And i cant decide. Should i get springs + complete camber kit + lifetime alignment + pay to have the work done? (besides the spring install, sen and i will do that lol)

OR!

Get drilled and slotted rotors from irotors for about $320. That will complete the look behind my wheels.... (while i do that, i will also paint my calipers silver)


Coilovers



As for brakes save up for G37 brakes

I cant justify spending a grand on coilovers....

Im thinking... 350z S-techs and then a complete camber kit. Will run me about $500. and the lifetime alignment, plus the rolling of my rear fenders... plus getting the camber kit installed...will bring it to a grand total of $800

what he said.

IMO, I'm not going to spend that kind of money on coilovers when I can get the same look with springs.

Says the guy with springs. Coils are best because you can adjust the ride and height exactly where you want it and dont have to worry about blowing your shocks.

ill lmao if we all get springs, then our stock shocks and struts go out and we wind up spending an assload of money...... more than a coilover kit :-P


I was reading that its a PITA to adjust coilovers because you need to adjust the weight resting on each tire.... and when you adjust one, it changes the other...

Exactly it makes no sense to get springs and then realize you don't like the drop it gave you, then you have to buy different springs.

Truth.


But, in my case, beggers can't be choosers .
