New fluid is better than old fluid.

Circuit Werks

just found these coilovers on craigslist (Circuit Werks High Performance Coilover Damper kit) im not trying to cut corners at all and i would be willing to spend more money if these are trash but heres my thought process; this company might be new to the coilover scene and they have great products but they are charging lower so they can get their name out there or something like that.

im not going to be slamming my g or going like crazy negative camber or anything, im really just going for the better handling and maybe like an inch to an inch and a half drop on stock 19s.

does anyone have any experience with these?

They're on the same level as godspeed. If you like to get down and dirty during daily driving on less than perfect streets, I wouldn't do it. if you car was strictly a track car or drift rocket, then maybe.

hey guys I have a quick question,

Is a camber kit absolutely necessary when installing coilovers? or does it only depend on how much you lower the car? I'm looking at a 1.5"-2" drop. Would I need to install any other parts other than coilovers if I'm dropping it 1"-2" Thanks in advance.

The answer to this question is always yes. Unless money is no object and you don't mind replacing tires every year.

Thanks guys, any idea what a decent coilover set + camber kit would cost? any particular brand you guys would reccomend for 1"-2" drop? would prefer to have a set that includes adjustable dampening. Thanks in advance.

Haha no, just trying to get an idea what coilovers you guys feel are the best bang for your buck. Seeing that there are lots of experienced G35 owners on this thread who have lowered there cars on many different types of coilovers, figured this would be the best place to ask, but hey, maybe the search bar will serve me better? we'll see.

I would most certainly expect to see a few different answers, but usually there tend to be one or two brands that are more commonly used than others. more popular brands. Like anything else. I would typically lean towards those brands and THEN do a general search of how reliable those particular brands are. But hey, maybe ever person on the forum is running a different brand coilover? Never know until you ask right?

I think when it comes to camber correction most people will tell you to go with STP, don't go with cheap ones. There are pictures and threads on cheap camber kits breaking and cars being totaled.
