coilovers are fine for dd.. i have a sedan on coils.. i have rear camber arms but waiting to get the front arms to put everything in. i would honestly save for everything that you want and not get stuck with something that you are going to second guess later. i'm glad i went with coilovers!!

 

+1, that's what I did.

SPC > Ichiba

I didn't get the front kit, just the rear camber arms and toe bolts.

 

Did u get an alignment yet? Could they get the fronts back into spec?

 

also, noone has commented. Nothing too bad about cutting the fenders rather than rolling them? I figured i would be safer cutting since rolling has a tendency to crack paint if not dont correctly

 

if you do it right it won't crack

 

cut.....roll....whatever. 6 in one and half dozen in the other if done right.

 

you dont need front arms, people just like to make you think you need front arms.
i had some on my car and took them off after while and now they are sitting in the garage.

so if anyone wants some kinetix front camber arms, let me know

 

if you want an SPC and want to save some money... order an Eibach one (made by SPC-i bought an Eibach rear camber/toe kit and was stamped with SPC)

Dont forget shocks!! tokico hp blues aren't too pricey and should be ok. I would look at 350z shocks/struts since you'll be lower then OEM G height


Im on tanabe DF210 and tokico d specs(these have dampning adjustment)- I would possibly go with Swift If i did it again since it has the same drop as my DF210s but are a bit stiffer.

 

Would my stock sport shocks blow? If so, after how long? I wasn't plnning on doing shocks also...

 

I have seen people go 10's of thousands of miles with stock shocks. I dont know anyone that has blown theirs but I have heard stories.

 

sounds like a plan to me. coils CAN be daily driven, i do it myself. Rear camber kits are normally what everyone does, but fronts i dont bother. I have had no issues so far, but it is pretty cambered.

I think the guy told me as long as both sides are cambered evenly it will be okay. Watch out for toe in/out, thats what eats tires up.

 

I found my spec sheet from when i had the car aligned LAST december.... after i got these new wheels and tires put on.

Note- my tires have worn evenly for the past 13K miles or so...




Front Left-
-.8 camber
8 caster
.02 toe

Front Right- -1.5 camber
8.1 caster
.06 toe

Rear Left
-1.7 camber
.09 toe

Rear Right
-1.5 camber
.10 toe


Now, you guys tell me whats wrong with the alignment...

 

Eventually they will. It really depends on the drop that you have. If you are running something like Tanabe DF210 (this is what Eldgebroni has on his car) or Eibach Sportline (Hydroeric had this on his car), you will eventually blow out the the shocks quicker than with Stechs due the more aggressive drop.
