hmm i may just even stick to my current springs...they look fine....after i get those 35 series tires of front and get the rear cambered out it should look fine and not rub, which i am happy with.

+1 on the pros. Price is right around the same price as the JICs. I haven't heard anything about it being a hassle to maintain. I don't believe you lose any performance, especially if you go with Universal Air. They have a video of someone drifting with their suspension. Also with UA, you can use your current coilovers, so you really don't lose any dampening.

Not particularly a fan of Vossen rims, but I must admit those look great on your car.

There isn't really much maintenance but if anything were to go wrong with them then it's a hassle to repair the part since there are so many different components to an air bag system.

And you definitely lose performance. The fact that you're riding on bags filled with air will make you lose dampening. You may not notice on the street but you will surely notice on the track. When taking a hard corner you will not have the same stability as you'd have from a true coilover setup. Even if UA uses your coils you will lose some performance due to the bags.
That's why they made the cup kit, which is essentially a true coilover kit that can be raised to go over speedbumps and etc. and then lowered to desired ride height.

In drifting you don't exactly need tight (stable) cornering abilities like you would on a racetrack so airbags would suffice, although they would be way more prone to damage.

Wow! The Vossen's look great, man! Definitely a different look than the G37S coupe rims you had before.

I personally wouldn't go with bags... you'll lose quite a bit of handling performance with them, especially if you ever plan on tracking your car. The main upside is obviously the convenience of being able to change the ride height at the touch of a button.

FYI... If you're really undecided about getting bags, then you could always go with the K-Sport coilovers now, as they allow you the ability to convert them to bags later. If you get them, contact 2C or Levon at StreetWorks and tell them Adrian sent you... Also, 2C has the K-Sport coils with Universal Air bags on his G37, so you can ask him any detailed technical questions you might have.

Love that lot your house is on too! You'd crack up if you saw how close my neighbor's houses are to mine, and I'm on what is considered a relatively large lot here in SoCal (just unded 1/2 acre). LOL

I'm not sure about the ones they released for our cars, but they have a bad rep for oil leaking out of the shock.
