Your X is coming along very nicely, I was back and forth on the D2 coilovers but couldn't find enough info on the G37 application to feel confident in pulling the trigger so I went with the Eibach pro-kit drop instead. I'm still crossing my fingers that at some point KW releases an X application for the V3's but if they don't I might end up switching to the D2's later down the line.

Could you provide a brief review of what you think of the coilovers?
- ease of adjustability
- ride comfort compared to stock
- craftsmanship / quality
- any out of the ordinary noises, etc..

Sure:
- ease of adjustability (front is very easy; rear impossible without taking out whole thing or cutting holes in trunk area)
- ride comfort compared to stock (at first is seemed very hard, but I did not touch any settings and after a few hundred miles it seem softer; I'm pretty low though)
- craftsmanship / quality (quality seems very good, but never owned coilovers before; front has no hook ups for break/VFD lines, so you just tie them. not sure how others work)
- any out of the ordinary noises (no problems at all, but was unable to drop rear below 26" on 1 side; but it looks fine at 26 so I left it)

Hope this helps

that is very helpful thanks, looks like D2 will likely be my choice later down the line once I'm ready to go all out, likely once I decide on which 3 piece wheel I want to run

switch out the ugly yellow interior and license plate lighting for some pure white leds gives it a nice clean look without the cheesey yellow

-Uprev(awaiting all installs)
-D2 racing coilovers(done)
-Bumper (IPL done)
-Maybe sway bars?(decided not to)
-Forged lightweight rims(gt30 done)

Any other ideas are appreciated. What ya think?

Bump for those last two ?s
Plus where did you buy the coilovers? Price? If the rear is 26" what is the front?
Thx

Wanna sell the wheels?

I have a 2013 g37x coupe. Was the fitting/install for the D2 racing coilovers "plug and play" or a tough install? Were you able to order them with spring rates customized, or no choice on the rates? The D-IN-10-RS model is getting reasonably priced.

When you bought the IPL bumper (assuming dealer Aero Components part), did they force that license plate housing on you, or did you want that done? I think Stillen makes a part so you can install front plates sans housing.
