on the front you can drop it down to the tire. so basically bringing the tire up to the fender is about where it goes.

I have a set of these coilovers on my G35 that I recently installed. So far, I have no complaints. The ride is a little stiffer than the 350Z S-Techs and Tokico D-Specs that I had on it before, but I expected that with the higher spring rate of the BC Racing coilovers. I was very impresses with the manufacturing qualities of the coilovers.
I have been told that different spring rates are available on special order. The current rate is 10kg (~560 lbs) front and 8kg (~480 lbs) rear.

i got mine installed two weeks ago and so far, i love them. i have the \ing set in the middle setting for daily use and the ride is close to stock when cruising, but very noticeable difference when cornering on higher speeds. the car feels like they're on rails. i didn't drop the car all the way, still gauging the perfect ride height and waiting until initial set ride height settles.
here are pics.
i had adjusters /extenders installed on rear brace housing.

265/40? You sure about that?
these have a wide range of height adjustment
no one can tell you if you will "need" front/rear alignment kits as every car is different. Most times if you are lowering the car over an inch, you will need these items as well. However, if you run very aggressive offset wheels, very wide tires, or, if your car was at the outer edge of "acceptable" for an alignment before you lower it, then the liklihood that you need adjustable camber/toe provisions increases

I have been riding on mine for 3 weeks now and I haven't adjusted the height yet. My rear tires tuck into the fender wells. I need to lower the front about 1/2 inch to be even with the top of the tires.
