Post G37x Coupe - Best Lowering Spring w/ 20x10.5 Vossen CV5's? HELP!!

Hey I just picked up a new G37x Coupe for another car as a semi daily driver. I live in a suburb of Cleveland, but I am not scared to run 20x10.5s on 265/30/20s with the roads. No matter what I always go through rims and tires stock or aftermarket. Just going to have the car for 18 months and about 15k miles (I am a manager at a dealership and will get out of it).

I have been looking long and hard for help on picking a set of springs, but no one seems to have pics or experience running springs on an X coupe. Looking for lowest drop without feeling the stock struts bottom out all the time. Eibach? H&R? Swift? Megan Racing?

Any advice from users with AWD Coupes would be great and pics would be even better! Thanks!!!

I have eibach's on my G37x Coupe. With 20's it's a pretty good drop and rides well.

I have eibach on my g and sometimes I wish it was a bit lower. So i would say swift spring would be the best.

AFAIK there are no springs for the AWD Coupe that will be any lower than your Eibachs, all the lower springs like H&R, S-Techs, B&G only make RWD sets. Swift is the only other AWD spring and they just have the set for the sedan, the coupe setup is still under testing
Coilovers will get you exactly the height you want and start around $850 give or take. If you don't have camber arms & rear toe kit you'll need that too, that's another $500 + install labor.
Check this thread for coilover options, the BC Racing, Megan, D2 & KSports are under $1k and are similar in design and quality can be hit or miss. I have the Megan LP coils for my RWD and they've held up well for 30k miles but YMMV. The Fortune 500s are a few hundred more but seem to be getting good overall reviews. There's some reviews on them in the Suspension folder.

Yeah, unfortunately an arm & a leg is just the down payment

Looking nice Alfred, good choice w/ the wheels & what you've done w/ the trim
A little lower would look nice but just have to ask if it's worth it, plus if you drop much lower you'll have much more to worry about just driving around town.
