1. They are going to be alittle bouncy if you use stock struts, but if you got a pretty meaty tire that will help. Also if you get some aftermarket struts like koni that will help the rear.

2. 18 or 19 will not really effect your camber, when you lower it will effect it some depending how low you will go.

3. As for offset, I got 20X8.5 with a 40 and they dont rub. I think I could push it out 5mm more since I got a pretty good camber going on.

4. I know you didnt answer this but if you want a coilover system for your car copy and paste your name with the others. We are getting close enough for the right amount of people interested for them to start R&D. LOL What a great plug for them.

But I will email this thread link and maybe he can answer some question. So let get this list going.

Your going to go with a product whose genes you know nothing about, that have very little chance of offering better valving vs the Koni conversion you were set on getting. Question has to be asked, what do you hope to gain that can't be had with the Koni conversion?

I understand that G35 owner's prefer a one box solution, but when the content's of the box don't measure up how is that solution worthy of the car the parts being installed on?

I realize that doing the Koni conversion is a pain. I realize that if you wanted to do the coilover conversion that I have done it is a pain. But, it's a little hard to believe that product wise those coilovers would give you a better product in the end.

Just posting because I don't think the issue of quality is in the thought process

Thanks for you thoughts, I am trying to get this company on this forum to answer any question we have. I am just trying to help out the X community. If I dont have enough intrest soon, I will just step out and just go with the koni conversion.

Eibach Sportlines on the X

Does anyone run Eibach Sportline springs on their G35X?

Similarly, is anyone running DSpecs on their X?

I think there was one guy that ran sportline on his X, but not sure if he still is. As for Dspecs you can only run the rear since the fronts wont fit.

thanks for the reply... yeah, I found out the hard way DSpecs don't fit the front. Any recommendations on what to stick on the front of my X with sportlines?

Well you can get Koni rear and then send your fronts or get some fronts and send it to koni to have them revalve them.

I had sportlines nice drop but the front was a bit higher , I also had tokico dpecs on the rear and it felt good but the front shocks were useless since they dont fit so i had to try something different

3- The ride quality is a little bit stiffer than stock. still nice.
4- No Probs so far
5- The spings had 4k when i bought them and ive only done 500 so far.
6- So far the shocks/struts are holding up just fine.
7- 18x8 225/45 all around. 38 offset(i think)

also as far as my camber is concerned it doesnt look like it threw it out that bad. i still need to go for an alignment. then well see whats up.

heres some pics from right before and right after. the springs have settled a little bit more also. i need to take some more pics!

Before:








After:








About a week later:











Dont get Hurt but your car is Butt Ugly what are u thinking please try again just dont try so hard !
