Pic request : Slammed G35 Sedans
#242
12K as in 12,000lbs? Or is that a brand or something? I have Tanabe GF210's which have somewhat low spring rates but high enough to be relatively stiff regardless. I'm wondering how your ( everyone that's slammed ) springs rates compare. Your rides much be super harsh to keep from bottoming out I can imagine.

I dunno...my car is stiff but rather confortable for how low it is. The problem is that roads down here are super screwed up and makes me weary of going to a higher spring rate.

I have the same problem. I hate it but at the same time I like being this low and I dont wanna raise my car. Gotta cut a hole in my strut tower!

I thought mine was and BC assured me it wasnt. So I looked again and low and behold I saw marks where the arm would hit the strut tower. What kind of arms do you have G35papa.

I'm running 350evo A-arms now and have no issues what-so-ever. My first setup was Tein CS coils and SPC 'unrevised' arms. I had knocking. I switched the arms out to the 'revised' arms and the knocking was less but still enough for me to hate it. I then switched up to Stance which has alot stiffer spring rate and still suffered from the knocking. Now, perfect, no knocking at all. I also had the visible marks.
This is the first time I've heard of OEM arms having the knocking issues. I wish you guys lived close by, I'd say come over and we can have a looksy.
One thing comes to mind.....on my Tein CS, the adjustment and spring tension use the same collars. If you go down low enough, the spring looses the pre-load and basically sits free. Over larger bumps, you will get a rattle and slight knock because the spring is actually traveling/floating. I think BC coils use a seperate adjustment collar so this is not the case for you Lumpia.
