i just got tanabe coilovers with helper springs and spc rear camber and toe kit installed at StreetImage.
It's fully lowered i think recommended till they settle. haven't adjusted my cambers yet so they're butterflying like crazy and they eyed the toe. just gonna wait till they settle to adjust height, camber etc.
The ride is better than stock imo. Thot it would be stiff but not really.
I was gonna go with Tein Basics but they were on back order so i cant compare these 2 and Eric gave me a good deal
Just got 1 shot from my camera phone.

 

looks good
coilovers dont really settle so you can get your alighment done whenever

 

How many inches does it lower the car , front and rear? I am also interested in getting this coilover system and how much did u pay for them?

 

F +1/4~-1 3/4 in
R ±0~-1 1/2 in This spec is for the 350z but it's the same part # for the G35 so im guessing it drops the same amount?

Havent really had the chance to test out the handling cuz of alignment and all that.
I'll give a better review once everything is done.

 

Nice drop.

 

Not true. Not so much the shocks/springs, but you must wait at least 2 weeks/200 miles for the rubber bushings to settle.

Nice to see more and more people going with coilovers. Any specs on them, damping adjustable, spring rates, etc?

 

looks damn good

 

Looks good! Still don't know why so many sleep on Tanabe Coilovers!!

 

spring rates are 10/8. guessing thats kgf?
the shocks aren't adjustable like the tein basics. i think sustec pro-7 are adjustable tho.
just gotta wait for the SPC FRONT CAMBERS TO RELEASE! ahhh

r u regretting not getting the tien basics?????

 

i've never felt the ride with tein basics so i cant compare the 2, but i dont see any downsides to tanabe.
they're both basic coilovers and it was just timing that i went with tanabes.
at least they're rarely on a G

 

Spring rates(approx): 560/448

I heard that the height adjustment is very easy and the shock valving is impressive...what's ur feel on this?

With these high spring rates, I would expect the coilovers to be pretty stiff, but have heard otherwise due to the shock valving...how would you compare to your '04 stock suspension...and/or possibly a Z?

 

i got to drive it in the streets of LA today and i can actually feel the stiffness.
hit a hump in the road and heard a bang.
i've been driving it fully slammed for a week, and now i can feel the stiffness compared to stock.
stock is alot softer but only noticeable when i drive on rough roads.

my coils will be settled enuf by next week so im taking it back to StreetImage to adjust the front.(way too low)
i will see how easy it is to adjust.

 

these Tanabes are better than Tein Basic in my honest opinion.
