I'm interested in the BC coilovers. I was a little put off by some of the comments about how customers had issues with these on their G's. Seems like DDM is quite happy with them, the quality looks fantastic, and they are competitively priced.

Care to shoot me a PM with your price on the ER's?

Good luck! :tiphat:

I wish I could make it a dedicated track car, but I learned my lesson with the 350Z. I won't be building another dedicated track car unless I have a much bigger budget :). The 370Z is my daily driver so that is first priority for right now.

The problem with the first batch of G37 coilovers has been taken care of. They used to use metal pillowball mounts, which are better for performance, but they rattled on certain cars. Now they use rubber mounts for all applications and they don't make any noise.

Ah ok. That really isn't bad at all. They designed the coilover for better performance, but at the cost of increased NVH. Their customers weren't particularly happy about that, so they fixed it. That really isn't bad at all.

I was expecting something wrong with the quality or design of the coilovers.

Thanks for the info!

Yeah, they used to do the rubber mounts on only luxury applications and assumed the G37 community would fall more into the performance catagory, but they all complained lol. Now they do rubber mounts for everything, but I believe you can still request metal ones if you wanted that little bit of performance.

I had spherical bearings on my Mustang. I really don't think the performance to annoyance ratio is worth it. However, it is good to know.

I think I see a set of these in the future ;)
