OZ Racing Coilovers - Are they any good?

authentic · Post by **authentic** » Mon Jun 18, 2012 5:54 pm

I was looking on trade me for a set of HSD coilovers, and asked on user 'tsoob's' auction if they were available for a NA6CE. He said they were 3 months away but offered a set of OZ Racing Coilovers for $1299.

Being fairly cheap, are they any good? Does anyone have them installed?

I couldn't find anything on them on miata.net or clubroadster.net. I'm thinking they might be called something different over there.

PM user 'chris' as I believe he was in the same situation and went with OZ Racing.

a mate has OZ Racing in his 180SX. think it's just rebranded BC's.

I brought from Dodsons expecting HSD's but basically they listed having HSD's for the MX5 when they didn't Grrrr.

He sussed me out with a set of Oz Racing coilovers, and they go low (just because I got bored one night) They have 32 way adjustable dampening (From memory). I have mine set pretty hard, but it's not to bad! Definitely driveable!

Just remember that the number of adjustment isn't the be-all, end-all measurement of a coilover's performance. You may find that you don't notice the difference between one click and the next

Regardless, I'm sure they'll be more than suitable, as would HSD or BC or any other comparably-priced and comparatively reputable brand of coilover

Both the people selling HSDs on Trade Me have offered me OZ Racing coilovers instead, so I might take them up on the offer.

If they have adjustable height bottom mounts then I'm happy, so I don't have to change the spring preload and that.

I certainly wouldn't be willing to go with adjustable suspension without adjustable bottom mounts. I had to wait for my HSD but it was certainly worthwhile. Couldn't compare them to OZ/BC/etc. though as they're the first coilovers I've had.

As Mr Shine said, these are also my first coilovers.. Although I have found the dampening extremely reliable

Well these will be my first coilovers too! If they're just different coloured BC Golds, then they must be sweet.

The have black top hats, look extremely subtle!

I'm really pleased with my HSD's and am thining about a second set for our other car.

It seems pretty poor form (if not against the rules) to advertise something you haven't got on trademe though.......

Does anyone know if Oz/BC golds considered as good or better than HSD's???

From what ive seen the HSD's look better

I have heard that the HSD is a rebranded stance coilover which is alot better than BCs for those who want to go Low
I have read alot of builds on CR that have swapped from BCs to Stance with Swift springs and they say they love them

I may be parting with my brand new 3 week old BC golds to pay for a root canal. PM me if you're interested.

Kieran · Post by **Kieran** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 3:02 pm

ouch root canal I would hate to have to sell a set of coilovers for something like that

the top hats on the hsd are wayyy better than what you get with bc and stance uses the same hats now with a different colour anodizing
i only brought my bc because they were under a grand otherwise i would have gone hsd

sprsta · Post by **sprsta** » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:41 pm
