I can get them made but i need atleast 6 people that want to buy them too since companies don't like making one per person but instead batches.They run $1100 and should take about 2-3months to get them done.Dunno about shipping I can ask.Anybody down?A deposit must be made to know you wont back out.Let me know.

Maybe we can get these done for 2009.

Maybe some details/specifications of the coil-overs themselves might be helpful?(i.e., spring rates, load ratings, materials used, etc...,etc....)

Speaking as one who has driven a lowered stiffer sprung Q since 1995 [about 270,000 miles] , why would any sane person wish to redesign the stock suspension and ride height....................see posts about oil pan problems and inner tire tread wear.

The physical effect of lower is at best a 2% improvement in weight trasfer.

Just a lil info not everybody here likes their car stock.Mines gonna be 4inch off the ground.If i can do i can replace the pans.Its all worth it just like you get a hair cut why not keep it natural and never cut it?It sounds stock to me.

No me and my teacher wont.I guess i'll update on details Its a shop who will be making them.They need my suspension to see spring rate and etc in order to make it work.Since nobody does do them for the 90-93 G50.He said,"Only way i can make them is if you get 6+ people to want them because if it's just you it'll cost more.And i know there's people on here who want them.Unless you an OEM freak.

No hard feels to the ones who like OEM it's just like us we like it low you like it high it'll be all right.

P.S.I see you owned a lowered Q45 let us experience it too.Dont hog the fun.

It's not about high or low but suspension geometry and suspension travel, spring and damping rates.

You will learn a lot if you will invest the time to read the posts.

If you don't, your knowledge of the G50 will remain scattered, shallow and unfocused.

And yes, there are coilovers produced for the G50.

I still have yet to see any specs for these $1100 coil-overs.

I'm not about to drop $1100 on coil-overs just to have them snap in half on me the first hard corner I take because someone failed to mention that they were made out of old Coors cans.

Also, I'm getting old so when I take a ride in a luxury sedan I'm not looking to have my fillings replaced every month due to the vibration from excessively stiff springs.

The lack of interest is possibly due to your lack of information.

And don't take this as a personal attack, I would reply to any member who posted this same offer, with the lack of information, in the same way.

Do you know what the difference is between shocks/struts or coil overs for the 94+ and 90-93?

Once you find the answer to that, you'll realize "building coil overs" isn't the best answer.

Unless there's something immensely different when it comes to the coil overs, the rears should bolt right on and the only difference on the fronts should be the 90-93 have a slightly smaller lower mounting pin. IIRC, it's ~1.5mm. Like thejapino mentioned in another thread (where you were discussing this), you can just change the lower bushing

If you seriously want quality coil overs, contact one ton garage

FYI, You may also see better response to coil over discussion in the VIP sub-forum of NICO.
