This is with swift springs

That's a xS coupe as well.

Ride is great.

Did not add anything else. That pic is swift springs and that's it.

Which Swift spring do you have installed on your car? Swift advertises springs for the coupe,the sedan and sedan X.

You can't lower and raise a car helter skelter any time you feel like it. That's not the purpose of adjustable coilovers. You set the height and dampening if your coilovers came with that and you leave it. Cause each time you change the height, you would have to get an alignment done! And like I said, that's not the purpose of coilovers.

Budiu...I have the same car in the same color! I was told by quite a few people that the BC coils are nice too however most people say that coils are too rigid and ride too harsh. Do you have problems going over speed bumps or high curbs like over drivers and such? Do you bottom out over bumps especially with 4 people in the car?

Jumping on this thread because I have been wondering the exact same thing.. My biggest concern is whether or not the drop would mess up the AWD system though as well as tire wear??

I called Swift and they do not mfg springs for the G37xS coupe....If they did they stopped....My aftermarket shop called H&R and they now only have a part number and no real parts manufactured...I guess they're testing the market. I would like to know how the ride quality is with coilovers (BC) as I hear that coilovers are too harsh a ride and are mostly for people that want to do track.

Why not use the Eibach 6394.140?

Hi Jarvo,

I would love to...Had them on my 2005 Maxima...they were great. The roads are so bad here in Montreal that I had to replace the top plates a few times until they were done properly....The drop is too dramatic...almost 2" and Tein is worse at over 2"...I was looking for a drop around 1.3 to 1.5". Thanks for the part number though. :-)

Might look into Tananbe, they just listed the G37X coupe in their application page.

And if you run into the back being to low here's a thread to address that too~

Lowering an X with Eibach springs is not a problem , camber kit is not required. I live in Ottawa, you don't get much more snow than that. I have a new x on order, springs will be installed by the dealer under warranty. It will drop by 1.5 inches max, not a problem. I will post some pics as soon as it comes in. I hope this helps.
