Before you hate too much, know that we have three small kids (6, 4 and 4 years old), want something that is reliable but low price that can hold everyone with plenty of room for their friends. My wife will be driving it most of the time and then the #1 reason, if we got an SUV, I was going to have to part out and sell my G. This way I get to keep the G and have a DD so I can take on some more projects for it.

I am cracking up right now Tim. I'm sure you will have it looking (and driving) right before long. Or is the wife going to make it "off limits" for mods?? It makes sense when you have 3 kids. I have one - she'll be 3 in May. I would get one too if it meant I got to keep my G. I was "raised in a minivan" so if it came down to it I would probably get a station wagon before a minivan.


lol..............Tim in a minivan. Love to see what you do to THAT!

Also, from what I’ve researched – they are probably a good budget minded choice for height adjustment, but I’m not convinced they are that high on the list for performance… Gsedan35 (as you know) is the guru you might want to inquire from him for his expertise…

IMO KW V3 is a good choice for quality, price, performance… I’ll PM you an exceptional price that I was quoted.

Thanks Mike!

I appreciate any help I can get on the subject.
It's been quite a while since I looked into coils and my wants are way different now.

From what I determined, KW V3 would be a good choice for your needs too.
You don't have a premium package G Mike?

I love the black on black...on black Mike. It looks really sleek. Still love that pic with the storm clouds rolling in the background the best, even if it was before you got the bumper. With it backed against the fence. You are good with the camera.
Nice job.

lol...I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with that...just thought he did. It's nice to be able to access the adjustments on the shocks from inside the car (no I'm NOT rubbing it in! )

But I do rub it in to all my coupe friends
