help! my car drives like a boat? I have a 2004 G35 6MT.

This started happening after I installed my BC Racing coilovers. I feel like im driving a boat on the water. Which means when I drive straight and turn my steering wheel about 5 degrees left and right, my car barely moves. When I hit a bump, my car rocks left and right.

Beshoff Infiniti says it could be due to not having a camber kit... any ideas?? I hate this driving...

 

did you put the coils on stiffer settings?

 

Mine don't do that. Who installed them, you or a professional? Did you get your car aligned after install? Might want to get under the car and make sure everything it bolted down properly.

 

My brother set it at 80% stiffness i believe...ill have to double check.

my brother and I installed them, then I took it to Infiniti for the alignment. he's installed them before on other cars. Infiniti said i had a 1.4 degree camber in the front and a 1.8 degree in the rear... and due to that my car drives like a boat.

 

It is not the camber. Are your the bolts on your sway bars and endlinks tight?

 

Make sure your preload is adjusted correctly. The "JDM" Style coilovers with dual adjustability needs a small amount of preloads to keep the car firmly supported. The reason is that the springs on these coilovers are so short that even the slightest droop would unseat the springs.

The bounciness may be caused by the stiffness.

 

with all the tightening, adjusting, and advice...the problem is fixed. thanks for all the help!

 

Good to hear. Where do you think the problem was?
