lol nah she spent $1k on me i think thats enough.

ill do sway bars eventually but as ive made a dramatic improvement over the previous suspension ive had, i think ill just get used to these first..

Lol dude, was just stirring; anytime you're ready.:thumbsup: They'll make a nice amount of difference, especially since your shocks were fairly stuffed to begin with.

So is it 2x3mm washers that are required on each coilover? Does it matter what they are made of?

Pm me your address; I'll post some to you. I has a shite load of them.

Sorry I should really keep all of the questions/info here.. What is involved with the rear spring removal in the M35? can you just take the outer bolt out of the "lower spring mount" and that is enough to drop the spring out or is there more to it?

As Dale once said..

To remove the STD rear spring it is easier to undo the inner mount for the lower arm (one with the spring seat) and lower the whole arm supported with a jack. Mark the eccentric bolt on the lower arm before removal. You'll be aligning once you're done; but at least you're no worse off. The STD spring is very long and you won't be able to swing the arm far enough down to remove the spring from the seat.

I thought you said you'd sussed it out already :P

Is anyone finding that they need to set the rear passenger spring lower than the drivers rear to get the back of the car level?

I'm using Tanabe and the rear passenger side needs the spring adjusted lower to try and level the car out. Now it's to the point where I lower the rear passenger but when the car has settled it hasn't changed the height of the car. I'm lost as I can't work out why that corner won't come down even though I'm lowering the spring.

Have you loosened all the control arm mounting points to release the tension on the bushes? This can limit adjustment. You'll need to have the car on ramps so everything is loaded and at ride height.

Also, check the springs to see if they're marked left/right or nearside/farside. I wouldn't expect that, but you never know...

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
