For those of you who have installed this...how's the ride quality differ...? What are your thoughts and/or pros & cons of the springs vs. stock suspension (6MT)...? And any other comments.

Looking into getting the kit, but want to make sure I'm not going to be giving up too much ride quality...

Oh...and how much did you pay...?

Actually the difference is pretty small. You have to really put your head to the dash to feel the difference in the ride.

I got mine from DJ for $125 for the set (used for about 50mi)

That's the 1.1" front and 1.0" rear drop...right...?

Does anyone have any pics...?

Do you think it's worth it...?

I think it worth it once you have larger than Stock rims. I have had mine one for about 3 weeks and they pretty much settled. Here is a pic of the 3/4 angle pics of my car from the rear.

RaySure, was there enough travel in the suspension to align your wheels after the lowering?

2003.5 - G35 6spd - Diamond Graphite/Graphite leather, prem, aero package/kit

 

I had them aligned after 2 weeks of settling and there was room for the camber stated by the alignment center. Now if you go over, let's say 1.75", then I think there will some trouble there.

Once I get my rims, then I will do another alignment just to make sure everything is fine. I'm going 19x8.5(245/35/19) Front and 19x10(285/30/19) rear. Hopefully everything should be fine with the camber on that setup.

About the same. A smigget stiffer.. Hardly noticable.

Ride looks better than stock with my rims. The front is a little aggressive for me. Wish it was a bit higher when I can at least but 1/2 finger in there.

Simple if you get rims you need to lower it. If you have money get the Teins basic damper kits so you can adjust the height yourself. If was need to save money or don't have any go with the Eibach.

$247 at Stillen for the Eibach's. The Teins will probably cost you anywhere from $799-$1100, just a guess.

Ray - what kind of rims are you going to be rockin' on your coupe? And also, exactly what color is your coupe? (can't tell from the pic)

Thanks - BZ

 

Ray...got any more pics of your ride...? Maybe one from the side, or front 3/4...?

Here is some more pics of the car. Not the best example to see huge differences in wheel gap, but it pics to tell how they look.

enjoy!

Also here is a pic of the Rims I'm waiting for. It's been like 5 months since I ordered them! They told me that they had to build it first since they are a new model. VOLK G-Games.
