lol.... too funny

 

You forget that Alan was corrupted by his brief affair with a certain RWD Honduhhh

Ian, here's another one for the list.
The rear max drop is weird at only 1.5" though...not sure if it's right but I got this info from Lou@Amplified on myG37.com :S

 

No no no. I meant to say that my rear setting is at 10 outta 15. My front is usually 12.

I'd like to try stiffer springs in the rear with better tires. My FK452s loved to lose grip in hard turns with my current settings (10 for coil, med for swaybar). We'll see how do the new PZeros fare.

I'd love to have higher spring rates all around with lower damping setting for just daily ride. I initially wanted to try out HKS HM3, but I've heard they are real tame for street use ideally so is the KW3. It seems like Tein MT w/ EDFC might be my next choice. Well, we'll see if I can save up some quarters for these. lol

 

Well, 12/10 is still pretty fuggin stiff I had it on 10/10 and it was bad. I can only imagine that 12/10 is worse lol. You must have nice roads over there

The bad thing about the HKS Hipermax's (IMO) is that the rear is one individual unit, similar to the K-Sports. There is no separate spring/damper. What concerns me is the stress the shock tower will see as a result of the components being one unit versus two individual pieces. Also, the rear upper mount is composed of only 2 bolts, and not 3 (like the front) or 4 (like many other vehicles), which concerns me as far as the strength of the mount and surrounding metal.

The stock suspension see stress applied over two places (damper and spring), while the HKS only applies stress over that one location. I'm not sure the rear was meant to be suspended that way, and I would think that if there was a benefit that Infiniti would have installed a single unit vs. 2 pieces. I could be wrong though, but that was a concern for me regarding the HKS.

The KW, as far as I can tell, does not separate the height adjustment from the spring pre load. It looks as though lowering the car will change the pre load, which isn't an ideal set up. Here's a link to forged's thread:

KW Link

Again, not the ideal set up in my mind.

 

I agree completely about the HKS,
IMO it severely compromises the structural integrity of the car.

& the other thing with the KWs is the non-linear springs.

 

I should carify the above in bold. The mount of the damper itself isn't a concern, but it's the mounting area of the vehicle that's questionable with the increase in stress from a 1 pc unit.

 

I'll be gettign Tanabe's coilovers after reading some reviews:

I like to put and forget, beside i'm not sure about the 0.5 drop in the front, Lou told me the min.drop is 0.2, so i'll keep stock hight almost, my car is daily driver and i don't like adjusting stuff.

Q8_Drifter if you need to see them or try driving my car (if you didn't get any coilovers your self) pm me, i'll be getting them as soon as Lou get them in mid/late August, i feel like falling in love with them before seeing them.

 

Thanks for the offer i might get mine about the same time as yours. Don't forget to get some spacers or your wheels will be way too tucked in lol.

 

I think no need for spacers, what are your getting? JIC or Tanabe?

 

I'm not sure about the HKS being 1 unti at the rear, i've seen them on a 370z on myg37 forums and the spring we seperated from the shock, here's a link:

On the other hand it might be something different than the g35, anyone can confirm? better with a picture.

 

gettin Tanabe's. trust me the wheels will tuck in even more than stock lol

 

any reviews or opinions on megan coilovers?

 

Anyone running the new JIC FLT-TAR VIP's with the lower spring rates yet?

 

I thought that too, but one vendor was quoted in his thread saying the rear was indeed a single unit.

I'm not totally positive on that, so I was just going off what that vendor stated. If it is a single unit, I wouldn't use it. If it's a double unit, then people can consider it if they like the features it provides
