Question G37x Lowering advice

So long story short I am getting a Pick Up truck (08 Ford F150) and I am kicking myself cuz I bought an 09 X Coupe for my 75 Miles of daily commuting to work everyday (jersey winters suck) and now I dont really have to worry about that since I can use the truck and let that get ruined by salt... ice... small children (jk)...whatever may be in way....but my question is...i can finally lower my car and not have to worry about ice chunks and stuff like that....do you guys have any suggestions? I don't think I want springs because I am under the impression that it puts more stress on the car? I have read about some coilover kits but again I do not know enough about it despite what i have been able to read especially given the AWD setup which has been a pain for every mod I do (ive wanted to rip the transfer case off on numerous occassions) lol. Suspension is def not my area of expertise so any advice would be appreciated. Thank you!

I have done some reading on eibach and it appears that a camber kit should be used in conjunction to prevent uneven tire wear etc...

Eibach Springs : Pro-Alignment | Precision Alignment Kits | Pro-Alignment | Alignment | Uneven Tire Wear | wheel | suspension | lowering | camber



would that be the correct product needed? thanks

some people on Eibachs use the camber kit, some don't. I have never put a camber kit on my G and I'm just fine

on a related note does anyone know what camber kits work with the AWD coupe....everything I find says it excludes the Xcoupe yet people are saying they have AWD coupes with eibach pro kits and camber kits because the AWD gets lowered alot....so which ones will work on a xcoupe???
