In the market for coilovers

My current options are Stance GR+ & BC. Are there any better setups under $1300 or in that range? I would rather true coilover setups, but if there's none, I guess I'll stick with OEM type setups... Also, do any come with front camber plates? Or do I NEED to get a front camber kit as well as the rear? Please help... My new G37 is coming in a few days & I want to get a good stance ASAP so I can move on to getting some wheels for it. Thanks!

I don't have an X... It's an S sedan. I kinda want to get the right set without modification. Thanks though!

Or save a little more money and get KW3's, a huge difference over the BC's. I got a package deal from a vendor here THM and the KW3's plus front and rear SPC camber kits with shipping wasn't a whole lot more than your looking to spend.

If you don't go too low you can get aways without the camber kits, find some G's like yours with the stance you like and see what they're running.

Yeah I'm not looking to slam the car... Just drop it nicely on some 20's. If I could get away with no camber kit, I could spend the extra cash on a better coilover. I wonder how much you'd have to drop it before the camber starts going negative?

allando, "I wonder how much you'd have to drop it before the camber starts going negative? "......................

GREAT Question. I'm in the same boat, have a 2009 G37 Sedan with 19" G37 Coupe Wheels and 19" Michelin SS tires. Wasn't going to mess with dropping it at all, but now starting to consider it.

Also, does getting KW3's (and similar) actually Improve the ride quality of your shocks on the car, make it BETTER than stock? Or, does it just keep your ride quality the way it was before you had it dropped?

KW3 or similar coilovers will ride better than stock. if you just got springs, like Eibach or H&R, most likely it will be worse. Some will say they don't feel any difference, but they're just justifying the springs. You will feel a negative difference.
