Just picked up my Sedan, Now coilover time..?

Just got a 2011 G37S sedan and want to do coils.
Thinking about BC ER series or BR series or stance coilovers at the moment

My goal is to stance the car so i do want something that will go low yet has adjustability

I also would like to know what companies make a "True" coilover system that goes low (tuck factory wheels maybe?)

Could someone help me and post some help, either with a better coilover system to do so, or if you are running any of these post up some pictures and experience with them.

As a heads up, my previous car was a VW R32 which i ran dumped on Ksports version RR coils, and previous to that i had a Chrysler 300c SRT8 on KW V2 at max low.

so im not too sure on which coils are good in the JDM market

Thanks again,

and yes i know there is a "SEARCH" button and i have used it, but it didnt answer any of my questions

Welcome Aboard Mr.! Congrats on your G. There are a select few of us here that are on Stance GR+. Me personally, I love them and have no issues with them. Then again I don't have experience with any other coils to compare them to.

Thanks JJ! By chance could you post up a picture of your car for me?
would love to see how it sits on the Stance GR+!

JJ, What size wheels are those, and how much lower are you able to drop the coils down?

F: 20x9, +32, 245/35/20
R: 20x10.5, +39, 275/30/20

Right now my ride height is at 26 1/4 inches all around and can go probably at least another inch lower. For me, it's good where it's at. I don't want to sacrifice ride-ability for looks. There are guys here that sit at 25 1/2.

Id seen some pictures of that car which is what made me want to find those but no such luck in finding them anywhere!

what companies make a TRUE coilover for our cars? and one that will go extremely low?

i saw this over on the 350Z forum (i know wont git the G37)
MY350Z.COM Forums - View Single Post - ACTUAL 350z coilovers! - pic thread!

has anyone heard of this company doing anything that will fit the G37?

im not too sure about TRUE coilovers, but if you want to be slammed, i heard that stance goes the lowest, or you should look into getting bags, if you care more about looks then performance!

Im anti bags lol, not fond of the drive one height and park lower

ive heard good things about Stance coilovers and that they along with Ksport offer a TRUE coilover setup

i looked up on Stance's website and it doesnt show they have a setup for the G37, just shows for the 370Z... would that be the same? even if i have a sedan?

Ive looked into the Tein as well, but they dont seem to go that low and dont have as much adjustability to them
