You can't have "similar to stock" ride quality when spring stifness more then twice as stiff as oem. The stance truecoilover setup has the same rear spring stiffness as the oem type when you math things out, either way you've got 672/616 spring rates. True like stock ride quality can only come by not increasing spring rates very much over oem. Which is why better ride quality system's also aren't alway's the best choices for those might autocross or venture out on a roadcourse, your talking about 370lbs to 448lbs max.

The AWD "X" has a unique front suspension. You cannot use any front shock or coilover system on the market other then the Bc Racing coilover that is specific to the G35X.

You can do a wet kit conversion to Koni Yellow shocks and make them work in the front, cost is too high in the end.

Since I'm positive that a bag system exist's for the AWD FX, you should be able to find such a system.

Yea Ksport makes it for the X, but the problem would be shelling out 3.5k when I could just get coilovers and rims for that money.

Ok, im no suspension expert nor am i a tech in any sort but from a g35 newb standpoint, it feels just as stiff as my sport suspension from my stock setup.

I must say the quality of these coilovers at first sight is great, once they are on its even better.




The car can drop litterally to the point where you wouldnt be able to drive.


I ended up raising the car to this hieght and this is where i daily drive it. My girl and i cant even tell the difference from the stock suspension and these coils comfort wise... Well until you step out the car and notice the car is a couple inches off the ground. Clearance is my only issue... speedbumps and driveways.



and a pic of my dub prior just to show ya

On the G, Stance oem or true?
