LOL. I just sent you a PM. I wasn't going to reply because this wasn't my thread. Well, I just realized this is your thread so I don't mind responding. :D

These wheels are the 18" Infiniti wheel package. Even though I like them, I still plan on getting 19's in a few months. If for some reason, I decide to keep them, I'll end up getting 20 or 25 mm spacers. Here's a pic with the wheel specs.

If I were getting springs, I'd get the swifts for their linear rates and more even drop. If you also are willing to get Koni shocks, both will work well though the eibachs will probably ride a touch firmer, just based on the rates.
I am new to this site I'm looking to lower my 2011infiniti g37 sedan that my wife drives it most of the time and I don't to be able to know she will not leave the front bumper on a parking stop. I'm looking at swift or eibach pro and I also don't want to loose my factory ride. I already went from 17" to 18 factory, wheels and have not noticed a difference but I recently purchased 19in sport coupe 10 spoke wheels with 245×40 up fr.and 275 35 19 rr. And I have noticed a big change in the ride and so has my wife so I want to make the right decision on the springs so she doesn't freak with the changes

You really can't go wrong with either. Both are going to ride very similar. I would say that the Eibachs will drop a little bit more than the swifts. I have been on swifts for a month now and I'm within stock camber and haven't had any trouble with speed bumps or parking stops. Good luck with whatever you choose.

For that kind of coin, I'd imagine you can get some REALLY nice aftermarket rims.

The ride is stiffer but for good reason. You will feel the car is more planted to the ground at higher speeds and through turns. It's not an uncomfortable stiff at all.

Coupe eibach springs on a sedan are a perfect drop.

I would say go ahead with Eibach they have been known for years to be the best leading especially for daily driving.

No kidding. I have a set if you're looking, nowhere near that price point.

Does Swift springs drop more in the rear? Or was it balanced? Eibach is nose-heavy?

Anybody use the Sportline vs Pro?

How is the ride I want to put them on my g37 sedan

More so than the eibach. I have almost 3 finger gap in the front with with someone sitting in it and barely one inch in the the rear. Looks silly.

this is very interesting to know. I see many threads on this forum with Swift springs. Why are they more expensive than the Eibachs? I wasn't able to find why people choose Swift over Eibach, performance-wise?

I am coming from an Accord on Megan coilovers and upgraded UR sway bars, looking to preserve a similar performance metric if possible without going too low.
