Best (and most reasonable) drop for G37X Sedans

Unfortunately, I am asking for information....not giving information.

Before you tell me "Do a Search!".......I have. I went through over 10 pages in the suspension forum and I can't get a clear answer.

The closest thing I found was a guy who mixed and matched springs from 2 different companies. He had Eibachs on the front and H&R on the back?? I don't want to mix and match, haha. Plus that means buying 2 sets of springs. No thank you.

I don't want coils.

I don't want to slam the car.

This is my daily driver. I just want to close the wheel gap a bit and then get some new wheels with a good offset to close the gap a little more.

I really am trying to do this while keeping my stock shock/struts (for a while anyway). I am also trying to avoid (as much as possible) having to add camber kits and all that B.S.

I have heard about the Swift springs but I can't find out much about them? Including where to purchase? And how much they cost???

Is Swift the way to go for the AWD Sedans?

I see a LOT of Eibachs Pro Kit users out there...but they have that reverse rake (rear squat) and the immediate need for camber kits (front...rear...both?) and eventual need for new shocks........


Uhggg....

Help with advice please

Why don't you want coilovers? KW V3's are fully adjustable so you can get the ride you want, at the height you want.

The way you are describing the look you want just SCREAMS coilovers. I have the KW V3 on my car and do not need a camber kit. I am at -1.8 camber on all 4 corners, have rotated my tires only one time and they are wearing evenly.

It really is the best choice. I'm not sure why you're against it.

Sounds like he wants to keep his stock struts, no camber kit and wants a good source for the swift springs, so I'm taking this as he wants to lessen the gap for the best price w/ minimal extra parts
I'd just find the swift spring thread and PM the guys that have those springs to find the best source for them. It does sound like the swift springs should accomplish everything on his wish list.

But MACS has it right, coils FTW if you have the budget

The only coilovers for the X are BC or D2 so the kw3's won't work anyway. I use eibach pro kit on my car no camber kit and the alignment is in factory spec

That's good to hear. Are you using the factory struts? If so....how long have you had the Eibachs on and how is the ride?
