My ride is already super stiff anyways with my Tanabe DF210's. I can't imagine that these would be any worse. I can't wait til tomorrow!!

In terms of ride quality or in terms of roll? I have Tein twin tubes, and I've put a few thousand miles on an identical car with a monotube setup and similar spring rates (500/700), and I can tell you this: for street driving the difference in ride quality is marginal, my car actually rolls less. And both ride vastly better than stock, firmer, less bouncy, etc. I wouldn't think there's such a great difference between monotube and twin tube ride quality on the street.. but then again I can't speak about G35's.

As far as top adjustables go, it means just that, you adjust the damping/compression at the top of the shocks. No EDFC, no crawling under the car, no taking apart anything. I would imagine most coilovers for the G would be T/A? Guess not really.

ride quality. mono's are more responsive. having something more responsive is already dopers.

i too have messed with LOTS of coilovers. i've rode in Aragosta's, Zeal, HKS, Tein twin/mono, Silk Road, in japan, and Kei Office's here in the u.s. the mono's are what makes the car perform it's best.

Finiti is a girl brudah. And a super hot one at that. So it makes it even sexier that she knows so much about cars.
