Dropped my car on BC Coils last weekend. Big thanks to Zack (zackt69 - RareJDM) and Dave (OH6 G35) for installing the coils and Shane (ShanesG) for rolling my fenders and adjusting the ride height. I have a SPC rear camber kit that will be installed when I get my alignment. Also considering picking up front SPC camber arms.

Will post up some initial driving impressions after I get my alignment and my Rare JDM rear STB comes back from the powdercoater.

That's what I'm talkin about!

Looks great Marcus! I like that you went ahead and just dumped it right from the start. That is what coilovers are for

Look into the SPL front arms instead of the SPC, especially if you plan on going lowerer. I'm going to wind up getting rid of mine cause I can't seem to get rid of the knock I get going over medium to large bumps.

 

Thanks Chris. Your sedan is one of my main inspirations, your drop and wheel fitment is dead on! Not quite dumped like some of you guys (yet). I hope I can get into the parking lot at work tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the heads up on the front camber arms, I'll look into the SPLs.

 

I see some aftermarket rims coming in your future That bug bites hard doesn't it?

 

I hope so, I'm going to have to save for a while to drop that kind of dough. I'll be rockin' the OEM 19s for now. I need rear brakes too...LOL.

Ummm yeah, the bug bites quite hard!

 

Don't get me wrong, looks great with the 19's too. Love how your G has come along. Always been super clean and now its getting a clean aggressive look

 

looks good MC...

if you wont be buying wheels soon, i say you space out the OEMs... take advantage of the extra space in those fenderwells

 

Thanks Dexter. Definitely considering spacers. After I got my fenders rolled I realized there is a bunch of room in there. Not sure what size spacers I need, I guess it depends on how much neg camber I run, maybe 10mm out back, fronts? I don't know of any sedan running spacers on the OEM 19s. Do you run spacers on your Coupe 18s?

 

i tried 15mm spacers in the rear this wknd... effective offset = +15 on 18x8...245/45 tire...took them off - didnt like the way it looked with a flat faced wheel.... wouldve looked better with something that had a lip

you can run thicker spacers on all 4 corners for the OEMs... i suggest 15mm front + 20mm rear... similar to what i run on my VSXX... hopefully shane rolled your fenders flat to allow for gangster offsets later

 

Shane did roll my fenders flat, so I've got plenty of room.

15mm front and 20mm rear would make it:

F: 8.0 +15 245/40
R: 8.5 +13 245/40

I wonder if the 40 series tire would rub in the front.

 

^ with the right amount of camber, you should be able to run that, no problem... i was able to run the 18x8 +15 setup (including spacer), but the look wasnt the cheese, so i took them out...

as soon as i get new tires, ill throw my 19s back on... maybe. ether that, or ill sell them

 

Stamp of approval.... looks great. Where did you get the coils?

 

Looks great Marcus! I can definitely see the negative camber in the back!

 

Nice! I love seeing dropped sedans. I need to get mine re-lowered as well. Trying to dump it as much as I possibly can without having to constantly grind over everything

Shane did a great job on rolling my fenders as well. I needed it bad. Even with a half finger gap in the rear I was rubbing constantly.

 

Hows it like driving around Dumped in LB Marcus? In that pic you look lower than I am! Car looks great any rubbing issues? Speed bumps are going to be a pita for you I can never go up high bumps
