15's all around too. I think it's just right for me. MD has some terrible roads so going stiffer might be a bit much.

im in NJ/NYC so the roads are rough, what do you think of 20 compared to 15?
I am not concerned with dampening or how hard it hits the road, but I am concerned with the rebound, how the car responds after it comes out of the compression. at 20 was there less rebound? I am asking this because i feel that at 15 the rebound is a bit high for me, which at times create float.

at 25 there was definitely a lot less rebound, but the ride was too stiff. 20 might be okay.

hey guys i was wondering if you could chime in on this one. looks like BC sent me the coilovers for the 1st gen sedan. i talked to a customer sales rep and they said that the assembly was the same and that all i had to do was wait for the 12K spring to be shipped instead of the 10k? is this true? thx

Don't know about the differences, but technically it should be okay to use the 10k front springs as long as the dampers match up with them. You'll get a comfier ride, for one thing. Whether 10 or 12k, it's still sprung more than the OEM set-up and should be able to handle the weight just fine.

Has the low maximum height been an issue in the rear? Like does the car bottom out or rub with people in it? Has anyone had there coilovers customized such that they can be adjusted a bit higher in the rear if desired, like closer to stock? 1.5 fingers is what I've heard and that seems low for the highest setting.

I'm mostly interested in tightening up the suspension/roll/weight transfer a bit rather than totally slamming it. Also, is this overkill for that?

^^^looks sick! Question: how much height adjustment do you have? Can you raise your G any higher if needed?

front... any height I want, rear maybe oh so slightly. Again, I don't know what springs came in the rear, its possible that I got the shorter version, however, upon installation my shop told me that it was a royal PITA to set the height in the rear and that's the best they could have done in in a 6 hour work day...
honestly, i only have issues with big *** speed bumps and big *** highway dips where I can hear the plastic underbelly scrape just a bit...
i just got my 15k mile service and the my service advisor was googling all over the car and telling me how everyone liked the setup...I did not expect this reaction from Infiniti, who I hear is a stickler for mods...
BMW and Audi were so much cooler

I want everyone to know that your voices are being heard by BC and they are making the effort to resolve the rear setup issue. I received the new rear springs for testing. I don't have time to get them installed right now but it'll be done soon and I'll post up pics of the highest and lowest settings.

Stay tuned!
