326 power coilover

I was wondering if anyone has any reviews for these coilovers. They are for sale in the us now and I am planning on buying some. I have searched the Internet and searched zilvia but haven't come across a solid review.

Why do I get the feeling 326 is going to become uncool real fast.

Well I've noticed their cars have been getting a lot more attention in the media lately, I feel like they're pushing themselves out there. Which would make them, in your eyes MarcD, making themselves uncool.

Although I ordered a roof spoiler off them 2 months ago... which said it had a 4 week lead time, god knows what happen to that thing.

I ment I fully expect to start seeing 326 stickers plastered all over shitty cars which to me will ruin the name.

I kinda like that 326 has its own style that they always stick to, if the products are available everywhere else then I fear it will be ruined...if that makes sense.

326 & their cars have been posted over this forum & on a couple of well known blogs (shirtstuckedin to name one) for quite some time now. Not exactly sure how their white Zenki all of a sudden gained popularity (in terms of being posted virtually on every social medium) though.

Hey guys I'm running them on 326power car posted above and absolutely love them!
The spring rates I'm running are 10/8. It's a little stiffer than I'm used to running, but I'm still getting great suspension travel even with the car being low, as they were designed to be ran like that. The car responds really well and I get a better feel of the car in comparison to what I ran before. The front camber has a huge range of adjustability since it can be adjusted on the upper camber plate as well as where it mounts to the knuckle. The lower adjustment uses a spacer with an offset hole allowing for 4 different positions.
Another great thing is the rear shock utilizes an upper pillow ball.
There's a lot to say about them so just let me know if you guys have questions about anything.


There is a tow hook on my car because it is required in Formula Drift.

326Power is and always will be dope. Regardless of scene kids slapping stickers on their shit and not having a single part is unavoidable. Everyone does it. You'll have to take it with a grain of salt. When the company and put out and produce dope cars and product, you have to respect them. You know how many PBM stickers I've seen on cars that are bone stock or all ISIS'd out? Too many to count. Is PBM not cool anymore? Fuck no. They're dope as hell. As of right now, PBM and SPL are the only arms I'll run until I find something better which seems like it'll be a while.

Long story short, 326Power will always be one of those companies that are dubbed 'dope.'

That's an older picture and the car looks a little more complete now. And it's a sponsored by 326power car. It's not a 326 car. Besides its a competition car. Not a show car.

It wasn't ment as a dig to you, so don't take it personally.

Maybe it's just me but I think 326 power should only be associated with cars that carry their kind of styling. I guess I see 326 as more of a trend/style than just a brand.

Ya I am looking at these coils because I want to be different in my area and runn aggressive and a lot of camber. I read That these can go to around -6 degrees of camber which is a plus. Regardless of these being cool or not, itd be sweet to be the only one with these around

Fixed that for you.


The 326 power sponsored car above is a perfect example of how Americans ruin cool things. The car itself is fine, it's a text book FD car, no big deal - but as far as 326 power goes it's completely wrong.

The question is why? They're plenty of coilover companys here already that are amazing. No reason just to get something because its 326.

see? there's a huge difference. he's not "ruining" anything. he was offered a sponsorship and took it. if he was actually "ruining" 326power's image, why would 326power sponsor him in the first place?

you guys need to calm down with the nut swinging. take a step back, look around, and realize that there are a lot of different styles and opinions out there.

if everyone on Zilvia had a 326power-esque car, you'd just as quickly hate them all for joining a bandwagon.

To add onto that, I was looking at 326 coilovers when I was buying a set, but decided againt it because of the US based companies like PBM and Fortune Auto.

It is a whole lot easier to get a shock rebuild or replacement parts from Fortune Auto, PBM, Feal, Etc. then it would be from 326.
