    I have for sale my AMS coilovers. It seems they dont sell them individually on their site anymore, only as a full suspension kit with camber arms etc.

    I bought them about 18months ago, had them fitted, and did about 5000kms on them before I started to part the car. Its sat there for ages, and I finally got round to removing them to sell.

    They are IMO the perfect street car coilover. They fall into the middle level of coilovers. Theyre much better than those cheapo Megan coilovers you get from China. But theyre cheaper than Tein coils.

    Currently you can only get them in the full suspension kit from AMS for $1700USD + shipping. Shipping the coils alone cost me about $300 when I bought them.

    The coils alone cost $900US on AMS website + the $300US shipping (only option). So about $1300 landed new.

    As mentioned I only used them for 5000kms. Selling them for $850!

    Here is a link to the kit showing the coilovers:

    Now a bit about the coilovers:
    -They have perfect spring rates for Australian roads.
    8kg front and 6kg rears! This is way better than the ridiculously hard japanese coilovers you get. These can be real low, with a sporty ride, but with low spring rates for a comfier ride.

    -Pillow ball mounts.

    -Twin tube construction so if you ding them or something they will still work. Much better option for a street car.

    -20 levels of dampening adjustment on each coilover. Easily adjusted from the top of the coilover. Just remove the rubber cap and twist to adjust. This is handy if you know what youre doing and want to tweak the suspension to your desires or to firm it up on a track day or something.

    -Fully rebuildable with each part sold seperately from AMS.

    -They look pimp.

    -They are the lowest coilover out there for the Z! You can sit the wheels flush with the coils adjusted about halfway! When testing how low they could go, the other suspension parts were touching before the coils bottommed out. I could actually sit the front bumper on the ground if I wanted.

    Thats all ive got to say at the moment.
    I loved how low they could go, the low spring rates were perfect for Australian roads and street driving. All the benefits of a sportier ride, but still keeping the comfort you want with a street car.
    You could even adjust the pretension so itd be firm over small bumps but when you hit a big pothole theyd absorb the impact rather than shoot up your spine.

    If you do a google search youll find the reviews. There are haters out there saying blah blah twin-tube sucks only get Tein coilovers thats whats cool today. Then there are guys saying nah theyre not as good as my $6000 Aragosta coilovers theyre rubbish. Then theres the third team saying ive been using them for 40,000kms and love them, no issues ever, heaps of adjustment theyre great.

    Honestly IMO this is the best coilover you will get for this price. Theyre a middle range coilover so cant be compared to coils double the price. But they have proved to hold up very well without any complaints, and I think theyre a great choice. I was very happy with them.

    nobody keen? They are near brand spanking new. Had them on my street zed for about 5000kms driving to and from work for a few months thats it.
    Raised and lowered maybe 3 times till I got a height I liked.
    The damping adjustments are untouched.

    Its the best deal for coilovers under 1k out there. As noted I bought them $1300 delivered from AMS.

    Also note that AMS website prices do not include the $300+ freight for a set of coilovers. SO remember to factor that and exchange rates in. They also dont sell the coilovers on their own anymore. They come in a pricey full suspension kit. But most would prefer to mix and match trusted bits anyway.
