Some Speed bumps I can get up but the ones that go straight up, I get stuck. Lol I don't know how to explain it ha. But you can get coils, just don't go as low!

Let me know how the front kit works out for you. I have G35 camber kit in the rear and coilovers camber in the front which is maxed at 1.5 degrees. Do you know what degree you're running in the rear?

I took it to an alignment shop and the guy told me I was -2.5 degrees in the back right Now. But not sure how accurate that Is lol. I plan to go -1 degrees in the front and see how that Looks. I didn't get a camber kit for the Rear, but I will in the future

Hehe. A lot of people were worried that it wouldn't fit also. 10.5 do fit in our fronts only with the right offset, if the offset is too high then it will hit the strut/shocks and if it's too low it'll rub the fenders even when rolled. But yeah everyone and their mother told me that it's bad for the car and that it will look too aggressive, ofc they all changed their minds once I was done :gapteeth:

Do you hit speed bumps when youre that low? Are the bolts long enough to accomodate strut bars? Im looking at Coilover options atm.

hey, i'm new here and i just picked up my 2.5s last weekend...

i have a set of bc coilovers coming in next week, but i have read some bad things about them, so i am considering some alternatives...

any of you guys having issues with the ksports' making weird noises, bolts coming loose, etc ?

also, what did you do for camber adjustments? i got some spc camber bolts for the front/rear, but i'd like to throw in the 350z/g35 arms if they fit the '12s...

any info regarding this matter will be greatly appreciated, thanks !

I haven't had any problems with ksport other than they go low as s***! Lol no noise, no nothing. I don't have the camber arms yet but I plan on getting them soon. BCs had alot of bad reviews and that's why I chose ksport. bCs do go low though but yeah.. You might hear noises cause they aren't true coils in the rear

thanks for your input...

i think i will return them and go with the D2s since the vendor i ordered from do not carry the ksports and afaik, D2 = ksport...

i'm really digging your car, it looks very clean... i have a feeling my car will look almost identical to yours in the near future :rotfl

i'm going to guess that your wheels are the tsw valencias, 19s ?

i'm going with the mesh look as well, but probably go with 18s... as of now, i am set on the enkei lussos

Yeah they are 19s. And lussos are nice, 18s might look a little small but you can just slam it all the way down

i found out i have to pay a restocking fee if i want to return the coilovers, so i guess im keeping my BCs afterall [ill keep my fingers crossed @_@]...

i went ahead and got the rear camber arms as well, so i should have all the parts necessary to lower my car by the end of the week...

BC is a suspension company, that's their thing. The reason people keep getting noises and trouble from BC's is because most of them install it themselves and don't worry about the dampening or the valves. ANY suspension you get will be noisier the lower you go. Yea it looks nice but it is not comfortable, that's why it's called FORM > FUNCTION.

yes, i definitely assumed that to be a possibility...

i am getting my set installed professionally by the best alignment shop in my area with no costs spared, so it should all be fine or they will know exactly what to do to fix the issue...

thanks for your input.
