Teflon, what is so bad about the ride quality on the prokit. Alot of people have sworn that they are great springs for a modest drop.

I think they will but I can't say for sure. The 2007x looks like it has the same suspension setup as the 05x. Try emailing BC Racing. They will answer although sometimes not the question you asked . . .

Bouncy... most likely b/c these prokits were designed for a normal G. I have an 05X. I even replaced the rear shocks when I had them installed.

I have an 04 g35x running 18x8.5+35, 245/40/18 all around, lowered on bc coils. My wheels poked out about 5-7mm before i put my bc coils on. After i lowered it (not sure how much bc i left the spring rate and ride height the same fresh out of the box) the wheels sat nearly flush. i have the Eibach Pro SPC rear camber kit with toe bolt adjustment. Adjusted rides height and spring rates after the coils settle.... Damper setting is at 8 clicks away from hard in the rear and 4 clicks away from hard in the front. A year later i Finally found a front camber kit made for the AWD manufactured by SPC model number 72125. Just put them on and set them at -1.2 camber in the front and the rear is set at -2.0 maxed out. before the Front Camber Kit my camber was -2.2 on the left and -2.9 on the right!... The front camber kit made a day and night difference!!! Im very pleased with my set up and stance... I will be going with a more aggressive set up soon but i use my car daily to and from work and every where else, so i kept it pretty safe...... heres before and after my front camber kit..... I HIGHLY RECOMEND GETTING both front and rear camber kit.

Looks really good, you beat me to my idea. I was thinking that would be the perfect way to even the fender gaps by just dropping the front. Now I have to find myself a set of coupe fronts! How many miles do you have on your OEM struts?
