You can try importimageracing.com, paid 1150 including a gt-spec bar. This included shipping.

Finally got my coils installed yesterday, gotta say I love the ride. Feels like a different car, a bit stiffer but handles like a dream & looks freaking sexy as hell. My installer put the settings at 16 clicks all around towards soft. Might do further adjustments to make it a bit softer, I can fit about two fingers in the front, maybe a bit less.... & about 1 1/2 in the rear. Might raise the rears maybe a 25 inch or less after it settles.
Highly recommend these for those that are thinking about purchasing them, def worth the money.

just a question about spring rate.
How would I know what the spring rate is by looking at the coilovers?
Does it say on the spring?

The lower the spring rate the softer the ride, i believe there are two other spring rates, which are higher that you can get besides 10/8, this is the one i went with and it s supposedly the softest spring rate. Someone else here can further explain this more accurately i'm sure.

How much is everyone paying to get the coilovers installed? I know prices differ from place to place, but ballpark?

If anyone from chicago knows even better.
Just trying to see how much these will really set me back

I paid $220, i'm located in NYC. I think I got a good price, i'm sure other shops charge more. Installer took his time, did a good job.

BC Coilovers

Just picked up my 2006 G35X today. Ordering the BC Coilovers tomorrow. I am ordering direct from bcracing-na.com. $1099 shipped is what they are asking. I was going to order from importimageracing but they only ship to bill to addresses. I need these shipped to my work for convenience. Anyway ordering them tomorrow. I was a little disappointed by the lack of options in regards to suspension for the AWD cars. There can not be that much difference between the RWD and the AWD. At least we have one option. Does BC stand for Buddy Club?

only diffrence is our AWD cars have a horseshoe like adapter that the front shocks attach too. and that is the reason we dont have front supsension for our cars.
