Does anybody have stock spring rate data compared to the Swift springs for the G37x?
The swift springs are described at around 440LB/IN front and 410LB/IN rear. I wouldn't imagine the stock springs are close to being that stiff.

Newt is our sedan forum's resident expert on wheel and tire specs. And even he's still figuring new things out.

I have searched endlessly for the OEM spring rates for the X and have come up with nothing. Only thing you can do is deduce from the % stiffer that a brand states and back into the number.

Yep^^^
Viet prior to ordering post the size & offset in this thread just so you'll know what to expect. It's a pretty good sized purchase so IMO it's best to know what look you'll be getting prior to plunking down the coin. For a square sedan AWD setup I'd shoot for 8.5 +35s running 245/35s on 20s or 245/40 if running 19s or 9" +40 running same size tires. If you go 9.5" I'd go +45 offset running the same tires, but they'll be a little stretched on the mount.

I'm gonna stop hijacking this thread and revert back to my other thread which seems more on topic.

If I had to do it over again I would consider the Koni inserts with swift springs I think. Still puts you in the same $$ range though.

People have posted they raise the front of the car. The same has been said of Koni Yellows, but mine didn't, and it's possible to mount the lower spring pearch 2 ways, one of which would definitely raise the front. It's possible the Tokico have the same variable.
Koni Yellows are rebound adjustable and have a lifetime warranty.
