so im new to the whole lowering the car and everything so I was wondering for when you get a coilover kit what all else would you need to have it lowered and keep in in Stock specs?

 

Front/rear camber kits, alignment.

 

dont some coilovers have a way of adjusting the camber?

 

Yeah, some coilovers do have that feature. But I don't recall any coilovers for the G35 having that. Maybe someone else can chime in on that.

 

i read in the market place for the megan coilovers which seem to be pretty well made by the looks have a way of adjusting the camber but im not sure how? as they look the same as all the other coilovers

 

You can either add positive camber to your wheels (extend tire life) or add negative camber (increase handling). As for how.....not sure.

 

My bad, apparently the greddy type-s coilovers for our cars do have the front camber adjustment. The megans don't look like they have that.

If you're interested in buying the Megan's, PM mrwong@statik. He's a forum sponsor, is great to deal with, and always has excellent prices.

 

Most, if not all coilovers for the G do not have camber adjustment in the upper mounting plates. If you want to go low and be in spec you will need to go with the proper coilovers, rear camber kit with extended toe bolts (SPC kit - best bang for the $). You will also need a front camber kit that utilizes adjustable A-arms. For the front kit I would suggest SPL or 350evo for any drop of 2" or more. If you're going less than 2" you will get away with SPC adjustable a-arms. If you're a gambling man and dropping your car 2"+ you can try SPC and use the shims for the extra adjustment and hope for the best, but many experience knocking as well as a clusterfvuk of dash lights when messing with the shims.

Hope this helps.

interesting how this thread has gone. ive been wondering about the STANCEs.

Adjustable Camber Uppermount

is this adjustment enough not to need front camber kit?

Cut and paste from one of my paste post's re: megan coilovers.

Do NOT buy Megan coilovers for this G or Z. As mentioned I had them on my car, I sold them because I could not stand them. Wasn't a performance issue so much as it was a issue with ride and drive quality related to poor valving. Problem I had was I could not sell something I disliked that much. I had softer springs I was able to test in the front, much better behavior so I bought another set of softer springs so I could resell the setup and still sleep at night. BcRacing makes them as you know, however they are not the same specs as the coilovers they make for themselves (larger piston diameter). Given that the BcRacing coilover exists, it makes ZERO sense to buy the Megan product since you can buy that setup for only maybe $50 to $100 more. Even then, IMO I don't let Bc totally off the hook with the excuse that "the Megan product is the way it is because we simply are building it to Megan specs", no excuse to deliver that kind of a product out your door, makes we wonder about their own product.

If your in the market for coilover's, please review the specs of the product your considering in the thread below. Some system's use entirely too much spring stiffness, I do not reommend anything that has more then 560/500 rates and yes I have tested a ton of rate combo's, right up to 672/500.
