Got my coils installed today, they are great, although even my shop told me that they had an issue setting the height of the rear shocks.
This is a top notch shop too, so i don't know what the issue is.

My camber is in the mid 2s so will see how much I can get out of tires. I can always go with the camber kit in the future...

 

How low did you drop it?

 

check that, camber is 1.9 upfront and 2.2 and 2.4 in the rear....
as long as I can get 10k miles out of my tires i'm fine with that....

its not slammed, there's definitely no gap, but i wouldn't call it tucked...
I did scrape my lip at a steep driveway today, but thank god that I have clear bra on it...I'll post pictures in the next few weeks....

Now i gotta get a decent set of wheels, my current Ichiba spacers are giving me vibration issues...

 

Did you drop it more than an inch? Sounds like it.

I'm still waiting for mine to get in, but it'll be set at maximum height (which, from what i've read is about .5" lower than the stock S - non AWD - height).

Would be interested in reading more about your experience with the coils.

 

I think it's lowered about an inch or a little more, def lower than the S coupe.
i'll definitely post a short term driving update, i commute about 400 miles a week...
I also want to hear if you are going to run into the same problems for the rear shock/spring height issue.
This shop specialized in suspension installs and they've put in a few BC's into 350zs, but this is the first time they had some issues.

So far it rides nice and tight, no bounce, no float...

 

Thanks! Looking forward to it. I'll let you know about my experience with it as well, once i get to that point.

 

Camber doesn't kill tires, toe does. Make sure you get the toe aligned. Also the excessive rear camber will only increase understeer. Not a good setup for handling.

 

ah, actually both improper camber and toe settings kills tires. regardless, usually with a drop >1" youll need a rear camber kit and most likely a front control arm (if you care about your tire life)

 

Had my BC coilovers installed today...I think I dropped it waay too much though (front bumper smacks into everything). The ride is abysmal though (I feel EVERY bump) the handling is noticeably better. I think I should adjust them myself.

 

Stiffer springs will make the ride firmer. You could soften the dampening a bit to improve the ride.

 

Any pics? Still waiting on mine. I want to dump my car once I get them.

 

i set it to be 20/30 for all 4 corners..
but there's a problem... remember to mention u want a 230L rear spring instead of 210L( original package one) or else the max height of your rear would be still tuck in the quater pannel >< which is my current problem

 

both do yes.. but toe is what going to kill the tires first.

BC's naturally sit low, even raising them you're still low.

 

Yea I had it fixed today. The damper settings were set to 5 clicks away from fully hard. I think I got the height just where I want it.

 

What settings are you running now? I have 15 all around and want to go up to 20 all around
