Well, I heard back today.
Things look promising. I need to pull the front wheel, take some measurements and a few pics of specific locations and get back to them. They think they'll work, but want to see some info I collect before saying so for sure.
I'll try to get this done over the weekend.

I'll keep ya's posted.

Sorry my car is in the shop now, cv boot rip and had some other issues. Hopefully they will come out soon. They are pretty good in keeping you updated keeping their word.

You can feel the excitement in the air, huh Wes?
Possible coilovers and a drop that will actual fit our needs? I'm all tingly with anticipation.

I just have to find someone who can pay for all this now.

Is it just me... * rhetorical question*

or do you guys find when you drive your G (unless you drive your car like a grandma)... you find that the suspension doesnt quite match the power of our car? Thats how I feel... :S

Why couldnt our rides come with a better sport tuned suspension from the factory? WHY? Our cars are "sport sedans" after all.

I just felt like ranting..

That's cause you got an X fool.
My GCC spec G with sport suspension handles pretty well. Of course a set of coils and some braces won't hurt...

ahaha... in my defense, I came from an 01 honda accord.

So when I test drove a G35X, I was like.. WOW! this car doesnt have any body roll at all!!! lol I guess I was just used to CRAZY body roll that.. this felt very stiff. But now.. my taste has changed.

I want harder! sharper! more balanced drive!!

I came from an 06 Acura MDX... that has body roll!

I haven't had a chance to collect the information needed to pursue this yet and the wife has us out of the house all day today.

Just in case anyone else has time where I have none.... here is what I'm supposed to be doing...

Scott,

Thanks in your intrest in BC. We have not confirmed the fitment. Could you take pictures of the front of your suspension without the tires on. I would believe Nissan/Infinity would not have changed the design on those fronts. The only item we would need to confirm would be the front lower portion of the shocks (the mounting position). The rest we should be ok with. At the same time your in there if you could measure the length of the shock. For reference if you could snap a picture of the full shock front also and indicate with photoshop or paint from where you measured that would be helpful. Based on your information, it would allow me to see where we stand and what I could offer you to help with final examination or prototype testing.

Thanks,
Pete Melian


If nobody else can do this, I'll try getting it done one night this week.

the front lower mounting point is different on the X. I believe that's the only difference.

Yeah, I know there's some work to do before these will work.
I'm in MA and they're in FL, so I can't donate my car for the work, and not many people in FL have AWD's.
I need to send them the pics and measurements to see if they can do anything for us.

I am willing to test fit and work with them until things are 100% right, if they agree to the work as well.
