Bahoni,

Nice ride! What are the specs on your wheels and tires? Camber kit? Is the rear at the highest setting? Thanks for posting.

Thanks!
Wheels are Volks G10 19" (Front 19x9.5 +35, Rear 19x10.5 +35)
Tires, Vredestein Ultrac Sessenta, Front 245/35 19, Rear 275/35 19
Camber kit, Eibach on the rear, SPC on front
Rear is not at the highest Since there is a .8" drop but I am not sure how many turns on the adjuster, but I can take a picture of it to show you how high is sitting. Car is in the shop now, getting a new engine.

This is interesting, Bahoni, how long have you had your KWs? I wonder if they have changed the spring length or threaded section, would seem to be the only logical reason to have such disparity.

I have them on about little over 7 years now. Since They installed, I didn't mess with them.

I think It wouldn't but you never know. Here is a more recent shot:

I will send you a picture of the actual coil over asap.

Sal_IPL your Stance was nicer before the KW's Why did you change them? I bought the Tanabe Sustec Lowering Springs. I have a 2012 G37xS. I believe that I was the first AWD lowering application using these. Supposed to be only 5% stiffer than stock. I'm on 9" 19" (Japanese/Canadian import) I live in Montreal where the pot holes, cracks and crevices are bone jarring. I'm on new Toyo's. 245/40/19 and 265/35/19s. I was thinking of switching to KW V3s too to soften the ride however after seeing this thread I'm not so sure I want the problem with the rear wheels. I'm also using H&R 15mm spacers in the front and 20mm in the rear. My friend say that the car is perfect however my wife hates driving in some parts of the city where the roads are bad. I had the Tanabe Sustec NF210 Springs. In Japan this is the go to product with the local G37 coupe drivers. I didn't need a camber kit. The fronts were perfect an the rear offset if -2 degrees which is still within spec. My local Infiniti dealer installed them and checked the alignment. We have a mechanic here who does a lot of mods.

This might sound noob but u guys sure u guys are adjusting the collars the right direction? For my teins if I wanna increase height I screw collars down. At first I thought up but the rear kept lowering. I think most oem style coil over rear adjustment is the same
