Hey, my name's Matt and I'm the Director of Marketing and Media at Ksport USA. I found this thread because of something called Google Alerts, and thought I'd try to help out with your issue. Mods/Admins- I'm not here to sell anything which is why I didn't sign up as a vendor. I'm on a lot of forums, simply to help out with Ksport products and general suspension/braking questions.
Did you install the coilovers or did you have someone do it? I'm not doubting your skill, but I like to start of by making sure that whoever installed the product is the one I'm talking to. 9 out of 10 times when people are having ride quality issues with our coilovers, it's due to installation problems.
I'm thinking that your ride height isn't set properly. A lot of people who are used to old school or lower-end coilovers will adjust ride height by sagging the spring. This limits the shocks travel, and not only damages the internals of the shock absorber but also causes a nasty ride. Ksport coilovers should be lowered via the adjustable lower mount. The springs should be snug, with no pre-load but no sag. With the wheel off the ground, you should be able to grab the spring and twist it around the shock body, but it shouldn't rattle or move up/down. There should be a set of numbers printed on your spring. The 3 digit number after the dash is the springs free-length. I believe on the G37 it should say 180. If you have a way to measure them, do so and make sure that your measurement matches that number (it's in millimeters).
Let me know what you find out. I'd like to help you figure out why your car is riding rough.
