There are 3 other coilovers out there; Megan Racing, Attack and D2 RS. Do you have any info or experience beyond the marketing material on the web?
2nd, if the car (Coupe 6MT) comes with a higher spring rate (roll stiffness?) in the rear, why do so many coilover set ups increase the roll stiffness in the front and what is the advantage?
BTW, I use the car as a daily driver and for about 20-30 track/HPDE days a year. I have the Tein Basics on now, but I think the shocks aren't up to the track use. Spring rate aren't bad, perhaps shock valving is the area to focus on, but a another 50 - 100 lbs of spring might be better for road course use.
Your opinions would be greatly appreciated.
just started a thread in the Premium Member Feedback forum. https://g35driver.com/forums/discussion-feedback-announcements/153157-evil-bs-smilies.html
I have a 2005 G35 6mt Sedan, and a set of Axis Hiro 19" on it..
Front is 19x8.5 ET45
Rear is 19x9.5 ET55
245/35 Toyo TIR's front
285/30 Toyo TIR's rear
Now my question is, can I install a set of Tein S-tech springs and get away without rubbing?

Do full coils for the Z and G coupe work for the Sedan as well? I kinda need a definitive answer to put my mind at ease...
I see that the springs work, but I'm worried about how the struts mount...
BTW, it's the spring not the strut that determines how stiff the suspension feels overall. If you can wait, there is a street version of the Seven coming out with a helper spring underneath the main spring for a better ride, labeled "Sustec Pro Five". Only I don't know what applications they will be available for.
I just ordered a set of these... now you got me worried if it will work with my sedan or not.

Only been hearing good things about them. Although a little bit more pricey than the HKS RS, I think this setup will be perfect for me. I hear this set will be nicer than the RS at tracks hands down. I'm just wondering how soft (or stiff) these are at softest setting, and compared to medium stiffness set RS.
Car will be mostly street driven, but my neighborhood doesn't have bumpy roads so I'm thinking I can live with stiffer ride.

wow. this thread is the most comprehensive info i've ever seen.
so what suspension set-up and chassis reinforcement is recommended for the G35x sedan?
say on 19" OEM coupe rims, more for daily driving and once in a while spirited driving on the twisties.
