Dude that would be Awesome G35xQX1, and you're in Chitown which is like 2 hours away from me. Maybe this summmer? are you rolling with the G37s now? With winter tires?

 

Boss,

Not to hijack the thread, but are the Volks hubcentric or you had to use centering rings?

 

Honestly, I don't know. I would go with hubcentric.

 

Jran had a really good explanation... I'm not sure why he deleted it.

I'd be curious to know is the Volks are hubcentric by themselves or if they need the hubcentric rings, as well.

 

I don't know. I could try to email them and ask.

 

I just emailed them and asked them if the rims are hubcentric.

 

You didn't have to go through that much trouble, Wes... but it is appreciated. I figured you could just look at it the next time you had the wheels off the car. Either way, let us know what you find out.

 

Will do.

 

Tell us about the performance & handling with these impuls compared to stock!

(before the hotchkis sways was put on of course).

Thanks!

 

Hey Will... Any updates? Is the rear sitting level yet?

FYI... I just picked up a set of Tanabe NF210 lowering springs at Riverside Infiniti yesterday when I was over there picking up my new exhaust... These are supposed to give a 1" - 1.3" drop and are listed as having spring rates only 5 % heavier than the stock springs, so I'm hoping that these will end up being a good compromise between the Impul's and the Eibach's.

 

I had the springs and the sways put on at the same time, so I can't comment on the one without the other. The rear is still 1/4 higher on the right than on the left. I just have to have more frequent passengers!

 

1/4" is probably ok, but I'm sure it will settle in a little more once you drive around with someone in the back seat. For what it's worth, my RR is maybe 1/16" - 1/8" higher than my LR... of course, I haven't had anyone in the back seat since I last had the car up on jackstands a couple of weeks ago.

 

I haven't had anyone in the back seat since it was on the lift looking at the spring and that was about 2 weeks ago, so that's probably why. I'll let you know if it changes. Thanks for the info.

 

Just drive over to Dunkin Donuts and find the fatest guy in the place and ask him if he'd like to take a ride in your G.

 

UPDATE: I contacted japanparts.com and this is the whole conversation we had.......
Dear William,

The specific height difference between the left front and the right front
was that the right front was 1/4 higher and the right rear was 1/4 higher
than the left rear. Thanks for the info.

Dear William,

Thank you so much for your e-mail. This is Tsuyoshi from Japanparts.com.
About Impul spring, I asked Impul and the engineer said that there are some
difference of the height between RH and LH, especially on the front side, it
is also OEM though. The maker wants to know that the actual different height
between RH and LH, you said that 1/4 but more specifically, so please inform
me.

Yours sincerely

Thanks for the fast response. I had the springs checked by the shop that
installed them and they were in correctly. I haven't had a lot of people on
the right side of the car since I had the springs installed, that's why I
think they aren't settled yet.

Dear William,

Thank you so much for your e-mail. My name is Tsuyoshi from
Japanparts.com. About the springs for V36, according to the information of Impul, these springs make the car height lower about 2-4cm, but your car is not the same height between RH and LH, this would be not normal, so please make sure that the installation is correct or not. I need to know you installed them to the car your self or by mechanic. Please response to me.

Yours sincerely
