Looks nice. I wish I had them 19in. wheels.
By the way, on a side note, I notice you have Stillen intake + 5/16 spacer, how's the engine power? I am thinking of getting them soon. Thanks.

 

Looks hot man, nice ride. Any plans to paint the rear calipers red to match the fronts??

 

looking good, love the drop and hks exhaust gotta love it!!!

 

thanks so much for posting this, looks great.

How is the ride as far as ride quality? (Bouncy, harsh, stock like, etc...?)

I have been eying this setup, or at least these springs.

It actually is a little lower than i was thinking which is good. (Are these pro kit for sedan? )

Camber kits neccesary?

 

looks good

 

Thanks Ludwig. I did notice gains with the intake and spacer, more in the >3K range. I had the spacer, intake and HKS exhaust all installed on the same day, so I can't speak to how much gains I would have felt (butt dyno) if they had been installed on different days. Spacer will give you gains, intake is mostly for sound (maybe eek out a couple hp). I've been happy with them, go for it!


Thanks Jimmy. My plan was to get the rear Wilwood 4p brakes, but I had to chose between the drop and the brakes. Don't really like the painted calipers look. I thought the drop was priority at this point. My mind said do it all, my wife, checkbook and baby on the way all disagreed with me.

Thanks Jon, I tried to post this with as many details/info as I could because there have been a ton previous posts that have helped me out a great deal when making decisions as to what to do on my car.

These are the Eibach Pro Kit for the sedan. My initial impressions after only driving it for less than one day is that it is much more stable compared to stock. Cornering/freeway exits are much more controlled with the body roll being significantly reduced. Ride is a little bit harsher and firm, not really bouncy. Car scapes a bit (front lip) on steep driveways, so I have to enter/exit at an angle and sloooowly.

I'm still on the fence about the camber kit. Right now the camber is about -2 in the rear and ~-2.1 or so in the front (if I'm remembering correctly) The front camber cannot be adjusted (without a camber kit) and my installer thinks he can get the rear camber to about -1.8. He says that my tire wear shouldn't be excessive with this amount of camber, but I'm not so sure. The other issue is that since I have Coupe 19s with a +33 offset in the rear and 245/40/19 tires, if I reduce the camber and stand the tires up more, then it may rub in the back and I have to get my fenders rolled. So much to consider....still deciding.

Thanks dunglan! Here are pics of the rear wheels before and after:

ummmm, coilovers are fully adjustable and are vastly superior to springs which usually aren't matched properly to the shocks. Most springs ride softer than stock too lol. RESEARCH BEFORE YOU BUY

 

Yes I understand that they are fully adjustable and that they are properly matched, etc. But I thought that the minimum drop of coilovers exceeded the max drop that I wanted to do (maybe I'm wrong here). Either way, I got such a good deal on the shocks and springs that it was worth it for me. Did a ton of research and am happy with the results so far.

I believe the Eibachs are stiffer than my non-sport sedan springs:

Eibach G35 Sedan 1.1”/1.1” drop on sedan
Spring rates in LBS initial/final front 259/334 initial/final rear 359/416
F +6% R +21% (looking at peak rates and in comparison to a sport suspended sedan)
F +18% R +34% (looking at peak rates only and in comparison to a non sport sedan)
Side Note: The sedan Eibachs were developed on a non sport sedan, they did not use a sport suspended car to do the R&D work.

Regarding the adjustablility of coilovers, Tein Basics for example, have a minimum front height of -1.6, am I reading this incorrectly? I think other coilovers may have adjustability that would meet my needs, but they are way out of my price range.

looks nice

 

looks good

 

I like the way it looks and sits.

 

everything looks awesome good job.

 

The sedan has a short options list for suspensions. Most coilovers, while adjustable, do not begin from OE ride height and go down from there. Many have a minimum of 1" drop and they were designed for the coupe and or 350Z. So for the sedan the mimimum drop would be 1.5" when using a coupe suspension and 2" drop for the Z.

Your car looks great.

 

looks very nice indeed man!!!

 

Looks great! Nice to see the Lakeshore shine.
