For anyone considering these coilovers, beware that the s pro line has had some quality issues with the rear shocks-at least one being clunky sounding over bumps.
The quality of the product seems good out of the box. Packaging is nice, hardware etc looks like good quality.
Installation is fairly easy if you’ve done springs or coils before. Very straightforward. Although it’s interesting that they tell you to check the top nuts on the shocks and struts before install-seems like manufacturing quality control issues from distributor? Or they are continuously seeing returns from noises and maybe deducing that it’s from loose top nuts. All nuts were tight on my set up (except the replacement shock, it came loosely set up, not sure why they wouldn’t have these torqued down from factory prior to ship).
Clunk sound-I’ve driven on these for over 2-3 weeks now. Passenger rear shock had a clunk loose sound, talked to z1 and they said check the nut and install. Double checked everything and it was all good. Set the firmness to a little harder and noise was still apparent. Z1 said they have had this Issue with other sets of their S Pro line, but stated it was minimal. They make you pay $150 for the new shock and reimburse you when you send the old one back.
The ride quality does seem good from what I’ve experienced. Firm in the front and softer in the rear so the rear can squat for spirited driving. It’s a very similar ride quality to stock, so if it’s your daily driver I do think you’d enjoy them.
If I went back, I’d buy another brand. Any issue straight out of the box has me concerned with quality and long term durability. Only time will tell.
