Anyone looking to get a coilover made for an AWD G35/G37?
So here's what happened. Basically for my X when it was my only G, I wanted a coilover setup that would have been perfect for the street, with a nice ride and height adjustabilty. I wasn't looking for anything crazy. I found the coilover I wanted, but they only made it for the RWD models (Tein Super Streets). These are designed to ride feeling slightly more sporty than stock, and since they re-use the stock hats they have less chance of making noise since some coils get noise from the hats.

Since it wasn't possible to get TEIN, I ended up dumping a ton of money on stance, with the full camber/toe arms, and even swift springs. While the ride is great in the suburbs or country roads, the city driving here in Milwaukee can be quite miserable. Fast forward to more recently, I picked up a second G, a RWD 6MT that so happened to come with Tein Super Streets. This was the exact kind of ride I was looking for on my AWD G. Because of this reinforcing what I thought would have been best in the first place, I emailed Tein to make our case for the coilover that meets those needs. I mentioned that the RND would be pretty easy, because they already technically have them designed for the rear. Anyway: Here is their response:

Thank you for your interest in TEIN High Performance Suspension
products. Unfortunately we have been trying to look for an AWD G37X/G35X and
have not been successful in finding one. Are you local to our Facility in
Downey CA? Or do you know anyone who will be willing to lend us the vehicle
that is near our facility?

If you should have any further questions please feel free to contact us.
So, are there any of you guys near Downey CA that could donate your car for a little bit? I wouldn't hesitate for second to donate mine but alas, I'm too far!

I'm sure this could also mean more than just the super street series as well.

**EDIT**

Here is the official process to follow if you're interested:

We went ahead and spoke with the Manager and he went ahead and gave you the ok to create a posting on the forum. Again we are looking for both the G35X and G37X for testing.

They can contact us directly by calling us at 562-861-9161 or by filling out the test vehicle application online.

Here is the link to the application

If you should have any further questions please feel free to contact us.

If TEIN comes through, that will make six coil-over options for the AWD crowd.

I would do it but it would be a bit of a drive for me. Hope Tein finds a car.

Feal does custom stuff for a good price point. Different levels of adjustment. I have their mid tier coilovers for time attack and love them.

Okay, you specifically want TEIN, not just a coil-over. Have you sampled any other brand? There may be an extant fitment that meets your ride criteria.

I'd be intersted in Tein Basis for the AWD. Might be better than ksport or BC for a budget coilover.
I wonder how many AWD G''s are in California though for the R&D?

I have Stance on one car and TEIN on the other. I was looking for a coilover like the Street Basis for the AWD, but also wanted a reputable brand like Tein.

Pretty much any non-Chinese brand is reputable. The problem is, reputation comes with a price. You want inexpensive, you go Chinese. You want good, go elsewhere with a fatter wallet. You should look into the Feal brand.

I emailed Tein a few months ago and got a similar response, if I wasn't on the wrong coast I would have let them mess with mine. Did they mention if it would be a "true" style setup, "divorced/OEM", or either or depending on valving?
