Is there another suspension mod worth doing while i'm installing coilovers? I was looking at the front/rear camber arms as an option.

Thoughts?

 

sway bars if you haven't already done those.

 

SPC front and rear camber kit + Hotchkis front and rear sway bars for sure.

 

How helpful and worthwhile was that mod for you? Just looking for your opinion as far as why

 

Sway bars show all the difference in the world. They make the car handle much better than without. Kind if like it's glued to the road but in a good way.

 

besides having coilovers for the aesthetic appeal of being lowered but more importantly to improve overall handling, the hotchkis sway bars are (IMO) in the top 3 modifications for the G (or really any vehicle).

Having sway bars, like kenny said above, eliminates a lot of 'float/roll' movement on turns whilst providing a tighter/more in control feel of the car. This may sound dumb but I felt when I want to turn right/left the car REALLY does turn RIGHT/LEFT.

Better handling of car, enjoyable to drive, and personally I think it could be considered a SAFETY upgrade. Why, because when you're driving down the interstate and a blown tire comes out of nowhere...guess what...you weave out of the way 'quicker/easier/direct side to side' vs slow roll.

I want to secretly put sway bars on my gfs toyota camry ...OMG driving that car is like sitting 20 ft in the air on clouds and dodging a stick in the road feels like im floating into space lol.

 

Front camber arms no doubt. Just installed front arms and wow my car is no less than -3 front camber maybe more. I do not have a kit but def need it. I do have rear arms but no toe bolts as i dont want to drill the subframe. Ill hope the alignment shop can get close

 

Yeah its all been said. Absolutely get front and rear camber arms and if you can swing it, sway bars with adjustable end links.. Your suspension will all but be completed minus maybe strut bars if you really want it all.

 

Just noticed you're in the ATL area....ironically I was on the Z1 site looking at their hotchkis sway bars to buy yesterday.....not sure your time frame of purchasing the suspension parts but if I pull the trigger sooner rather than later to get my new G with sway bars (no current suspension mods) I will be glad to try to meet in ATL so you can drive my G and feel the difference.

 

The forum needs more people like you Gville! Much respect man!

 

That's awesome! There's a local black IPL on air here somewhere, I wanna feel what it rides like but I guess that would be weird to pull up at Wendys and ask for a ride lol..

 

I've been wanting to test drive a G coupe on bags for so long ... I wish!

 

If your coil-overs have a decent spring rate increase, you should hold off installing sway bars until you can feel the amount of roll you have. Sway bars are most useful on soft suspensions. Stock G owners benefit the most. Also, they're easy to add if you decide you want more roll resistance after installing the coil-overs.

You'll want adjustable front upper control arm, a rear camber arm and most likely a rear toe arm. If you avoid dropping more than an inch you can probably get away without the additional arms.

 

Thanks for the advice guys!

What front camber arms would yall recommend?

Going to look over everything

 

Dunno if I wanna throw 800 at a front upper control arm right now. I'm really interested in doing the sway bars at the same time, but you're saying hold off. Might just do camber arms and the coilovers this time around.
