Has anyone used these coilovers on their G? http://circuitmotorsports.net/...id=87

I found this dealer through a friend who bought a set for his STI and he likes them, they seem to be a good price, but I am not sure about if they are any good for a G? Has anyone used these on here?

BC makes good stuff. And they come w/ front camber plates which is a plus. You will deff. need rear camber arms. And the price seems right on.

Yeah, I have these on my G. Just put them on about 2 weeks ago. In fact, it will be the next article in the NICO Project G37 build: http://www.nicoclub.com/articl...shtml

The G doesn't have struts. Camber plates would not be able to to have any effect on suspension geometry...

Nope. It has a shock and spring in a coilover orientation. Struts bear lateral load. Shocks do not. The shock and spring in the G only see loads that act along it's axis. You can add adjustable plates, but all it will do is change the angle of the coilover. The angle of the wheel will remain the same.

Ah, ok. I suppose I just wasn't on-par with the correct definitions of each.
