Ive had mine on the coupe for 6 months and agree. The best suspension upgrade since the roll bars. Very easy to adjust and as comfortable or as tight as you want.

I believe the Tanabe Sustecs are only adjustable for ride height. You can't adjust how hard or soft the ride is.

well the fact that i didnt have a lift and no air gun for most of the install ... the constant use of jacks and one socket wrench made a decent job that much harder... think about it. it can be straight foward but still tedious

Hey, I need a little help with purchasing BC Coilovers (sorry if it these are all minor questions)

I have a g37x sedan, do any of you guys know the part number for the correct coilover for my AWD sedan? I checked out BCs website, and I think its V-04 (but its listed for a 2004 AWD sedan). I emailed BC sales (as they weren't answering their phones) and they never replied back. I just don't want to buy the wrong part so figured I would check with you guys.
Also do people feel the extenders are worth it/necessary?
What spring rates do you guys suggest: 12/10 vs 10/8? Mine is a daily driver (never track the car) with occasional 500+ mile drives so I'm thinking I need 10/8 rate, but I didn't know if spring rate even matters much for DD use.
Thanks in advance, and again sorry for the questions.

This is a helpful thread.. yea I keep hearing KW's are the best, but also the most expensive.. $2100! BC Racing is actually near me, so picking up a set of these coils wouldn't be an issue. As you describe the quality is good and the feel is excellent. So I just saved myself $1100 to put towards an exhaust... or wheels.. or that intake.. damn man.. this is hard work!

lol well i kinda went with BC because its the only company that makes coils for the X coupe ... i would have went with the KW V3 in a heartbeat if i had rwd. but now that i have the BC's i would never get any other brand... PS i had Ksports on my 08 accord and i thought they were AWESOME!!!! and i recently found out its the same company so BC is a no-brainer to me now!

Without extenders you pretty much need to take the tires off or have some very skinny arms.
