I've only lowered 1 car (my acura tsx a few years ago) and did some research before I lowered my TSX and everyone said I should get coilovers because simply getting lowering springs and driving around will eventually make my shocks pretty much be dead.

But that was a TSX, with the new G37s, will I be safe with just lowering springs or will I need to get new shocks eventually?

 

nope. most people are o.k. with the standard 1" drop on teins or eibachs.

 

cool thanks.

Regardless, ANY springs you put on are going to put stress on the shocks, so after 3+ years it will time to replace them.
