Thanks for the info Jethro. That really makes my coilover choice a lot easier now.
While I was searching the forum I saw in another post that you had the rear extenders, was that a straight forward install? I'll be going with them as well, I'm guessing a hole needs to be drilled somewhere to get the extender through?

I got rid of my car, but was very happy with the Fortune Auto coilovers. A million times better than Swift lowering springs with stock struts.

After doing some digging around and talking to people , I ordered some bc racing adjustable coilovers which drop it 1 to 3 inches from stock height and all these have been daily drivers. Cost me $1000 shipped to my door in Canada for my 2013 g37x sedan

anyone have any experience with KSport coils? I am in the same boat myself and just got a 2012 4dr xs. Heard alot of chatter bout the BC's both positive and negative so not really sure who to believe. leaning towards KSport because it comes with the built-in adjustable cambers (correct me if im wrong).

The G setup doesn't allow for camber plate adjustment, you still have to get camber arms if you drop more than 1.25". K Sports seem to be a decent choice for AWD Gs, and they have the true rear coilover setup which should be a plus since it's the rear OEM separate spring/shock configuration that seems to be the noise generator

does that mean that BC sells cheap springs that cause the noise or could it be because the coils were installed incorrectly? I heard others who have BC and have no complaints bout noise but more say they do. Also saw some people on here get the BC setup but purchase separate springs and it helped\resolved the noise and ride factor. I was so close to pulling the trigger on BC's but now I have to wait to do more research....
