09-11 Infiniti G37 Sedan V36 TEIN Basic Damper Coilover Kit G37 Infiniti Suspension - Coilovers Dash Z Racing. Only downside is no damper adjustment.

Unfortantly u can ask and listen to everyones advise but in the end it has to be ur decision. U have to decide what you can live with spending and what quality product you can live with. I can tell you I have been driving around on a lot of system and most recently put the teins on and couldn't be happier. But whos to say if u put the tanabes or stance on my car I wouldnt be just as happy. Its a lot of money and there are no returns. So go with ur gut.

I ended up going with the KW V1's. I actually pulled the trigger on Stance but the seller ended up pulling the plug on the deal. If I had to choose only between Stance and Tanabe, I'd go Tanabe. Mainly due to the fact that I do not track or need to adjust the dampening settings. I feel once it is locked in, I'll never touch it again. The Stance also has a very stiff spring rate so I worry about the comfort, but if you want to go slammed, these are the coils for you. Tanabes are better if it's just daily driving in my opinion.

Maybe **** wasn't the right word. It's honestly was not that bad, it just got worse over time. Where I live, the roads are really wavy and cracked so it felt like the car wasn't able to keep up with the rebounds. And I felt floaty whenever I am on the 10 west, 4th/3rd lane past 75mph, it feels floaty and not well grounded. That is partly why I upgraded to coils. I have a friend with swift springs however, and I have to say his ride is noticeably better than the eibach. But then again, swift cost more. But don't worry about rattles and stiffness, those are not a problem. Eibachs are good for the value.

Just my 2 cents but I have stance coils and I love them.... As of stance coilover problems if I read the right one it was talking about having wheel gap?? lol first drop when i put them on right out of the box my mufflers about hit the ground..... You can go ridiculously low with these. Only thing I noticed was they make a bit of a squealing noise at low speed which is a lil irritating. Overall I feel as long as your happy with what you get thats all that matters!

Just found this thread... I am pretty much set on getting the Tanabe coilovers myself. Why did you ultimately choose KWv1 when you were previously trying to decide between Tanabe and Stance? Thanks.

I Ended up Going Stance myself after months of looking online yet listening to the guys here. Its a rough decision though agree its your car... we all have different taste on how we enjoy the road... I myself enjoy feeling it vs some like the Coosh Coosh soft ride... its a Coupe... yet a nice Sport one as well... get into a Vette and its not that smooth... 370z the same but still its how you want to feel the road... I ended up getting the Stance True Coilovers so ill know more today since they are supposed to be delivered. Then this weekend pop them on and Drop it like someone stole it..
Coming from Swift yet Tien I'm looking forward to this!

Question KWv1 vs Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C

So I was pretty much set on the Tanabe coilovers... but now I'm wondering if KWv1 is the way to go over Tanabe... I still have the same requirements as before - DD comfort, slightly stiffer than OEM, removed wheel gap, no need for adjustable damping. I've read that the KWv1 are comparable in ride quality to the Tanabe, maybe a little stiffer? I'm just wondering if the KWv1 will be more reliable than the Tanabes in the long run... so maybe that justifies the extra cost. But what's up with having to spec out the part for the 370Z? They don't explicitly say the part is compatible with the G37.

I have tanabe and I would probably go stance if I had to do it all over again. Tanabe's aren't bad, but a little rough on back roads. Would like the true coilover design of the stance coils and the adjust ability.

Well I finally got the Stance SS's on and its like Night and Day coming from Springs...

Rides like a Rail... yet having tru coilivers are just that... Sweet... turns fast no roll... not Squishy and soft though I have my dampener set at 10 which is Stiff but still great! Best so far... no squeaks ... yet the Camber is nice... barely any poke on my 10.5 on all corners...
