Full Suspension for the G37

Hi guys, havent post enough so still quite new. I work for a parts manufacturer in Taiwan and have developed the first full coil over for the G37(i think). The pics you see is the prototype being fitted on my car. Overall the dimesion are similar to the 350Z. The shock length is abit different and the bracket for the brake lines are placed differently. The setup is 10kg front 8kg back. We didnt have the base height so when we were first done, it was super low like you can see on one of the pictures. Now its about 2 fingers left front and back. The kit is 30 way ride, full length adjustable. Its made by one of our partners. Some of you might recongize its similar to a certain japanese brand design. In fact, most of the japanse brands are made here in Taiwan. Most of the japanese brands are fully made here, the rest import most of their components here.

It rides great and certainly provide a less body roll compare to the stock sport setup. Quality is what you would expect from a $1500 japanese system. I will say the stock sport setup is actually very nice for OEM (tokico)design, the front shock travel is very aggressive and the rear spring is oval type which provides comfort and strength at the same time. However, this will also make the road feel inconsistent for those that are serious track goers. We have changed it the straight design which does give car a much planted feel especailly in high speed cornering. Btw, i do have 4was since its what's only offered in taiwan.

We are now in the process of making big brake kits and a real nice exhaust system. Will keep u guys posted. If any of you are interested, let me know.

will try to upload more pics, for some reason cardomain wont let me upload anymore.we are also coming out with a another coilover setup and see how it works before mass production. Will keep u guys updated.

i didnt realize the side markers difference cause i thought we had the U.S spec. I think the car looks great either way.

Thanks for all the comments guys. The wheel is exactly the same but when you drop it, it does make it look small... thats why i got a set of ADVAN RS coming very soon. ^^
