G37x lowering

I have a G37x I want to lowering about 1-1.5inch. Can I just use a lowering spring? I still want to have a smooth ride.

For that mild a drop I'd go with the Swift springs

Just realize that you'll need a camber kit which will be another $700 over the $300-$350 for the springs. At that cost, you're only a couple of hundred away from coilovers.

If it's a sedan you might look at Intricate Details thread, he's got Tanabes and alignment should be close

Yeah, the Swifts have a spring rate in line w/ the Eibachs, AFAIK the Tanabes are the closest to OEM spring rates for the X, if you had a RWD the Tein H Techs are the softest, even softer than OEMs.

What about the Megan springs for the X sedan? Almost same spring rate and drop as the Swift and less than half the price.

This is the only pics I've seen (and it looks like you posted there already) seems to be a bit deeper drop than Swifts but hard to tell for sure w/ only those few pics
