Just picked these up for the upcoming season :).....finally upgrade my Eibachs now... :gapteeth:

I need new tires (NT-05) only lasted me two seasons...but man were they awesome while they lasted....they were like racing tires...every little stone would stick to them when they were new.

Has anyone needed a camber kit after installing these?

Lemme know how those work out for you when you do get them. I think I might need the camber I have when I get the new wheels on there, but I kinda want my stock wheels to sit right in the winter.

Niiiice

You may find yourself wanting spacers for the G wheels once you go lower, though

Thanks bud, I don't have any experience with spacers, but I'd definitely want an aggressive look. The G35 Rays used to rub in the back since they are staggered so I had my rear fenders rolled. What thickness do you suggest for the spacers? 7mm? :poke:

Thanks!

Hey just got mine installed 2 weeks ago with SDmotorsports. was 980. Makes for a very smooth stable ride but when you hit a bump, you feel it. Still on stock dampening but once they settle in I am going to tweak it. My regular shop was not able to get my rear camber and toe where it should be so I am waiting on racingline to get these arms done so I can zero it in. Car def feels a lot more confident. Only complaint is that when I hit a poor area on the freeway where it starts to get a little wavy, the car really starts to bounce. This is expected though with these coils though.

in another thread a member named Loop just recieved some new shock cartridges for the BC Racing coils, thinks it may improve the bit of harsh ride from them. Might be something to look into if it fixes it. Im sure he'll give a full update when he gets some miles on them

I will be installing it today pretty soon =) If you pay close attention on how the BC Racing coilovers shock travels, you will notice the rears is whats causing the harsh/bounce ride. Plus I do have confirmation that it may be true. I will know shortly.

Time restraint. I will have to postpone the new thread till sometime this week.

Can someone create a thread to get a census who has issues with their BC Racing BR coilovers. i.e noise, harsh ride, spring rate, custom valving, etc...
