The G35C I want something responsive as the Tein flex, but soft was well like Tein Basic.
This is their car.

Aux - That's some nice info you posted. I just found out today from the G's forum. They're damn close I must say.

uhhhh wasn't trying to make money if you knew the distance from anaheim to alhambra both ways it's close to 100 miles which is a quarter tank of gas which is around 8 dollars. How about you stfu and not comment about me asking for enough gas to get me back and forth since I don't make money and gas is expensive. go :diaf:

aight...just got back from the shop an hour ago....

both Rob and Preston are pretty damn cool guys. anyway, got a close up look at the products and the G35C...

the coilovers. aesthetics alone, they look pretty damn f*cking badass!! :thumbup: craftsmanship/build quality... feels and looks pretty damn solid and well assembled. none of the parts seem like they were manufactured from cheap materials. the fit on each component is pretty damn tight and pretty precisely put together. 24point adjustability on dampers...and approximately 3inches in height range.

G35C..... car was pretty friggin clean. it was sitting on 20s and dropped pretty low. there was still probably another 1" to 1/2" left to lower if wanted... but that would not be worth the hassle. set at the middle damper setting, the ride is not harsh and bone-jarring and neither is it soft. pretty much like stock feel, but with a definite noticeability in the increase firmness.

pricing is pretty competitive with other brands. and seriously, what impressed me the most was the quality and fit and finish of the final product. both guys were straightforward and honest.

im now considering to canceling my backorder for the FMIC and getting these coilovers h: that way i can lower my car 1/4" more to completely get rid of any gap and also replace my current shocks that are probably going to go out on me later this year. :happysad:

Damn, that's tight. You don't know how happy you make me feel right now.

DJ02 - Last I speak, they're running a special of 900/set for my G35C. Of course, for some Honda application, it'd be cheaper. Rob and Preston even said that if we have a GroupBuy going on, they'll cut us a good deal.

Thanks again for the good review bro.

If any of us want to join in the GB, I'll start a new thread where we all can sign up.
