I will be putting the BC coils on my car very soon, and I just wanted to know if there is anything different or tricky with putting BC coils on a G37.

The person doing the install has put coils and springs on tons of cars, I know he knows what he is doing, but I just wanted to know if there was anything to watch out for when installing them.

I'm sure a few people on here have done the install and can give me some tips.

Thanks,

Tom

 

PM IP37... I think he installed his himself.

 

Dont put the rear spring upside down. I can tell you that much.

 

Okay Thanks I will shoot him a PM

You mean this isnt the right way (pic stolen from blackjack)

 

it's very easy.

only piece of advice is to take your time getting the toe bolts out, make sure you torque everything down nicely.

 

you know the torque specs on the bolts?

i just tightened the crap out of all of mine really

 

Thanks for the PM.

Torque specs would be great, post them if you have them.

Also anyone have imput on camber kit install, sorry for all of these questions.

 

camber kit install was pretty easy too

i used stillen's toe / camber kits and followed their instructions

 

I got the eibach camber kit, from what I'm told its the same as th spc.

I guess I will follow the instructions, I'm just worried about driving with the wrong camber on my car, don't need any help speeding the wear on these soft tires.

 

the torque settings are in the service manual. too busy to look them up..

 

you remember if it was in the suspension part? i didn't see them

edit.. i think its in the pictures

yep, all the torque specs are in the diagrams. i never noticed that lol

 

haha. Yep they're there. But I didn't have a tq wrench handy, so like you, I just tightened the ever loving shtuff out of them.

 

Quick question, should I expect the car to drop 1/2 inch in the front and back?

Trying to decide how low to leave it?

 

as shipped, you car will drop more like 1.5" or more. when you take off the front and rear struts, raise the BC's either to match or drop it just a bit. the measurements won't be excact, but you won't be slammed.

 

Sorry, I didnt explain my question.

What I meant was; will the car settle a half inch after the height is set, and should I expect this and make it a half inch higher than I want it to be, because it will settle?
