I almost took a the gray with stone interior but at last minute I decided the light interior would be a mess the day after it rained so I went and found a Blue Slate with the black interior.

Yeah I know but it looked better than the base G37x. Wanted something nicer compared to my 09 WRX. Although I miss the power the WRX had compared to this. WRX had quite a few mods done and was right there with 400whp tuned Mustangs. Oh well time to grow up a little and do a couple mods to this car but nothing crazy as I may like the new model coming out next year and turn this in for a 2014 lol.

Sorry people...In Canada the G37xS coupe comes with the sport suspension...the same as the 6MT. My questions is: If I lower it using the Eibach Pro Kit will I need to adjust my suspention or install at camber kit?

Got my 2010XS for the 18s. Paddle shifters were a plus. Hotchkis sways are in my garage going on the holiday weekend. Just my $.02

Why are you sorry? You are correct. The xS coupe does come with a sport tuned suspension here in Canada just as it does (as an option) most everywhere else that the xS coupe is sold.
However, this is the sedan section of the forum and this thread asked about the xS Sedan suspension, not the xS coupe.

For your Eibach question. If you lower the car you will need to have a 4 wheel alignment adjustment to bring into specifications. It will prevent premature tire wear and help keep the car tracking properly.
Without aftermarket camber kits you will get the alignment camber close but not quite within spec. A good shop will be able to get the alignment toe within specification and this is most important in this case. The little bit of extra camber you will end up with will help provide more stability in cornering without reducing the tire life very much. It also depends on how hard you regularly drive the tires into the pavement. There are 1000's of threads about this stuff.

I had leased a 2008 G35xS sedan which had tight suspension and was responsive! So when I leased the 2012 G37xS sedan I was disappointed to no longer have the sport suspension and to have a dopey transmission. Should have done more research on the new model!
Interior is great, but Infiniti put lighter suspension on a heavier car and I have to beg my transmission to please shift now... if you feel like it. Or use paddle shifters all the time which isn't practical.

The 08G35xS may not have the exact same front/rear sport tuned suspension that the RWD S has but it does have a different front sport tuned suspension than the Base/Journey/X.
