You can get them from most the vendors on here. You can also PM SFLG35 (Dan) he is a distributor too. He is rarely on here so you may want to hit him up on Driver.

Agreed... KWs are where it is at. The BC's are a waste of money IMO.

BCs have had many problems on the G37 unlike the G35 versions. Nearly every BC person has had rattling problems and haven't seen much an improvement.

While the KWs are costly, I speak from experience that they are quality coilovers, no rattling, provide a significant improvement in handling, and comfort is not compromised.

KW or JIC is the way to go. You get what you pay for.

^^I think the number was more like 10-20% that had issues, which is still really high but the issue has since been corrected.

as BJ said... KW is by far superior... I have had both... BCs rattled like crazy... they did make a fix that fixed some of the rattles...

BCs gave me adjustablity with better handleing, and a decent ride(minus the klunks).... and KWs gave me adjustability, Superior Handleing, and an excellent ride.

But if you think about it... for 700 or so more dollars you can get the top coilover suspension set for the g37. and KW is extremely high quality.

If price is an issue you might want to check out the new tanabe's. Those look promising.

Whoa, I also understood it was about 10 or 20 percent that had rattling problems. Where do you get such a high number from?? (To me, "nearly" would mean 90% or more.)

LOL.. You are correct. Its only a small fraction. Nearly does imply a high number. I bought the BC'c used and Pete really took care of me. The BC's are good coils for the money. Not everyone needs a high end, external gas charged, track designed coilover. IMO the are WWWAAAYYY over kill, but some like to brag about how much they spent.

I like to laugh when I know what I spent and have a product thats alomst indistinguistable for the driving style most G drivers do. How many G37 owners REALLY need a true track coilover? My guess... you probably could count them on your left hand.
