongest options we stock, ranked by use case.

1. Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers — 2009+ Nissan 370Z (Z34) (True Style Rear)
Fortune Auto 500 Series Coilovers for the 370Z — $1799
Fortune Auto's 500 Series is the benchmark for street-to-track coilovers on the Z34 — not because it's the cheapest or the flashiest, but because the valving is done right out of the box for a car in this weight class. The 500 Series uses a monotube damper with 16-way rebound adjustment, and Fortune Auto's true-coilover rear configuration means ride height is fully independent of spring preload. These are built in the USA and can be revalved by Fortune Auto directly as your build evolves — that serviceability alone justifies the price premium over entry-level kits for anyone planning more than one track day per year.
2. Fortune Auto 500 Super Low Series Coilovers — 2009+ Nissan 370Z (Z34) (True Style Rear)
Fortune Auto 500 Super Low Series Coilovers for the 370Z — $2199
If you're chasing an aggressive static stance without sacrificing damper function — this is the kit. The Super Low Series is engineered specifically for builds that need significantly more drop than a standard 500 Series can achieve while keeping the damper in its proper stroke range. The Z34's fender clearance is surprisingly generous for a sport coupe, and this kit takes advantage of that without forcing you into a blown-out damper on full droop. Same USA-built monotube construction and revalve program as the standard 500, but with shorter body length and revised spring rates to match. Ideal if you're pairing with a set of aggressive-fitment wheels and need the car to sit correctly.
3. Silvers Neomax 2-Way Coilovers — 2009-2020 Nissan 370Z Z34 (SN1015-2W)
Silvers Neomax 2-Way Coilovers for the 370Z — $2199
Silvers is a Japanese brand that doesn't get nearly enough credit in the Z34 community — the Neomax 2-Way has separate rebound and compression adjustment, which puts it in a category most enthusiasts associate with kits costing $3,000+. For an owner who is actively tuning suspension setup between track days — adjusting for tire compound, track surface, or aero changes — independent damping control is genuinely meaningful, not a spec-sheet checkbox. Silvers sources quality internal components and tunes their valving specifically for each application rather than using a one-size-fits-all internal. At $2199, this is the pick if you want Japanese engineering and dual-way adjustability without going full-race.
4. Silvers Neomax 1-Way Coilovers — 2009-2020 Nissan 370Z Z34 (SN1015)
Silvers Neomax 1-Way Coilovers for the 370Z — $1399
Same Silvers Neomax platform, single combined damping adjustment. For the majority of Z34 owners who aren't swapping between track-day and street settings on a per-session basis, the 1-Way hits a better value point — you get the same application-specific Japanese valving and build quality as the 2-Way at $800 less. The single dial manages rebound and compression simultaneously, which is still meaningfully better than a fixed damper. If your driving is 80% canyon runs and 20% occasional track days, the 1-Way is the more rational buy. Pairs well with a comprehensive suspension refresh including end links and bushings.
5. ISC N1 Coilover Kit Street Sport — 2009-2019 Nissan 370Z
ISC N1 Street Sport Coilovers for the 370Z — $1199
ISC's N1 line is where the brand made its reputation — twin-tube dampers with 32-way damping adjustment and ride-height adjustability independent of spring preload. The Street Sport tune uses valving optimized for daily driven 370Zs that see the occasional spirited run: softer than the Track variant at low-speed compression, which keeps the ride civilized on public roads without going numb. At $1199, the N1 Street Sport competes directly with BC Racing on price but offers more damper adjustability range. ISC also has a solid domestic support network for warranty and service questions, which matters on a car you drive year-round. Check out our 370Z VQ37VHR build guide for where coilovers fit in the overall mod order.
6. ISC N1 Coilover Kit Track/Race — 2009-2019 Nissan 370Z
ISC N1 Track/Race Coilovers for the 370Z — $1199
Same N1 hardware as the Street Sport but revalved stiffer from the factory — higher spring rates and compression damping tuned for consistent lap behavior rather than street comfort. On a 370Z being run at HPDE events or time attack, the stiffer valving resists brake-dive better and keeps the rear planted through high-speed direction changes where the street tune can start to wallow. Not the right call for a daily driver; if you're commuting on this car, buy the Street Sport instead. But if the Z lives on trailers on weekends, the Track/Race is the more honest setup. Read our guide on picking 200TW tires for HPDE and autocross to complement this coilover choice.
7. ISC Basic Coilover Kit Street Sport — 2009-2019 Nissan 370Z
ISC Basic Street Sport Coilovers for the 370Z — $1081
The ISC Basic is the entry point of the lineup — fewer damping adjustment clicks and a simpler twin-tube design, but the same ride-height adjustability and proper Z34 fitment as the N1. For an owner who wants to drop the car correctly, firm up the handling, and not touch the damper adjustment after initial setup, the Basic Street Sport does the job at $1081. It's not the kit you bring to a time attack, but for a 370Z that gets driven hard on weekends and needs to look right on a set of Work Wheels or similar fitment, it's a completely defensible choice. Also available in a Track/Race tune at the same price point if you want stiffer valving.
How to Choose Coilovers for the 370Z
True-coilover rear vs. perch-style rear: The Z34's OEM rear suspension separates the spring from the damper. Most quality kits solve this with a true-coilover rear (spring wraps the damper), which gives you ride-height adjustment independent of spring preload. Confirm this before buying any kit — kits that use a perch-only rear approach limit how low you can go before losing suspension travel.
Street vs. Track valving: This is a real distinction, not marketing. Track-valved kits use higher spring rates and stiffer compression damping tuned for consistent, repeatable behavior at speed on smooth pavement. They feel jarring on public roads. Street-valved kits are tuned to handle surface variation and use softer low-speed compression. If your car is driven daily, buy the street tune without compromise.
Damper adjustability: Single-way (combined rebound/compression), 16-way rebound-only, and two-way (separate rebound + compression) are the tiers represented here. More adjustability is only an advantage if you're actively dialing in the car. Most street-driven 370Z owners set their dampers once and leave them — in that case, paying a premium for two-way adjustment isn't the priority.
Serviceability: The 370Z is a long-term platform for most owners who buy one. Fortune Auto's domestic revalve program is a concrete advantage — if your driving evolves (more track time, added power, tire changes), you can ship your dampers back and have them revalved without buying new coilovers. Factor that into the total cost of ownership, not just the purchase price.
Wheel fitment interaction: Ride-height adjustment directly affects how your wheel fitment sits in the arch. A kit that allows fine-tuning in small increments — rather than coarse perch adjustments — gives you more control over the final look. If you're building around a specific wheel and tire combination, err toward a kit with wider ride-height range.

FAQ
Do all of these coilovers fit the 2009-2020 Nissan 370Z including the Nismo variant?
The ISC kits are listed through 2019 — confirm fitment with ThreePiece for 2020 model year or Nismo-trim vehicles, as the Nismo uses a different suspension tune and potentially different mounting hardware. BC Racing, Silvers Neomax, and Fortune Auto kits listed here cover the full Z34 production run through 2020 on standard trims. Always cross-reference your specific trim before ordering.
What drop can I expect from these kits on a 370Z?
Most of these kits allow 1–3 inches of drop depending on the kit and spring rate selected. The Fortune Auto 500 Super Low Series is specifically engineered for greater drop beyond what the standard 500 Series can achieve while maintaining proper damper stroke. If you're targeting a very aggressive stance, the Super Low is the only kit on this list designed for that purpose without compromising damper function.
Can I install these coilovers myself, or do I need an alignment shop?
Installation is within reach for anyone with a proper lift, spring compressor, and torque wrench — the Z34 front strut and rear multilink aren't unusually complex. However, a four-wheel alignment is mandatory after any coilover install, and the 370Z's rear camber and toe are sensitive to ride-height changes. Budget for alignment immediately after install. Some builders also add adjustable rear camber arms and toe links at the same time to maximize alignment range.
Should I replace other suspension components at the same time?
On any Z34 with over 60,000 miles, it makes sense to inspect and replace end links, sway bar bushings, and upper strut mounts while the suspension is apart. Worn bushings will mask the improvement a new coilover provides — you'll spend money on the kit and still feel vagueness in corner transitions. Check the suspension category for complementary components. Also, if you're swapping wheels at the same time, review your lug nuts and hubcentric rings for the new fitment.
