coupeS vs. vertS same coil?

Hey guys!

At first Hi from Montreal Quebec Canada

I wonder I own 2010 g37S coupe and I bought the Eibach prokit coil, I wonder if those spring will fit on the 2009 g37S convertible?

The vert will be my new purchase

Thx everyone!

The vert is a heavier car. Ifyou just change springs the car will be lower than what Eibach intended for the coupe.

Fitment would probably be the same, but as the above poster stated. Not to mention your shocks would take a beating.

Shocks take a beating for sure. There is no camber kit for the rear and you will run 3 degs opf negative camber and likely go through tires in 6 months. True story.

Ditto! Cereal2k is 100% correct... I too have a vert. I was sold the eibach set and was told it would work the same as a coupe. I went thru a set of $500 20" hankooks in about 5 months it wore about 3" wide on the inside of the tires till I got a blow out on the west side hwy in manhattan and had to get flatbeded home about 55miles. This was due to the neg camber. So I ended up putting the stocks back in hopes they come out with a camber kit for the vert. I had to return a set to stillen who sold me a set that wouldn't work since the verts rear shock gets bolted to the arm directly. So if you replace that arm with an adjustable arm then you have no place to mount the bottom of your shock. Hopefully someone comes out with a rear camber kit for the vert soon..... I left the front eibach's on and no issues other than the headlights aiming down of course. Good luck to you! Hope this helps

I forgot to mention about the added weight of the convertible. With the eibach pro kit rear shocks on a vert. You WILL bottom out very often. I don't miss that. The stock are SO much better. I just hate the wheel gap. Just my .02
