New to the G scene! Glad to be apart of it!

So today was a really good day when i decided to buy my 6MT 06' Premium Sport coupe. i bought it with 23k miles which is fairly new considering the age of the car. Let me know what you guys think.... I have a lot of plans for this one. (lambo doors, flames, and an air horn!!) lol j.k j.k. But on a serious note im starting off by buying coilovers in a week or so. Let me know what you guys think! thanks again!

You already got a good head start with getting an 06-07 body style, since you already have the projectors and the tails.

You also have OEM Rays so you're off to a great start already. What coils are you planning on getting?

im thinking about getting K-sports. I wonder if anyone has them on here that could inform me on any issues or recommend me another brand. and yea tints is a must since i live in FL! too damn hot!! ill prolly end up doing 5% in the rear and legal in the front w.e that is. and a small system in the back. but my priority is being slammed haha oh and i forgot to mention spacers!

If you are going to go lower and get some good rollers, I will point out the fact that you will need to roll your rear fenders if you get a good set of wheels with offsets that will make you flush.

There are tons of choices for coils, just depends on your budget as to what you get. A lot of people rock the BC racing or Function & Form, both decent choices under $1000. Another good choice would be the Tanabe Pro S-OC for under $900 but they don't offer any dampening adjustments.

Next step up would be something like the Tanabe Pro 5 which can be had for under $1200. If you want to be a balla, then look at the HKS Hipermax or the Bilstein. As you can see the choices are endless. It really depends on what you want out of them. I did a lot of research on a system that had dampening adjustability, a good amount of available drop, and something the had a fairly comfortable ride since my car will very rarely see a track. I settled on the Tanabe Pro 5 and will get them on this week sometime. They got excellent reviews on many other car forums but not a lot of G owners roll on them.


GL w/your search. Final thought, get a plenum spacer from Motordyne and some sway bars. 2 of the best bang for the buck mods you will find.

I thought the spacer wont do squat unless he gets the mrev2 to go along with it?

True, just the spacer alone wont do nothing.
