@apintojr - yeah the backs are kind of annoying because for me I want max comfort but I can't tell if I have too much shock and too lil spring etc...always easy to adjust height because its mainly on the spring I believe... but yeah on the preload on the fronts...you're running 10mm? how's that going? can you describe to me if it made it more floaty or more stock?

@flyinglumpia - how much preload did you set your fronts? i beleive factory was 5mm, i have mine at 10mm.
Omg, I could not tell you. I have adjusted my suspension so many times I. LOL

If you guys can picture what I am talking about. I will try to take pics tomorrow. I was thinking about getting some with a bolt on the end and drill a small hole in the arms but I think that will be alittle to risky.
hey u think anything on this site will help with the noise. going to try that out. http://www.vibrationmounts.com/Products6.htm

i was adjusting the height yesturday, and i didnt have the ***** yet to cut anything like ur video but i did take my friends air hammer and i banged up the spots a little to see if that helped. i didnt go crazy with it though.

i really dont hit that much unless it a nice dip. looking more to just absorb the hitting more then cutting for now.

Well there a couple, but it would require drilling a hole in the camber arm. I think as long as you make it tight enough, it should not weaken the arm because the bolt will fill up the hole.

Hrmm. Dont really want to drill into my spc arms. I wonder if epoxying the rubber onto the arms would work, or to the chassis itself?

Think im gonna try the epoxy first.

You'll have to mess with toe/camber (get an alignment) after any drop, regardless of the type of wheels or springs. H Techs will throw you out less than S Techs though. The decision on whether or not to get an aftermarket toe/camber kit depends on what your final specs end up being and your tolerance to tire wear.

I would say you will definitely need a kit with S Techs, but may be able to get away without one on H Techs. It's up to you though.

Sounds like I should go with some H & R if I will not need to buy a camber kit. That is too much clicks and whistles for a novice like myself. I know zero about suspension. So this is going to be a big decision.


& I'm also not very rich. So I need what will be cheapest months down the road.

I'm sure it's been asked before, but how much of a drop do H&R springs give an X?

me & my buddy are in the process of installing the front springs right now. back ones were a breeze. but we are stuck once we got the a-arm off on if we should be taking out the entire bracket connected to the coil/strut/shock or there is another bolt there which seems we could be taking off just the shock itself

I'm a G35X rolling on H&R springs...they ride nice (a little harder on bumps..twss). It dropped my rear to only .5" gap and front with 1" gap. I also have custom Koni adjustable shocks with hotchkis swaybar in the rear to keep the car stiff. Hugs turns with minimum body roll.
