Long Time coming (New guy from Fl)

Hey guys, Ive secretly been a member of this forum a month before even owning my G. I was 100% sure that a 37 was what i wanted and I was convinced to get it how i wanted it.

I owned a 95 Integra and was a part of that forum for a while before handing it off to my lil bro as his first car (thats what brothers are for). Before this happened I grabbed a R6 (crotch rocket for those unfamiliar) for my 27th bday. Well two bikes, two accidents, and two years later, Wifey says i cant rebuild my bike until I get a car. I figured what better else than my dream car. Ever since i saw the 35 i fell in love! Then the 37 came out and I said I would def own one one day. Well I was hell bent on finding a 37S coupe black/white MT. After mooooonths of searching I finally found her. 2012 G37S Coupe 6 MT



Completely satisfied

Welcome to the forum Fuegz amd congratulations on the new G! And pictures of the Integra? That's a main reason as to why I never bought a bike just never trusted myself enough to ride one I gues but I'm glad you're okay. Beautiful car man enjoy her! And plans on future mods?

Nice intro! Hope those Cycle accidents weren't severe. Looks like a nice coupe you found, look forward to your plans for it.

Yeah man it comes with the territory for sure. Next time im on i'll be a lot more geared for sure. 4 wheels move the body 2 wheels move the soul, lol.

I want to work on wheels and a drop for her first...I've dealt with coils before (Function and Form 2) but I want to know what the "bagging" craze is about.

Would I be wrong for guessing most are doing coils?

Most start w/ lowering springs on OEM shocks, then go to coils. Tein makes some decent basic coils for about $500 w/ no damping adjusters and about $800 w/ adjusters. IMO they are better than most of the Taiwan-sourced sets that start at about $800. The KWv1 is a great setup w/out adjusters, and the KWv3 w/ adjusters would be a nice choice if you can allow $1500-2200. You'll also want some camber arms & rear toe bolts if you go coils, and that adds another $500 to the kitty.

As far as wheels, check the last few pages here, VenomGT is a wheel-sniffing badger that finds killer deals on quality shoes.

Thanks much! Really appreciate the info. I'll be sure to check that link you said. I wanted to research how much different the bagged setup would be and if its crazy different from coild then i'd probably just coil until I felt I had change t spare for that.

s/n I have to grab a new license plate frame asap and toss my "Lipton Toyota", lol

Yeah, the bagged Gs are pretty nice, especially having the ability to just slam it to the ground so no one can f with it. The ride on bags is really good from all I've read but haven't been in one to confirm. Count on spending upwards of $3k for a full setup w/ compressor. You should be able to find some quality wheels & coilovers for about that price, especially if you let VenomGT hook you up
