Guy's hope this helps. Remember this is my first go around with coilovers, if it sounds like I screwed something up please feel free to comment. This info is after a lot of trial and error. I drove about 3 miles after each adjustment and let it settle several nights throughout the process. Finally, a round trip of about 150 miles to the dealer for a muffler. Seems settled in but will see. Front, matched lenght of struts to the stock struts, no spring adjustment, shortened bottom adjustment 13 full turns= 1 7/8" drop (hard to hook up sway bar on driver's side) but looked good with the stock wheels! Lenghtened front struts 71/2 turns=1" drop. Stock was 28" now 27" Rear matched struts to stock struts. Made all adjustments with rear springs. Broke torque on lock rings rolled them up 9/16"=1.4" drop. Rolled the lock rings down till they where flush with the bottom of the adjustable portion = 1/2" drop. Rear is now at 27" Stock is 27.5" Got my new wheels and tires on so went with 1/2" drop in back for now. Hopefully, one of the experts who wants you to buy their BC coilovers will do a better post
Hey Charles, sorry again about the delay, I explained a little in my original thread. But it seems you did everything right. Coilovers are user preference. Your trial and error was perfect, and its the best way to find out what you're most comfortable with. No one else can tell you how to set up the car you drive everyday. At least I wouldn't. You did all your measurements, and made sure everything was level. Sounds like a good set up. Now go get that camera and take some pictures of that bad boy. And you have our number, you can call us anytime if you have any questions buddy. We havent had much time this past week for the forums getting ready for Road Atlanta. But im back in full effect. Sorry again about being away for so long.
its ok BlackGuy....I have been PMing and on the phone with Chucky helpin him out.... I gotcha back....

Guys got some great pic's but can't seem to post them. I compressed the files and thought that would get me in, but managing attachments accepted the files as not compressed. I know I'm screwing something up but don't know what. BTW the wheels look "GREAT" If anyone can help me out of the dark on this PM me please. Thanks
Hey guys, I have a Pearl White '08 G37s and I want to lower it. So far, I've been told told that installing H&R lowering springs is the only way to do it. Do you know if there are any coilover kits available for g37? Thank you for all your advice.

I want to drop the front some more but don't want to go to far b/c of alignment concerns. I've got the camber kits for the back and think I'll drop it another 1/2 to 3/4 of an inich. I'm wondering if anyone has the GT 30's and how much of a drop in the front will the factory set up take and still manage an alignment? Here's another pic of the stock chrome rims with the 1 7/8" front drop . I think it looks pretty good but I'm TOG! (the old guy)
