326 power coilovers

Looking to slam my car and ran across 326 power. They look super good and have a lot of good reviews from 240sx owners and such, but was windering if anyone has them on their brz that can offer a review? Thanks!

What kind of review are you expecting? If you're looking to slam the car it's going to ride like garbage and not handle well at all, so really it's just a question of how long do they last?

What about them looks "super good?"

It's the same trash as any other cheap coilover with different colors and stickers. Plus their spring rate options are all completely wrong and bad.

So, I have never heard of 326 Power. But after a quick search...


My Opinion: For the same amount of Cash, you could buy coilovers that others here have given favorable reviews for your intended use.

People on this forum probably aren't very in tune with 326 as a brand.

As far as 326 goes, the owner (Mitsuru Haruguchi) has been doing suspension for quite some time. It's important to know what they're built for though. He largely caters to the super low, VIP crowd when it comes to his products.

Haruguchi's style is just being wild and over the top. There may be a compromise in terms of performance, but to him, style (subjective of course) is king. So that's what he focuses on with his products.

I know plenty of people who have ran the products and been happy with them/haven't had any issues. That being said, if your primary/only real objective is just to be extremely low with a product that offers a lot of customization, then 326 is a good choice. If you're looking for something that lowers the car a bit and retains good ride quality/high handling characteristics, I'd look elsewhere.

I said they were “super good” for if youre looking to slam your car. Obviously kw v3’s would be better for tracking and performance but thats not what im lookign for. They’re made for stance and drifting, and have options for crazy high spring rates for the people who slam there cars to where the lip of their rim is a few mm from the fender.

Some do. Some don't.

I personally don't... at least not this new wave of "slammed" where people are 5mm off the ground and think that you need -10 camber to be considered "flush".

But it's not my car, so whatever. All I can do is give advice and opinion when it's asked for.

A lot of people bought this car because it handles well, so doing these modifications are counter to their goals. Function > form imo, good luck.
