Will companies bother....

putting out coilovers for the g37x? Reason is most people who mod the car buy the RWD S. I don't have much of a choice since winters are brutal driving around here. I would like to buy coilovers, but I feel the companies won't bother putting them out since the market for X owners will be slim.

wheels and the weird offsets are another story

lol. I've contacted vendors but they are unaware if they will fit or if they are being made. I also emailed and tried to contact the actual manufacturer, but no luck.

Seems to me that coils for a non-X would work. Unless the set up is that much diffferent. What is the weight difference between the X and non X

i don't think it is a matter of weight, more so the AWD system or the shocks/struts being different or something??? I have no idea.

Eventually they should, the geomtry is definitely going to be different with the front having a drive-line, but there are a bunch of AWD vehicles that have lowering kits. Subbies, Audi's, The X-Drive Beemer's. So give it some time, you probably won't see anything until you get closer to summer when the AWD isn't needed as much for functionality.

^^ that's what I'm hoping anyways. The spring/summer is when I'd really lower it significantly anyways. thanks
