This guy has the best q50 channel out there , super humble dude and usually always responds to his viewers . Awesome channel

My struts blew out when I got springs.. in the past. I have installed coilovers myself and had no issues- it's an easy job for someone who has a little mechanical aptitude.

I just received my BC coilovers set in the mail today for my Q50 ... I’m happy with my decision

I totally agree with you. I regret getting coilovers as daily wanted to go with rsr superdowns but heard it puts a lot of stress on the shocks so I got coils. Not only that I also had to get -new tires -front upper controls arms - rear camber arms -sway bar end links. It’s a nightmare lol

good video. I would still remain firm on coilovers. You can adjust height and dampers(RIDE COMFORT). Springs you still have to replace strut also. Throwing springs on 60k oem struts doesn't work in the long run

Good vid SCS, you remind me why I would prefer Springs. I installed TEIN springs on my 1996 Nissan 200SX SER back when I was a pup but those springs were not Progressive rate springs, they were 2.5 in drop springs and they were sheet, the springs would bottom out all the time. There was an option for a street setup that was progressive rate but it was only 1.2 in drop, I wish I went for those. My next 200SX SER had Eibach progressive rate springs 1.2 in street drop and those were phenomenal. Now that I am a little older and I have a 16" Q50 RS I would want a mild "Progressive rate" spring set up so I do not mess with the expensive adjustable ride suspension setup it came with. , there really is a difference with the adjustable suspension and I am not a hardcore tracker, so a street spring setup makes sense for me.

My first set of coil overs were for a 01 Subaru Forester S. I went with racelands 😂. Slammed it to the ground immediately. The shit looked awesome handled way better and lasted a few years but they were super bouncy and cheap. Definitely going with BC or better for the Q

To avoid blowing your shocks get ones that are meant to be used with lowering springs, like the Koni Sport (which have dampening capability) or Bilstein B8

I just bought a 2018 q50 and I appreciate your videos. Me personally I don’t want to lower the height of the suspension,I just want the car to be smooth

Good info, this was basically the understanding I have and why I plan on just getting the coilovers. Also, the Tein are only $192.50 on ConceptZperformance and free shipping, so under $200 😁.

Good point, I was thinkn of gettn coilovers (Godspeeds or BCs) for my 15 vw passat sport till now. I just wanna lower it 2in (2.5-3 after springs settle), I want a comfy ride, but don't wanna spend a lot too. I don't race just drive fast on the freeway once in awhile. Great vid, thx for another point of view.

I've put springs on 3 different cars. Every time, I ended up switched to coilovers, with 1 car on AirLift Air Ride. My current ride is a 2014 Q50, with RSR-Super Downs. Guess what the UPS guy brought me today...BC Racing "Extreme Low" Coilovers.. can't wait to get 'em installed. (Waited a month for them - thanks COVID!) BTW, Air Suspension WAS the best, but super pricey. Coilovers are where it's at for me most of the time.

I ended up going with the Tein Flex Z coilovers! Loving the ride quality!

I know its been a while since this video been out but IMO just get coilovers you will save time and money, after 6 months having my lowering springs my rear shocks blow and for the same reason damaged my brand new rear tires, your shocks are not meant to work with lowering spring. Now I have Ksports true coilovers way better ride quality and adjust high the big mistake a lot of driver make its wrong instalation as long you found who do it right you will have no issues.

Whats your wheel setup? Looks very clean all the way around 👌

Best channel bro definitely gonna stay in tune W u, Savin for dat q now😅

I was debating between Tein Lowering springs & BC Coilovers but found raceland coilovers ( ultimo) and purchased them for only 529 shipped with a lifetime guarantee. As long as i own the coilovers i will not have to come out a dime for any damaged parts. Ill keep you updated on a review once i test them out and upload on my channel

I have an 09 sedan bought tien springs and my shocks blew out like 2k miles later now I got Bc much better don’t waste time just get coils did look good for 200 and a days worth of work

Did you guys get the BC coil overs with the swift or standard springs?

Imo just go with lowering springs and a nice set of sway bars

I got GoodSpeed coilover 😁 its fit my budget they are good 👍

I just bought Coilovers the other day so imma try them out 😋

I’ve also thought about lowering my car. But I’m AWD with DAS. 2015 Q50S

Currently at 75k on my Q50 s Hybrid, my shocks and struts need replacement coils will be the way to go. They aren’t too many options out there so by the time you order OEM stuff you’ll be easy at 1k. Not to mention coils will destroy OEM stuff on adjustability and ride quality. On my opinion replacing only springs it’s just cheap.

With aftermarket coilovers is possible to keep the same stock hight in the car?

Very insightful. My shocks are stock, dead and the car is 10 years old. I should be looking for coil overs anyway right?

I am having issues after purchasing BC coilovers for my 09 Infiniti FX50S AWD AWS and was not aware of the shock sensors on the car and the Re-Programming of my ECU or my car will not run correctly and throw off codes etc. Can anyone recommend a company or person in MPLS MN that could help. Thanks.

Coilovers.....went from 18 wheels to 20s ...!!!! And didnt have to buy new springs to adjust for bigger wheel.

Murderd Infiniti crew 🤘🏻

Hello. Are tou able to make video about front light system versions? I have a base Q50 model and auto leveling is not working, al teast not when car stands with engine on and P on gearbox. I am not sure how to check if I have autoleveling and if yes if it works... Thanks

Good info. Any issues with your axles? Want to go with coilovers myself. But afraid about how the axles will hold up.

What could happen to the shocks over time if you put on springs and your just daily driving on the road?

So instead of lowering the car what would be a good fitment or your recommendation on the q50 I’m having a baby so now I don’t want to lower it but I want the fitment to look more tight 😅

Thanks for the info... What type and size tires for your setup?

What wheels are those

So I have a 09 M35 RWD. There is but one manufacturer for stock shocks…..KYB for this model. I can only assume that’s the case for other Infiniti models. I was looking at the softer Tein springs w/new stock shocks. You stated no problems since your install. How many miles has it been on the stock shocks/struts? I don’t think it would be worth just getting springs and struts/shocks if they blow in 20K miles. Mine is really clean w/125K on it so….I’m looking at the Scale brand coilovers as a second pricier option.

I have a Acura tlx 2016 I’m looking for coil overs, what brand do you recommend. I don’t go to the track but I travel to work in the early morning hours and most definitely open her up. So I’m looking for a more sporty handle.

Would springs be good if I have low mileage and just drive normal? Like in the long run what will benefit me more?

I'm one of those guys who just wants mine lowered a bit to change the look/stance.

What's the best lowering springs for my Infiniti m37x AWD? I really dont want any wheel gap and I have 22s on the car as well please help anyone.😫

Hey brother quick question? What percentage, brand and type of tint do you have on all the windows?

Wanted to put a set of BC coil overs on my q50 but question is that all you gotta do or is there other things you need for the lowering process?

So if you like to do donuts on the weekend then springs? Or do they not take load well?

Well I bought my car used so if I went with springs I’d still have to buy new struts and top hats anyway and by that time I’m in the coilover price range.

I have 75k miles on my q50 awd. Will my car be okay on springs or upgrade to coilovers due to higher mileage?

Mines already blew cant even put my 1 finger in the gap

Is the Q50 a good car for Canyon carving and racing on curvy roads after installing coilovers??? I used to have a 370Z now im looking at Q50s... but I still want to hit turns and wondering if I will be disappointed in the Q50s handling

no issues with control arms or camber with your tein springs?

I just want to know how you're getting almost 25mpg 😂 I only get 22 on my 2018 if I'm lucky, usually 21.6 to be exact.

Springs only going to last you so long. You'll be replacing more than you think in the long run. Just my 2 cents.

I ended up spending $1300 on ksport suspension on my g37s sedan and I hated the ride so don't get coilovers he is right...

Swift springs blew both OEM shocks in 4 months. Hello Fortune 500

What setup should go with if I have 100k miles?

👍👍👍

I was thinking about getting coil overs for my hundred thousand miles G 37 sedan I’d rather get lowering springs for the cost but I’m worried that my struts may be too old what do you think?.

What size are your tires in the video

Hey Bro, My car is Acura TSX 2014 6MT and I want to lower my car by 1" Please give me some ideas

Would Rwd coils work on awd q50 rs?

Yeah for sure a nice stance man just sexy 2 be honest U can confuse it @ very first with that alpha romeo they came out with in the US ,

I got mines to get lower than my current RSR springs

What lower spring would you recommend for a 2015 Qx50 it’s just my daily small pulls cruise the city and just for looks , 55k miles on it ! Thanks brotha

What kind of wheels are those?

People always assume coilovers will ride better than spring/shock combo for a daily. Coilovers will always have a stiffer ride. Here's a tip - if your car has over 50,000 miles GET NEW SHOCKS and install with the lowering springs or you will blow your stock shocks.

Hey by how much did you lower your car to be exact because your car sits perfect to me and I want to lower mines exactly like yours…thanks

If I lower about 1.5inch with coils will I need camber kit?

How’s it going .. I have a q50 also so I got wheels and the stick out just a little bit past the fenders so when ppl get in the back it drops down so I wanted to know what do you suggest going with coilovers or Tein springs?

What percentage are your taillight tints?

How u feel bout AirLift

stupid question not at all related to the video but how did you get the clock to show on the top display I really can't seem to figure it out lol it only shows on the bottom screen for me I have the 2015 Premium

My car is at 115,000 miles. Is it still a good idea to get lowering springs? If so what’s a recommended setup?

For terribly bumpy roads, you suggest putting coilovers on soft setting? I live in NY 😬

What wheels are those bro

With $1,000 I could of gotten springs and hotchkis sway bars

*me watching directly AFTER i bought coilovers*

I have a 2015 Q50. I wanna tighten up the suspension. What do you recommend

I’m thinking about getting lowering springs for my g37x but it’s AWD so idk how low I should go? Any suggestions?

Yeah man I've shit ,perfect stance .

The Tein Flex Z setup was shit when I first got it installed. Anyone who says it's a good setup probably has never had good coil overs before (no I don't consider BC a better product). I have to run them full stiff to have any sort of confidence on them and i still find them to be too soft. I think they are slightly better than the stock Luxe suspension but lets be honest I really got them to lower my car and I probably could have just got RSR super downs

Is your Q50 RWD or AWD?

Infiniti m37x and need to close this wheel gap completely. What do you guys recommend for me?

Hi VQ gang, so wa should I really go into my 09M35 146K Pls help message or some miracle pls

people who buy coilovers arent dads that pick up their kids from school

21.6 mpg??? Lucky af 😂😂

Holy shit its race car mac Demarco

Too late, I already bought...

A lot of your advice is more opinionated and factual mechanic of 25 years here

9

Canyon Carver aha

Bro you literally are Mac Demarcos Twin

Got RSR Coilovers love it, plus with stillen Swaybar it’s makes it perfect combo. If u ask I push my car to the limit, yes I do. If u wanna look me up check out my insta Moe13q50s

Kids dont lower your car more than what this guy or boost did it looks stupid and lame. Specially when the tires tilt it looks like brain damage

This video is like if the honda kid at autozone was all grown up and made a youtube channel. Just knows enough to be dangerous
