For sure!!!

Got my SPC front and back camber kits a few days ago. Waiting on the Fortune 500 coil overs to come in to get this installed. So anxious is not even the word. Can't wait to see the new coil overs.

So after everything is said and done I'm very satisfied with the coilover setup. I really like the feel of the car now. Tires are a little noisy but really like the look of it. I just wanted to thank everyone that helped me out on this whole process. I've never lowered a car on my own before this one and with all the research and patience, I was able to do the install all on my own.

It's great that you took the time to do your homework, ask the questions and end up with a G you can be proud of, nice work all around i must say

Now you can be one to share your knowledge w/ those needing it, especially that aggressive square setup, not the easiest thing to pull off.

Thanks blnewt. I have to give credit to tbulsara for helping me out too. I think with everything from start to finish what I calculated was about $4329.20. Lowering and doing it right is not cheap, but the finished look is priceless.

Wait what? I believe you went with the fortune 500 coilovers right? So, camber kit costs around $600, and coilovers around $1200?. Where did you spend the rest of the money? I'm actually asking this because I myself am thinking whether I should get the fortune 500 coilovers.

I think that's the whole setup w/ wheels & tires too, unless somebody really charges a lot for the install.

don't forget alignment too

MylilG

Yes. That was from square one to finish. So to list everything is a bit. But alignment, coilovers with swift spring upgrade, camber kit, wheels, tires, tpms sensors, lugnuts, custom infiniti symbol center caps and little odds and ends. That's what I calculated.

I'm not trying to be bias but I think the fortune 500's are great. Only thing I noticed is they are pretty low topped out. I have mine almost all the way up and the car sits lower than normal but to my liking. Then again I'm running an aggressive wheel setup so I can't go much lower without having to go negative camber or risk hitting the fender.

I did the install myself so I guess it would've been a little more if I did go that route. The most work I had was with the alignment. I purchased a lifetime alignment with Firestone. Problem was that the 4 different firestones I went to couldn't align the front because they weren't able to adjust the camber nut. Hard to get to and 125 ft. Lbs.(Sounds to me like they just didn't want to have to do more work to take the wheels off/ being lazy). So after going to see where the alignment sat, I'd go home and take everything off, adjust the camber nut and then take it back until I got it right. I'm pretty sure there was an easier way but I like tinkering and knowing my car inside and out.

If you're just lowering though, the camber kit, the coilovers and the alignment would be all you need.

Good luck with your decision.

Nice to hear the positive feedback for the Fortune coils, seems like they would be the best option for lowering an AWD.

My coilovers are also quite low at the highest setting in the back. I'm at zero gap and I only have 1/4" higher that I could safely set the rear spring collar.
Just inherent in the design I suppose, BC shipped theirs w/ longer rear springs to aid the situation and KW sells rear extenders, but that voids their warranty.

Total noob question here...but is it difficult to raise/lower the suspension with the coilovers? The reason I ask is that I live in the equivalent of Siberia (Saskatoon, Canada) and will definately need to raise up for winter and our lack of snow removal.

its not hard if you maintain your coils (wash it once in a while) I ve had my coils for over 4 years now and I can still adjust them as I need with nothing more than the spanner wrenches that were supplied. maybe a little PB blaster is needed from time to time but just be sure to rinse them off once in a while to prevent them from seizing.

I ve driven through heavy snow, rain, dirt roads you name it

a little anti seize never hurt either but I don't use it

If you have the OEM type coils w/ the separate rear springs you just have to make sure you keep the same preload on the shocks when you raise or lower. Just need to mark the exact amount of lift/lower on the spring perch and do the same to your shock sleeve.

I am seriously considering the Fortune 500 coils. You went with SPC camber kit? Where did you purchase the camber kit from? Are you running negative camber? What size wheels are you running?
