honestly, that doesn't look that low... my car might be lower.

 

is that as low as the tein basic's can go i might be interested in these if they go lower..

 

guys, his car only has on 17s. with 19s his car will look dumped like crazy.

 

no you dont need adjustable camber arms......i mean it wouldnt hurt to get them but i dont have them yet but i want to later on

 

umm not really sure what the big difference it would be but you almost get all the same drop but the stiffness is going to be different.....also Tein does make a remote controlled damper set to adjust the damper but those are only for Tein FLEX coilovers and they cost with install about 2000$ and up

 

I'm confused. I thought that the basics were just springs? Are they coilovers? Or are they the adjustable spring that slips over the shock/strut? Sorry for the many questions but I am definately interested in some springs.

 

i was gonna ask if u needed camber arms and -arms

 

nope...basics are coilovers.......replaces the whole thing the springs and shocks

 

hows the camber?? negative and toe in a lot? and will the tires wear?

 

Tein Basics are coilovers, however, the only difference between them and standard shocks and springs on a G35 is that the rear springs come with height adjusters. The rear coil springs are still separate from the shocks using Tein Basics.

There are "true" coilovers for the G35, but they have other issues. Stance and Buddy-Club both offer true coilovers for the G35. The downside to them is that the coil spring decreases inside rear tire clearance and the putting the rear spring around the shock changes the rear suspension geometry.

Basic coilovers have a distinct advantage over ALL oem based shocks because the dampners have shorter bodies and piston rod lengths. Oem based shocks run short of bump travel and well give out ride and drive issues related to the shocks frequently contacting the bumpstops against the tops of the shocks. Though, since they do have spring rates and dampning stiffness that is a step above oem, they may not be the right choice for all. Some may want full height adjustment and adjustable dampning.

As coupe owners drop go with drop heights of .8" and greater, more and more owner's report alignment resluts that are not within oem spec. Pretty much count on 1" and greater drops needing front and rear correction parts to get within oem specs. I like negitive camber that is greater them oem specs, but not everyone wants that.

Tein's web site plainly show's the min, max and recommended drop range of their Basic coilover on the G35 coupe.

Recommended: -1.5/-0.9 (means about 1" of preload in the front)
Minimum: -0.7/+0.2 (max preload settings)
Maximum: -2.6/-1.2 (minimum preload settings)

i have no clue because i dont have any cambers on.......and for alignment i really have no alignment issues i mean if i do then i dont feel it at all

ill retake pictures tomorrow because now i put on 20" zenettis to test them out

 

lol...i think he's wondering if you have any negative or positive camber...top of the tire leaning toward the middle would be negative camber...positive camber would have the top the wheels leaning outward (not the case on lowered cars...usually on lifted cars)
