I just read an old thread by SK on the dangers of using ultra low springs (320mm from centre of wheel to Guard i think) with standard shocks and the damage it caused and was wondering if the more knowledgable people out there can advise me on the Pros and Cons of putting the SK Group Buy Whiteline Springs together with the standard shocks for a little while.

I already have all the other GB stuff (Bushes, Swaybars etc) just cant afford the Bilsteins just yet.

As the springs are not ultra low (350mm from centre of wheel to Guard) would the same damage still happen with hitting bump stops etc.

Should I not put the springs in til I get the Bilsteins??????

I've got through many variations of suspension - if you are on a budget and car is a street car - just go with springs.

Trim the bumpstops a little, put the springs in, and you'll have a nice riding slightly lower car.

The Bilsteins are still very harsh in comparison, even with stock springs, and they suffer frmo lack of travel in the front as well.

As much as people will tell you to change the shocks too, it will still cope fine. The car is not a corolla or pulsar. Go with Bilsteins, and prepared to have a pretty firm but not jarring ride.

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
