AWD Coilovers

Could it be..... https://g35driver.com/forums/4284411-post1.html

Now heres the catch. Those were made for my car 03-06. I think the newer gens are almost like ours.

I am willing to let someone from the Seattle area try them on to see if they fit.

I'm not holding my breath, but I am already counting pennies and trying to find a buyer for a slightly used kidney.

HAHAHA touche!!! lol

question about coilovers:

since your able to adjust the height yourself.. does this mean, that your car will be out of alignment everytime you do so?

in other words, do you choose a height, get it aligned, and then stick with that height?

thanks.

You should have it checked with each adjustment, unless it's a temporary setting.
For instance, with the electronic style that can be set from the driver's seat, you set your everyday height and get your alignment.
You can then adjust it to a sport setting as needed and then pop back to everyday mode when you're done playing.

Yes, that's correct. Once you find the stance you can live with, get it aligned. Anytime you make changes to the height after the alignment, you should get it re-aligned.

Electronic adjustment like EDFC is only adjusting the dampening, and not the height.

So far, no complaints. I honestly expected good quality and they don't disappoint at all.

I do think I have to set them a little softer. I was going about 110 and hit a sizable dip in the freeway that was also on a curve. Felt as though my car caught some "air" (although probably not) although it rebounded quickly.
