I have a 2011 G37xS Coupe
And I've been looking for options to lower it, but as you know there aren't very many options for the AWD Coupe.

There is the spring only option: H&R Springs, Eibach Pro Springs, and Swift Springs(still under development)
(PS: you can buy H&R springs for the X Coupe, but till this day, never seen a picture of one on a X coupe **picture from their site attached**)

Then there is the coilover option: BC Racing Coilover (this is the only thing I know for coilovers for the X Coupe)
Please let me know if there are other options available.

Anyhow, I live in Michigan and I'm leaning towards getting coils mostly due to the height adjustability, and ride quality.
Money isn't an issue as long as I get what I paid for, so I'm leaning towards the BC Racing Coils.

So... here is my question.
Anyone here have coilovers on their X Coupe?
And how do you like it compared to OEM set-up?
Anyone know if KW coilovers are an option for the X Coupe?
And my last question,
Eibach Pro drop for the X coupe is 1/2" too much for my taste,
Can you make the coilovers sit higher then the Eibach Pro Kit?

I'll also be tracking my car starting spring of 2012.

I thank all of you in advance!!! really appreciate your help

 

i would really appreciate any input! please! i beg you guys!

 

Yes BC are the coils, Heard only good things about them .I only know of Eibachs for springs( What I have). The car looks GREAT with the drop. Thats to much for you? Drop it not that agressive at all. Stay stock.. IF you drop it you will need spacers the wheels will tuck in and look horriable,.. I have pic of my car dropped on here" My G's new shoes".. Coupe section.

 

thanks man!! i may have to go with coils... no actually, i am going to go with coils
since im in michigan, it will allow me to raise the height in the winter, and drop it in the summer
I also heard u dont sacrifice as much ride comfort with coils
question is....
How much fender to wheel gap will i have at max height with the coils????

 

No problem man. Nut sure how much higher than stock you can go on coils, I think the max setting up maybe the stock height, but thats high enough.. I'm in a heavy snow area also( Boston) So I'm gonna see how driving on the Eibachs in the snow is.. I usually do not plow into snow banks tho.. LOL

 

I heard from others with the X Coupe, the Eibach drop makes snow get stuck in between the fender and tire making the traction in the snow pretty bad.
I'm planning on getting the coils in 2012 spring time, and plan on riding stock height till then.
But definitely tell me how it rides in the winter.

And yeah, i don't want to go any higher then stock height even in the winter.
The stock height for the x coupe is over kill! hahaha
I think the perfect height for ME is about 3/4" gap w/ stock ride comfort haha

 

Not sure if tihs is relevant as its a sedan:
Help! bc racing awd max height - G35Driver

 

I had the sedan( Stock ride height) the last two winters and I always had snow stuck in there, Just kicked the bottom on the snow pack and it fell right out.
