Red....cars looking sweet my friend, but after reading the last few post looks like you will need camber kits (front & rear). This is what I've found: GTMonsters had the best price for the SPC Front Camber Arms while Z1 Motorsports had the best price for the rear........but here's the kicker....NO ONE makes a rear camber kit for the vert! Installing the toe bolt will help but the actual camber arm is not compatible due to not having a bracket for the struct to connect to. You can do a custom build similar to what anothe forum member has done (I think it's under "lowering the vert thread".

About the CO's...be careful what you purchase. AFAIK there is only (1) that will work with our verts (BC Racing V-12's). I contacted BC directly for the best price and spring configuration.

All in all...prices quoted for SPC cambers (front & rear) and BC CO's were approx $1500. This does not include installation....I had planned on doing my own.

If you can trying contacting cereal2K on here...he's got a sweet lil red vert and some great insight on lowering it.

Hope the info helps....Good Luck!

KSport has a vert specific set of COs now, these are a true coilover setup rather than the separate spring/shock OEM rear configuration.
Ksport Kontrol Pro Damper System; Camber Plates Not Included INFINITI G37
Cereal 2k was able to get his lowered G in spec w/ the rear camber bolt, rear toe bolt setup, should have enough adjustment range if you're not dropped over 2".
BTW Coy where you been??

Glad to know someone else finally made a set of CO's...I'll def have to look into these as well. As for Cereal2k..yeah that's the info I got as well but being I have access to Engineering, machining, and fabrication facilities I plan to build a set of custom rear camber arms.

I work in the Oil & Gas Industry and with prices in the dumps right now my car fund has been put on hold (yet again...first the new house now this) so to prevent any temptations (or torture on myself) I've opted to not visit the forum much!!! It's like taking a kid to a candy store and telling them they can't have anything!!! lol

I agree. Great price. I'm holding off till I've bought my Ecuteck tune before I mess with the "saggy bum."

Thanks guys for your help and suggestions I truly appreciate it.

And the compliments.

Ugh I'm jelly, I want an ecutek tune so fricking bad. The go to guy for our dfw g "club" only has a Subaru license, for frs and brz. He would need 3 more people to buy a tune, but **** majority in the club are, we'll just say ballin on a budget. *roll eyes* need to find a different shop I guess.

Sent you a PM, and the suspension folder is the place to look.

While we are on the subject of suspension, what do you guys feel about OEM IPL springs (assuming they are different from stock base and G37S springs) combined with KONI shocks ? Will it lower the car a tad bit without requiring camber arms ?

You going to go to Visconti? I just loaded my new ROM files.... Car is faster, louder and might even be better on fuel. If my foot would come out of it I could tell you. Need to datalog again though.

You going to Nashville on Saturday?

I imagine I'll go thru the same Viscontii guy that RexHavok went with. It's all done online & over the phone I'm told, so you could go with it if you wanted. Ballin on a budget is what we are all doin tho. Otherwise we'd all have a GTR...drool. I like the look of the 37 better but I'll admit to never seeing one in person yet.

Man Chris I don't think I'll be doing any road trips till after Christmas. These last few months of the year are when all my families birthdays fall on. I can't pay my stocks and my car ever month. But anytime in January I'll be good to go.

Just curious when are you going to Nashxille

I was gong to go to the Nismo meet in Nashville tonight but I probably won't. My mirrors aren't done and it was a rough week.
