Okay...I'll play

As stated below...Tein CS coilovers are a good set. They allow you to adjust between a soft and a stiffer setup (you really don't feel much difference at the medium setup, IMO). The EFDC module (sold separately)allows you do this from inside the car, otherwise, its a manual adjustment (turn an alan screw on each shock to adjust).

You can pretty much slam the car with this kit. I don't have the full drop numbers handy but I'm lowered about 2.5 upfront and around 1.5 in the rear..give or take a few turns of the thread

A less expensive setup is the Tein Basic coilovers. They still allow you the height adjustment but have a set dampner which is on the stiffer side (a bit stiffer than CS but not as stiff as Tein Flex coilovers).

For camber kits....alot of people are running SPC full camber kits. (thats also what I run).

Suspension forum has alot more write on this stuff

Tein CS with EDFC FTMFW!!!

IMO it's hands-down the best suspension you can do for a street driven G sedan. A good set of sway bars to go with it are a must.

Or for an affordable set you can go with BC Coilovers. Awesome price at just around $1k and they have 32 levels of adjustment on the dampener.

Tein Flex with EDFC. With 19" rims, this is a very stiff ride - and with the EDFC, you can make it stiffer. I like it but I does take some getting used to. Awesome in the twisties and during playful maneuvering.

I can't imagine the Flex for a daily driver but some people love the very firm ride.

Great setp up PaPa. I tried ordering tein CS cause i hear a lot of good reviews about them but apparently they're back order for a good 60 days I'm planning to slam my car pretty low since im going with the "VIP" look with my 19x10 work varianza schewert sc1. Im trying to see figure out what's a good set up to be slammed and have a pretty good ride. Thanks again for all the posting in all my threads, they actually helped a lot If you havent noticed, im fairly new to the g35 forum, just left the honda scene and got myself a G
