how much does it cost to lower your car? and what is the best way to do it

 

3 ways to do it.

1) 3 Fat chicks in back seat (you might rub)

2) Springs ($350 - $850: Unless you have a spring compressor I highly recommend going to a shop. The Spring themselves will cost you anywhere from 200 - 450 depending on which company and quality you get. Then another 150-400 for installation depending on where you go (If you have the X this is pretty much your only choice)

3) Coils: This is the BEST option, you will get more power over your suspension your car will corner like its on rails and its adjustable. You have a bunch of options when it comes to manufacturers whether its BC or KW its all about how much you wanna spend and what you wanna get out of it. Heres the problem with coils you can JUST get the coils. After getting coils you will most likely need to roll your fenders, get a camber kit (depending on how low you go), you will need 2 wheel alignments (one after you put it on and the other when the springs set). BC coils run for ~1200 and KW's are like ~2200 camber kits run for about 150+ and rolling your fenders will cost you like $25, alignments are like 50 - 95.

When it comes down to it if you have the AWD sedan your just like me and your out of luck! You're only reasonable choice would be springs. BC Racing offers coils for AWD but its such a horrible ride i wouldn't recommend it to my enemies.

 

Springs, and do them yourself. Just rent a spring compressor and save the installation cost. It's not hard to do.

 

Stay away from BC- horrible experience with coils and company

 

Not so. I have KW's on my car with a conservative drop. No camber kit, and I didn't have to roll my fenders.

My camber is -1.8 all around and it only rubs slightly if I hit dips fast. After 8k miles the tires seem to be wearing well. YMMV.

 

"I did say depends on how low you (plan to) go"
So he may or may not need it but if he slams it he will definitely require it.

just sayin..

 

The need to flare your fenders will actually be based on the offset and width or your wheels (which is why Im rolled and flared). If you want adjustability, go with coils.

 

i have to 2009 G37XS sedan. what should i use to drop it and be safe from bottoming out ect

 

The cheaper route is springs. If you want a very conservative drop get swift springs, and if you want a medium drop go eibach pro kit. I know the eibachs have a close to stock comfort and I am also pretty sure the swift springs do too. If you want the comfort of adjustability, dampaning, more overall control of your suspension go with coilovers. Since you have an AWD your only option is BC coilovers. A lot of people have mixed reviews about the BC coils so you would have to research on that.

 

I have the same car as you and I purchased the Eibach Pro Kit 6399.140, its meant for the 07-08 X sedan

 

so what is the safest/best look that wont run me into any troubles with my 2009 G37XS AWD? thanks

This guy was dropped on the 6399.140 pro kit and he has a X sedan as well.

I currently have this kit sitting in my garage, Im just waiting for the weather to clear out a bit more before I install it. Once I have it installed, I will post some pics of how it looks

 

how come in some pics you see red brakes in the wheels. are those special ones?

 

i am just looking for the name and type of drop best for my AWD sedan. i just dont know that much about it

 

Thats not my sedan, so im not too sure. You should PM and ask him about it
