BC coilover and Stock Ride Height for Winter
I have a 06 G35 Coupe RWD. When I got this car it was lowered with tein s techs with OEM shocks and Iv noticed the shocks are leaking now and also last winter I got stuck a few times because my clearance wasn't high enough.
So I have been looking at Coilovers and settled for BC BR Racing coilover because of
A - Function - I live in a city (Winnipeg, Canada) where the roads deal with -30 to +30C (-22°F - 86°F) so everywhere the roads are are shitty as they get... so I wanted to lower for the summer and raise it for the winter but still be able to keep the ride as comfy as possible and i go on track days like 2 times a year lol so on those days I can just stiffen the suspension.
B - Price - with these harsh weather conditions if the shocks fail i heard its only 100 bucks a piece to replace
C - Not looking for a massive drop ( right now front is about 1.5" dropped and 0.6" at the back)
So I have been doing alot of reading on the forum and this is what I have understood so far The BC if i get the rear with the 230/255? mm spring (and/or spacer) I can come close to stock ride height at the back.
I cant find any INFO on the MAX ride height for the Front Coilovers and if they will come close to Factory Ride Height and also for winter once i increase the front height to the max i dont really want the back to sag either so it will be very helpful if anyone has any advice or any comments for me
So What I want is for summer about 1.5" at the front and about 1" drop at the back and in the winter as close to stock ride height as possible. I also want the suspension to be somewhat more on the soft side then the stiff but not too soft that it will feel like im driving a boat.
Thanks
Here is just a picture of the current ride height lowered with Tein S techs with stock struts not the best but all iv got
And this is me getting stuck BTW i have the Blizzak LM-50 winter tires on the 19s haha not exactly a smart choice and with 50 lbs weight at the trunk
