I have a 05 G coupe with 255/35/ 20 front and 285/35/20 rear and i am looking for the best drop either springs or coilovers that keep or stay real close to the OEM suspension ride, i dont know the OEM spring rate so I dont know what to look for but i am looking for something similar also I need to know if i will need a camber kit both either front and rear, or just one. and toe bolts? i want it to look more aggressive and i need suggestions . thank you

thank you!

 

here's a summary I wrote in another thread.. Hope this helps.. Also check my progression thread to see the results of me using the Tenabe NF210 springs.. VERY close to stock ride.. only +5% spring weight.. and a nice drop as you can see by the pics.

great suggestion so far i like them this is what my car looks like very bad pic btw





and i want it to look like

 

with the closest ride to stock the only thing im worried about is when i have people in the car i dont want it to rub, i have my fenders rolled but i dont know if that will be an issue with a drop that i want
but the tenabe springs seem good do you have any more pics with them on ?

 

IMO, that's the thing about some lowering springs that are soft or close to oem springs rates, they account for lower ride height and comfort but yet, it doesn't account for reduced suspension travel which results in your shocks bottoming out, your tires hitting the wheelwell, entire car scraping on dips on the road, etc. Don't know if that makes sense or not.

Ride comfort It's just something you have to make a sacrifice on if you want to lower it. Stiffer springs will prevent bottoming out. To make it more comfortable, a good set of aftermarket shocks can dampened some of the roughness. Again..this is just my opinion and my best guess since I have no experience in lowering springs on my G yet but plenty of lowered cars in the past.

 

I respectfully disagree.. That's specifically what the NF210 line by tenabe was designed for (NF210s).. To give you the stock feel, and ride, w/out being too stiff or too soft, and a lowered appearance.. This way, you DON'T have to sacrifice ride comfort.. (I don't know if other suspension parts are needed yet because I haven't gotten my alignment yet)

With any lowered ride, you're going to need to be conscious of what you're driving over. So slowing down in some places is a must.. You don't wanna hit a speed bump going 30 in a lowered or factory height car.. That's not "comfortable" regardless of what springs you're rockin..

 

Did you ever decide what springs or coils to get to get your drop? If so pics please.. I just took a few pics recently since my springs settled..
