That is true. Or they are made to fit the coupe instead but never the sedan . Luckily, we use the same suspension components .

I'll check out that thread again, I was looking at it earlier in the week . Like for BC, at first I thought they were good until I heard a bunch of people having negative reviews on them . Even for the street basis Z, being a 500$ CO, not that many people complain about them. And when they do, it always backfires with the fact that it's half a grand. But I also read that the rears don't drop that much.

I guess more research it is.

I shouldn't of spent like 3gs on my exhausts ;( I could've had more money for my suspension haha
The Basis will do that. I was at 26.5 but raised it to 26.75.

That looks nice. That is exactly what I am aiming for. How is the ride quality? Also, these are the product ID: GSP92-8UAS2 (https://thmotorsports.com/10455475-tein-gsp92-8uas2)
Tein street basis Z coilovers, correct? Price : $484.96

I found these but I'm not sure what the difference is, I'm assuming this one was the older model as it says discontinued? Product ID: Gsp92-1uas2 (https://thmotorsports.com/5244665-te...s-street-basis) Price: $603.21

We are talking about the GSP92-8UAS2 priced at $484.96, correct?

Overall, nice looking G though

Correct, GSP92-8UAS2.

The ride is very good, almost OEM-like. My only complaint is that the springs are a little on the soft side (this is probably why they ride so well). It'll help a bit if you get sway bars as well.

I actually read your review, it was very informative . I've never heard of meisterR until you actually, but they look like quality parts.

Im running some sways so that's good . And that's great news about the ride quality. I also read alot about the ride being a little on the soft side. Last question, what SPC parts are you running ? I was going to run just the SPC Rear Camber Arm (Part ID: 72260) but not the fronts .

They drop looks nice to me, so I might just go with the Basis Z . I plan to sell the G within the next few years anyways .

I went with SPC F&R. If I were to do it again, I would get a different FUCA.

The SPC FUCA adds a bit to the height *edit* height of the control arm, not ride height */edit* because of the camber adjuster is on top of the ball joint.




To do it again, I would choose one that does not add to the height like the one pictured below or SPL (expensive).

Might just need new snap clips, without them it sags pretty low. And you can get them for dirt cheap

Mine's been through hell and is still doing pretty good, but others swear by those TBW type aluminum pans.

I was dragging a coffee cup for a little bit got scared it was my bumper haha. Let me run outside and get a pic if it's not too dark not sure if it's repairable.

Edit: here's a few pics




It seems it's catching on anything it can

That won't last much longer like that. Time to upgrade to an aluminum one.

Today I got a broken cup holder and pulled 2 bad LEDs (city and license)

On the positive, ordered plugs since we are about to turn 100K.
