Autocross and an LS swapped G37 coupe

I (mostly) finished up the LS/T56 swap in my 2008 G37 base coupe.

Can anyone suggest a coilover? I plan to run mostly autocross with the car. Street driving will be limited, mostly to local cars and coffee meets.

Any vendors you guys suggest I talk to? Hopefully there are some decent black friday deals, as this project has done a good job of lightening my wallet.

LS swap and no pics? For shame! Haha!

How much more does the LS weigh over the VQ? I would think quite a bit, thus you'd probably need some custom damping and springs on the front. If you're going to autocross the car, I'd say don't cheap out on the coils. Go with a reputable brand that offers full customizability.

If no one here can help you figure out the values, maybe someplace like z1 or CZP could offer more wisdom.

I'll post pics next week. I need to upload the pics I have and take some more.

The swap is very close in weight to what I pulled out. I wish I had scales so i could have done a 1:1 comparison but I'd bet I'm within 50lbs of my previous weight.

I come from the GM world, where the aftermarket for suspension is vast so you have companies like UMI Performance who race what they build and can tell you exactly what works.
