Looks good, I too am not a fan of lowered cars unless subtle and yours looks great! Glad you didn't follow the "slammed" crowd

Have you experienced much bottoming out or scraping?
I'm lowered on Eibach springs and don't scrape on anything, including driveways, speed bumps, etc.

Mine is a 2012 G37S 6MT. I might raise like half an inch.

I honestly haven't experienced too much bottoming out or scraping. Only time I've heard it do that was when I was in the parking garage at working coming off the ramp. I was driving somewhat fast coming off the ramp and heard the apron scrape. Other than that, it's been great.

Honestly, I love the way it rides. These are on the softer side. I want to say that it's almost softer than stock. It drives very smooth, but definitely have a lot more confidence when taking corners at higher speeds and virtually no body roll. I highly recommend them. I was looking into the BC Racing Coils because of the adjustments, but I would never touch them. If you're looking to save some money, want to go a decent amount lower, but still want to have a smooth ride, I would go with these Teins.

I believe they can go a little lower, but I feel like its low enough already,.

IMO that's about as low as you should run the Basis, if you go to their web site you'll see the recommended drop range. The Basis are geared toward a milder drop vs other coilovers and if you go too deep w/ these you will shorten damper life and ride quality.

You've done very well sir

Thanks, I have a 2013 G37xS 7AT I'll have to check if this kit is compatible with my ride.

I definitely want to drop and camber it. But it's my DD so I want to keep it practical.
