So I have plans on getting my car lowered on coilovers and getting a bodykit...
I talked to my dads friend who has had some experience with bodykits and he said that unless they are from the manufacturer they never fit right. Is this true? Are they hard to fit?

Also what coils should I get? I'm looking to spend about 800-900. Also who knows what install is on coils?

And if anyone has a good sight that sells cheap wheel/tire packages don't hesitate to let me know

 

Cheap knockoffs never fit right. High quality parts fit very well. Most out there that people have experience with are cheap knockoffs so many tend to think thry all fit poorly and have poor finish.

I'd suggest saving a little more for coilovers and getting better ones than you can get for $900. For about $1500 you can buy some worth putting on your car. Installation labor varies from one place to the next - $200-$300 is fair.

 

Thanks buddy, the Tanebe coils are bad? Tanabe Sustec Pro S-0C Coilover Kits Infiniti G37 2005-2009 TSC130

 

I would recommend sticking with the likes of KW, Bilstein, etc. KW V1s can be had for around the $1,500 ballpark or under $1,000 on the second-hand market. On my last car, I had a set of ebay coilovers (along the lines of Ksports) and swapped them for KW V2s and I've now sworn off cheap coils. But if you're just looking for the lowered look without caring too much about ride quality/track performance, then any decent coilover would work.

If you get a body kit, make sure it's high quality and if you can, it would be great to do a test fit. A little work might be required to get it to fit pretty flush but otherwise it should be ok.

Note that if you lower your car, you'll want to pick up a set of front and rear camber kits which will run you close to $600 and you'll also need an alignment. Lowering this car is expensive when adding everything up hence why I've avoided it.

 

I have them. I can't recommend them to anyone. I haven't personally had problems with mine, but numerous people on the forum have had issues and warranty claims are always denied. I installed several sets. 2 went bad and Tanabe wouldn't cover them. I wouldn't buy them again or recommend them to anyone. I'll sell mine one day and replace them with something better and not patronize their products in the future.

 

I'm not looking to fully slam it just an inch or two to give it a low profile. I might go for a rear camber kit/wheel spacers to avoid scraping and to give it a better stance

 

If you don't want to fully slam it then just get the Eibach Springs. It lowered mine just right and didn't really sacrifice the ride quality that much. It tucked the factory 19's up in wheel well really nice. I get compliments all the time even from the dealer LOL

Oh and most body kits will need to be worked in order to make them look good. That is why the body shop charges so much because they have to work extra to make it look factory. At least a good body shop would do that. Otherwise they will start to crack after a few years and look like crap then

 

I just installed the Tanabe coilovers on mine a couple of weeks ago and, so far, I'm loving them. I have them set fairly low and think they are quite comfortable. I am a little weary of their customer service, as several forum members have reported bad experiences. I have not had to deal with them directly yet and hope I never have to.

 

I have had the Tanabe for a couple years and love them.
Eibach is not low enough

 

Not low enough for you, clearly. The OP, however, is looking for a minimal drop. Based on what Eibach springs deliver, it will likely be a good match for him.

As others stated- "body kits" will pretty much always require some customization when installing. If you must get one, be sure to get it painted and fitted properly from a shop that is proven.

 

If you want Coilvers go with KWv1. It's best for the money for about $1200 if you can find someone willing to sale you them at that price.

I had them on my 2011 and loved them. My current setup is SWIFT Sport Springs on 2013 IPL and I love love the ride and feel. Ride height is perfect and the car feels smooth and firm at the same time. The SWIFT springs are designed to be the best for OEM replacements. If you want to go this route you are looking at about $350 for the springs and about $800 for OEM sport shocks.

1.3 INCH FRONT, 10 KG SPRING RATE
1.0 INCH REAR, 10.25 KG SPRING RATE

 

stance ss are good buy 1200

 

My G37 is a sport so I already have the OEM sport shocks. So I wouldn't need to worry about that. I'm looking for my car to be this low
Just ordered my Megan Racing Exhaust too

 

Do you have any pictures with them installed?

 

Have you considered Tein S Techs?
