stock non -sports sedans are about 5K fronts / 5.5 rears and sports suspension is 5.5 fronts and rear 6k
on top of that i just got off the BC racing site, they listed a g35 RWD with 10kg/8kg

prices are $1250, hopefully we can get a GB going. 10kg/8kg works great for me.

This weekend, I am going to lower it more and check out the ride. Maybe the stiffer spring and being slammed will keep it off the bump stops.

An email I got.

You can go to 2K in each direction. For example if you have 8k springs on their now then you could run a 6k or a 10k with that valving.

I cant wait for this, please put my name on the GB. The only reason i even go to this site anymore is to check out the damn AWD thread. Ride is getting super bumpy now, still on stock shocks, i assume i should continue holding out buying the stock ones again and wait for these.

Im stupid when it comes to suspension, so these will be coilovers (Shock + spring) for front and rear, correct? I currenly have z springs in the front and coupe springs in the rear and am happy with that particular ride height. Just want to make sure i will be able to achieve this w the new ones after they hit production.

Coilovers are shocks and springs.

They offer ride height and damping adjustments. So you can somewhat try to get a cushy ride back and you can go lower or higher then you want.

the last revision lumpia got fully up gave us 3 fingers gaps, which is almost STOCK and most coilovers give you about 3-4 inchs of drop. So this could slam us down to the ground as well.

Do you mean top mounts. Everything comes with it that you need to install.

As for you pm. The first time two times I changed my front spring I paid someone to do them. When we put the s-techs on we did not need a spring compressor. From there it was the vrt coilover system.

btw guys, I lowered it all the way down. Its tucking tire. I did have a problem when I first did it. Bottoming out. But I kind of figured what I did wrong. I had too much slack in the spring so I raise the spring up and made it tighter. Took the same drive as I did before and it did not bottom out in the same spot as it did. However that doesnt mean it wont bottom out on a big bump. If you dont pay attention and hit a pothole all the way lowered and doing a good enough spend you will bottom out. I will get some pics on soon.

Also either I am getting use to the 12k or I was being a *****, but it doesnt seem that bad anymore. Well unless I put it on fully hard.

how come you took VRT coilovers off? I still have mine sitting in garage. Need to get new arms after mine bent.

I took them off because I wanted to have a coilover that uses the stock arms. I also want everyone else to be able to have coilovers, since VRT went bye bye.

I dont think you are going to be able to get new arms.
