Lowering questions

Hey Y'all.

I'm planning on getting a set of BC Racing BR Coilover's for my 13 G37x Sedan. Going to be putting them on with some new shoes (Work D9R 18x9.5 +38). I have a few questions before I do so though:

- Do I need any additional parts to make the drop / ride quality 100%? Won't be slamming the car, just want it to sit pretty (no wheel gap, Function>Form)
(I have already have hotchkis swaybar. Thinking I need end links but don't know what else.)

- Best end links for the AWD Sedan model?

- Can I get away with not using an adjustable suspension / camber kit?

Thanks in advance for any input!

Expect your camber to be a bit out of spec, more so the lower you go on the coilovers.

Its really up to you if you want to buy the camber arms to bring it in to spec or just embrace the new look. 1 to 1 1/2 inches lower should be ok without a mandatory purchase of adjustable camber arms.

You will need to find an alighnment shop that works on modded cars to set your toe back to normal, but dont do that until the new springs settle in after maybe a hundred miles or so, but dont delay it too long as toe being out of spec will wear your tires.

Jsut speaking from my experience.

I lowered my G37S sedan on Swifts (1.2 to 1.5" drop?) over a year ago with the expectation that adjustable UCAs and rear camber arms would not be required.

I was mistaken: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-...trol-arms.html

Adding both was a large improvement for mileage, handling and tire wear.
