What are the best coilovers and why?
Guys, I need your opinion on who makes the best coilovers and why you think they are the best. I have never upgraded my suspension on my car and I plan to get the best or one of the best suspensions for my G37 when some options come out. I have emailed a lot of companies who have said they have coilovers coming out soon and some that say they will not develop a kit for the G37. Please put down your choose(s) and why. Also, put down experiences with redoing (not the right word I know) the springs when they wear down. I hear some companies charge a lot to do this and take a while to get it done. The shop I go to gives high prays to Tein and say they have a good turn around time and to cost to redo the springs is not bad. I am making a multi vote poll on this as well with the coilovers I know that are available or will be available. If I missed any then put that in your post and I will get it added. DiamondGCoupe and CrazyRuskie, if you see these post with additions please add them to the poll. I know this should help a lot of people on the forum.
I guess I should put down that this would be for both track and daily drive use if possible. Mainly track but not something so harsh that it would kill the daily commute to work. I hear you can get coilovers that are great for track use and they are a decent ride to work as well.

Well everybody has a different opinon on what coilovers are the best... But do you plan on ever tracking your car???? If you do want to do occassional tracking you can't go wrong with what's currently available... The JIC MAGIC and the KW VARIANT 3 coils are top quality all the way.... If your just gonna cruise your car and not do any tracking.. Then there are cheaper alternatives.. The BC RACING and the Megan coils are about $1200 cheaper then the JIC MAGIC or the KW ones... But they will not hold up on the track as well as the JIC MAGIC or the KW coils.. Because the JIC MAGIC and the KW are designed and tested around hardcore track use.. So If your asking my opinion I would go with the JIC MAGIC or the KW VARIANT 3 coils.... You can't go wrong with either one REALLY......

Top secret b/c they cost the most?
Seriously I don't know. I never understood, for a regular street car, how there can be a dramatic difference between a $1500 set of coilovers and a $3000 set of coilovers.

I voted for BC coilovers.
I know people have had problems with them on the forums, but as or right now they are the most common, so they are obv going to have the most problems.
To me they were the best bang for the buck, I wasnt about to spend 2,300$ on a set of coilovers.

Now just so everyone knows, please don't bash other coilover companies. No one has done this yet but I just would like this thread to have positive opinions and facts on coilovers that people have used or like.
Get facts to note would be cost to maintain, adjust-ability, and special features only seen on this companies coilovers or rare to coilovers such as electronic adjustment that Tein coilovers can do, etc. I have heard pros and cons for a few of these from people and the more info in this thread on why someone should choose this coilover will help me and a lot of other people.

The car handles great, its not bouncy like my G35 was with tein springs.
I have the front set on 26, and the rear set on 18 (highest setting is 30) and the car rides great. I'm going to adjust the rear and make it higher once I put the trunk mounted adjustment ***** in.
Overall I'm very happy with them, and I don't have the infamous rattle noise that people complain of, but I have only put about 100 miles on them.
