Lumpia is had the BBK painted ( color match).I wanted to powdercoated but then I would have had to take apart the entire kit and would have to replace all the seals.

Seddon, that thing's gorgeous! Do you have any camber issues? Did you get a camber kit? I'm out of the country for a while and my BC's are sittin at home on the garage floor. Can't wait. That red color and those wheels are tight!

To everyone that is worried about camber issues. YES when you lower it as low as we have done you are probably going to be running -2 to -3 camber.

I was running about -2.5 degrees of camber without the coils but now I think I might be closer to 3. I love the camber for looks and handling. What I did notice with the coils is that the inside edge of my rim was rubbing and the locks of the rear shocks and was grinding it flat. I fixed the problem with a small spacer I had maybe a 3mm. Lumpia do since we have the same wheels do you have this problem.

I know longer have the wheels, but I did not have the ten in the rear, mine was 20x8.5 all around. Sorry cant help on that one. It does make me wonder with my new set up if it will do that. But I am also 19x10 +32

Lumpia you got new wheels, got pics. A small spacer in the rear I think would solve the problem

See my updated pics here guys: https://g35driver.com/forums/media-s...coilovers.html

I currently have about a finger in front, slightly less than finger in the rear. Ideally would like to raise the rears up a bit, but im starting to get used it how it looks. Plus im not scraping.

Rasing the Rear...

Wow... This thread has changed over time... So I've had the H&R's on the X for a while now with an rear camber kit and new D-Spec shocks. I took it in to get the alignment checked and the mechanic is telling me the left rear is still off even with a camber kit (He can't pull the drivers side rear tire in far enough). He said the rear needs to come up a 1/2" to and inch. Is there anything I can do short of changing the springs (love H&Rs ride) to get another 1/2" higher? Thinking about the ENERGY SUSPENSION POLYURETHANE COIL SPRING ISOLATOR SET (9.6101G), but another G member said they are crap and will not provide any height adjustment.

Thanks for the help...
