as for now, i know they will not be mass producing them. i asked my rep if i could give out his email for you other guys out there interested. i'm waiting on his reply as he is waiting on the answer from the shop guys. this little project was not cheap. in the end the finish product was 1,013 with shipping.

Are you able to provide us with what was done specifically with your wet kit? Any type of specification I should ask for when/if I get my car done?

im the 'not happy' one...went back to stock. But thats $1800 for just coilovers for G35x which wont fit w/o custom arms which are another $1000. i hit a pothole and bent my arms..PIA to get VRT to do anything, even send me my stock parts. Finally got car out of shop after over 2months.

fyi...the VRT pic dont look anything like mine. i might have been the guinea pig. cos my arms were alot bulkier, to the point they hit the brake calipers. My rear coilover looks completely different...not adjustable since it is set spring. then theres the issue of negative rear camber.

i honestely think that all you need for RWD coilovers to fit are those front "arms" in the picture.

am i correct?

Off topic, but that VRT pic looks like a G with the Nismo kit, but it also has a front lip on it. Anyone know what lip that is?

Fei,

The adjustments were made after your concerns. I offered to send you the updated design yet you decided to go back to stock for Insurance Reasons. Goodluck.

We offer a Money Back Guarantee on these parts if you aren't happy with them.

I thought it was $1800 for everything. $2800 is a bit high if you ask me.
