My G on Tein Basic Coilovers! *pics*

Hey guys!

After much debate of selling my Tein Basic coilovers for the HKS Hypermax LS coilovers, I decided to keep the Teins and slap them on this past weekend. After analysis, I found the 9 kg F & R spring rates to be the most to my satisfaction. The G sampled w/ HKS coilovers was a much stiffer ride than stock and I wanted something softer for the street as I don't plan on doing extensive track days with the G. The ride with these on feels 90% like stock! It tackles all the little imperfections on the road tremendously well.

I wanted to slam the car but knew it would be impossible to move around and make it up driveways, especially with a 1" lower stance already over stock with the Nismo bumper. I can still maneuver around pretty well. Yeah, I scrape the bottom every now and then when going up a large driveway, but nothing is visible unless you physically look under the car.

I'd like to bring the rear down a little more. Other than that, everythings peachy =P

Here are some pics, enjoy:

Thanks for the comments guys! I've still got bats 3/10 full headlights & tailights along with the 3/10 clear sidemarkers to install. Just another touch for the black theme. Next is the Gialla Grille =P
