BC coils are on!!

I drove out to Long Island yesterday to have Mike (OHH NOES on g35nyc) install my coils. First off let me tell you that if you live in NY you have to check him out for installs he is fast, professional and his prices are insane!!! He has a sweet 02 maxima with a snail under the hood an a ton of custom work. I was there for a few hours chilling and his friend showed up with another G as well. On the downside as some of you know my camber kits were lost by ups (or the mail man stole them because he was giving us funny looks when I was there lol). B I will get them soon! Here are a few pics at my current ride height, its perfect, I just graze my driveway when backing out at an angle which is amazing because its a giant hill. They handle great and it looks sweet! All I need are some spacers.. tell me what you think 25 front 20 rear? idk.. here there are sorry if they are a bit out of order!

Looks very nice and yes, OHH NOES is defiantly the person to go to. He installed my suspension for me before as well.

Let me know if you develop any noises in the rear. I had the same rear shocks with the side mount adjustment **** and got a rattle from the back. Called BC and sent them pics and the said the side mount was the old style they had the noise issues with. The sent me the top mount style and the noise went away. Keep your ears open.

That's very odd. I previously confirmed with BC Racing that the rear shocks with the adjustment **** on the side was the newest iteration of their shocks. The kit I ordered just recently (1.5 months ago) came with the **** on the side which is what I wanted as it makes adjusting the damper settings 1000x easier. (Well, maybe not 1000x, but close).

Reading the forms here and on myg37, it seemed to me that it was the older kits that came with the top adjustment ***** necessitating removing the shocks or running extenders which, on the sedan, is quite difficult.

So far on my kit with the side adjustment ***** I have not experienced any noise whatsoever.

They told me differently. Maybe top mounts are just cheaper and they didn't want to give me a good set of the new style.

I just installed mine 4 days ago. I lowered the font 1.75" from what it came from factory and left the rears alone. Now need to raise the front about 0.5" to make it even.

Also since you live in NYC what are your adjustments from soft to hard? what are you running? Front factory mine were 22/30 = pretty stiff. So I would need to soften them up.

I would say do a 14 front and 10 rear for a combination of comfort and handling
