F50 Q45 Ksport Coilovers

Im new to this forum but not new to Nissan/Infiniti....anyways just purchased a 03 Q45 about a month ago and also purchased these about 3 weeks ago and just came in the mail today so I thought i'd just post some photos of them being unboxed.  It will be a lil while before I get around to installing them, first I wanna find some spare front spindle/shock assemblys so that I can keep the stockers intact just incase of anything later (just how I like to do things)....but i'll update as I go.

So how low does the front get?

Wow your car is clean. You will have to modify your cats if you slam it lol my cats are about an inch off the ground at ride height for me :(

Thanks, it had 86k on it when I bought it

[QUOTE=goldmember;467281]So how low does the front get?[/QUOTE]

Havent installed them yet, I was suppost to go drive out to gardena, ca and pick up some spare front spindle/shock assembles but worked 13 hours lastnite and im burned out dont feel like getitng them lol.

Make them go away. I went from scraping on speed bumps to never. Also, make your center rear resonator into a cat. and should pass regulations. Also, pulling the motor up an inch will work as well. Soo much room in the wheel wells and no wiring to tuck!

Any update?

Still haven't got around to installing the coilovers yet but now I want to since I bought some FX35 Sport Wheels today.

Updates:

Anyone installing Ksport Coilovers would probably like to know that for the rear coilover's you have to stud the top top hats yourself and to do so you will have to open up the mounting holes to 13/32" in order to use the stock top hat stud and these is also a cross slotted hold and you want to press the stud right into it at center mass and for the lower shock mount you will also need a nut to secure the bolt since on the stock shock had the nut is welded into place, this is not so on the ksports.

For the fronts this was kind of a pain in the ass but I few key points here also, in order to retain the same position with regard to the sway bar end link position and clocking you need to leave 29.75mm of the shock body remaining and the clocking is approx. 2 O'clock and 10 O'clock with wheels pointed straight and looking down over the shock assembly.

that looks so nice, would be sick to have 2, one to keep like this for a daily, and one to slam stretch poke whatever...  Sitting like that, I bet you'll get comments, and people will wonder if it's a new model.

Thanks yea I get a lot of stares and people asking what is that lol....I dropped it almost .5" more in the rear since that last picture was taken, once the weather clears and I get to wash it i'll take another pic.

I use to live in Fontana I hated the streets out there lol

Yea Fontana street are shitty lol.....Thanks......I probably only plan on doing a brake upgrade to complement these wheels, either Stock G37/370Z Akebono's (14") or if some how I can get some R35 Brembo's for a decent price then those (15.3")

Looking good! I remember seeing your Q when you first posted it on G20.net. Nice to see that you got your new struts on. Love those FX wheels.

Thanks bro I didn't know you were a member on g20.net also.....you also ran R35 wheels didn't you? Love those wheels to!

yeah that looks hawt!! funny, mine came with 86k miles on it too haha.. 20s make it sit pretty good.. i may have to rebarrel mine to a 20 as well. with 19s i have a lot less ground clearance with about the same fender to wheel height.

in for more progress!

I had a white P11 before I picked up the Q45. And yes I'm currently on R35 10.5" squared at the moment.

Nice 20's seem like a good overall fit and size for the F50 Q45 I think
