m35 coilover question
i got a 06 m35 with uas on stock struts.
i want to purchase coilovers but can someone help me find "true" coilovers for my car? since the oem style is spring and shock separate.
(i know d2 makes them but i want other options)
reason why i want true coilovers rather than the spring being separate than the shocks is because i wanna put camber and toe arms on to add negative camber.
or is it possible to put on brackets on the rear strut so i can put bags over strut?

iirc z33 rear coils fit, but don't quote me on that.

are you wanting to run uas + coils or run static? if you plan on retaining air i think you would run into clearance issues running uas on a true coilover. i think a f50/y34 ruca would work and would be the simplest solution to the problem. i'm think timothy is right about the y33 coilover working as well, and since it is a more common platform almost every company has tested a true coilover setup for the chassis.

i googled it and glanced at it real quick, looks like people are cross selling coils as y50/v35/z33 compatible. again, i take no liability for this lol.

i want uas on the coils. what kind of clearance issues would i run into if i use uas bags on a true coil over?

i think most people just use the spring bucket for ease of installation and $$$, but a true coil will allow for more adjustment. again, i could be wrong i'm just regurgitating what i've read and seen.

it's likely that the area around the shock will not accomodate the diameter of the bag since it was not designed for a spring. get in there and measure before you make a move. you want ~3" of clearance from the shock.

Why would you want to change the natural order of the suspension to something thats not made for the car? JW bc if you want your rear bags ON the struts theres no way that would work. Simply not enought room nor is the strut designed to have a bag on it let alone a spring

because with a true coil you can replace the spring bucket with a z33 lca for more camber from the bottom, as well as go lower with a true coilover. most guys in this game are gonna fuck with the 'natural order' anyways to get lower and achieve the look they want. just because it came from the factory that way doesn't mean it's best. just means it was probably the best compromise between function and cost. just like nissan's brake based traction control, versus throwing a real lsd on newer vehicles.

unforunately i don't think it's an option here. honestly though i don't think it's that big of an issue. the arm that the bag sits on is the toe arm, so unless you're going waaay out of spec i think you can keep things in line with oversized eccentric bolts and a camber arm.

Oh I completely understand "fucking with the natural order" you pretty much have to in this game lol. I was more speaking as to why you would want to change that to achieve that same affect that some people with the same platform that are running -10 or more rear camber (a member on here Gmo from texas) on air with just custom camber arms. Not saying stock is best or the way to go by any means just more questioning the thought process to honestly expand MY mindset and learn more myself. Not trying to be combative in any way.
