the initial inspection:

after opening the boxes :

appearance: the appearance wise they are super nice..blue, how can you go wrong...lol...tehy look very strong and beefy, not cheap like some other coilovers i had seen...they are heavy and seem super strong....
all the parts seem well put together, nice welds, nice paint, stainless nuts..seems like great stuff..
i have seen tein for a G35 and these seem heavier and beefier then them, they are not as good as KWv3 thats for sure, not as good as KWv3 i was told by the company, but better then BC's, megan..much better...higher quality i was told
..also forgot to add they have 16 dampning levels..i will be getting more info on this unit tomorrow hopefully...

overall im very excited to get em installed, i did not think they were gunna be this nice...i hope they work up to the standards that was told to me...pretty much on my reviews they will know whther they are garbage or not...so i will be very honest in the next couple days on my findings...

So it's between Megan/BC and KW's, quality wise.

How's the pricing on these though?

I like their color scheme. Not that it'll matter though.

these are going to be contenders, i know it, if they were cheap looking or feeling they would not be going in to my car, but from my point of view, a few friends and my shop said they look great and seem to be very well made...so we wont know til they get installed and driven on =0)

No clue why SPC is sending the 72265 Toe Bolts for the G37. You don't need them.
