Nissan Z Coilovers
This page is for the new Nissan Z, the one with just a letter on the badge and no number. For Nissan Z coilovers, we carry two BC Racing kits, plus a Swift spring set.
For a 2022, 2023 or later car, call 1-800-460-9106.
Animated illustration. It shows where coilovers sit on a car, not your exact kit. Depending on the car and the kit, coilovers can lean forward or back or stand straight up, and some cars use a separate spring and shock in the rear. Your ride height depends on the kit and how it is set up.
How to pick between the two Z kits
With two BC kits, the choice comes down to your model year.
This is BC's "Fairlady Z/400z" kit.
This is BC's "Z RWD (True Rear Coilovers)" kit.
Both kits are made for 2023 cars, so check with us first.
Two BC kits, four series
BC Racing sells four series for the Nissan Z: BR, DS, ER and ZX. Both BC kits come in all four. Free shipping on BC Racing kits in the continental US.
Picking a BC series for your Z
Here is how the four BC series differ.
BC Racing BR coilovers set compression and rebound together with one 30-click knob. DS does the same and adds a digressive piston.
ER is an upright shock with an outside fluid reservoir. Compression and rebound each get their own 30 clicks.
ZX is the series BC calls "most track-tested."
Swift Springs for the Z
This is the only other product we carry for the Z so far. Questions? Call 1-800-460-9106.
These lowering springs are made for the 2023 to 2024 RZ34. They are springs only, with no shocks.

Before you buy: what Z owners run into
Here is what Z owners report most often on owner forums, in recalls and in service bulletins, and what it means for your install.
On NissanZClub, one owner whose car settled about an inch lower could only get rear camber to about 1.7 degrees on factory arms, and is adding camber arms. Another, with a 1.75 inch drop and spacers, had front tires touching the liner over dips until he trimmed it. Spacers and wide wheels add risk.
Before you install: Set a moderate height first, check tire to liner clearance at full lock and over bumps, and get camber readings before buying arms.
Like the 350Z and 370Z, the Z mounts the rear spring on the lower arm, apart from the shock. NissanZClub owners note a divorced rear needs a much stiffer spring than a true coilover rear, and lowering it changes camber and toe. The layout changes rear spring rate, arm options and how toe is adjusted.
Before you install: Decide on a divorced or true coilover rear before ordering, and plan rear toe and camber adjustment to match that layout at the alignment.
Why the new Z has no number

Which BC kit, and what "True Rear" means

What does "True Rear Coilovers" mean?
It is part of BC's name for the 2023 to 2025 kit. Ask us how it differs before you order.
Which BC series can I choose for the Z?
You can pick BR, DS, ER or ZX on both kits.
Are there other brands for the new Z?
Not yet. The only other product we carry for it is a Swift spring set for the RZ34.
Do the 350Z and 370Z kits fit the new Z?
Not by name. Those kits are made for the 350Z and 370Z, and the kits on this page are made for the new Z. Call us before trying an older Z kit.
Is there a BC warranty?
BC Racing North America currently lists a two-year limited warranty on full kit orders, subject to its warranty terms. Swift has its own warranty.
