Invest in the Fortune Auto product that will be hitting the market soon. We need a few more individuals for group buy as well.

There are no other coilover options for the sedan? There's got to be.

Doesn't look like there are a lot of options and the options that are available aren't all winners either. With BC being the "best" out of that group it doesn't say a whole lot.

If I was in this position, I would have gotten swift springs and koni yellows. They probably would have put you in BC price range but you would have gotten high quality pieces.

Dude - sell the coils on the forums, get most of your money back, then get the shock/spring combo!!

Plus, if you have access to basic hand tools, a jack and jack stands, you could probably get your suspension installed in an afternoon. It's very simple.

From: Framingham Ma,
Don't want this to fall through the cracks here, We all have expensive and GREAT looking cars and this is unacceptable. They cant just tell us its and installer issue and not something with them set up. I have been trying to contact Sam @BC and email over the weekend and phone call yesterday, I spoke to someone in Sales(Even tho I hit 2 for Tech support), who also told me is was installer error as he's was in a customers G37X sedan that they just installed these on and there was ZERO noise ? If you really want to sit on that then you guys need to send us ( Ones with issues) to a preferred shop of yours and let them look at it. "If" that shop fixes the issue we would pay for the adjustment, If not we pay nothing. .

Kinda talked about the issue and what I was looking at for a resolve and was told "once install them you can not return them" Never heard that before? I said so the rears sound like they are going to come through the rear deck and I have to deal with it? I spent a lot of $$ on these + 2 different places trying to solve the issue, and they will not stop clunking? He them takes my number and says Sam will call you ?? Nothing since Monday AM

It is hard to find good labor. If you are saying one side was raised higher than the other, how much attention to detail was taken, know what I mean?

PM me for a reputable shop I used which is on the north shore and can handle jobs like these.

I emailed that place today man. We'll see. Thanx again

I've said it before and I'll say it again. There have been WAY too many issues with these coilovers for it to be an installer issue. After I had noise issues, I took my car with the coilovers to one of BC's own RECOMMENDED installers and he could not fix the issue (Pete said he read this entire thread and so I wondered why he glanced over my comment when I mentioned exactly this a few pages ago and did not respond to it). Hence, it is NOT an installer issue.

These issues have been going on for YEARS. Just do a quick search on this site or g35driver (multiple multiple threads on the same topic).

People, please just stop buying these coilovers (unless you want to gamble to get a set of BC coils that do no make noise...I'll admit some people have not had noise issues, many have, it's a toss-up).
Pete@BC, either stop selling these and ripping people off or fix the issue.

It is disgusting to see people go through this.
