Go to the vendors want to buy section. Post up your details and I'm sure a few vendors will get back to you.

Can't believe how well the Swifts handled with 4 adults & a child, plus 3 fully packed luggages...2 in the trunk & one across their laps in the back.

This was the first time both my parents has been in the G...they were expecting the FX.
Usually my father gets annoyed on how bad the roads are in Boston, but not one word from him this time...he only wondered how it would handle in the snow since the level of the car was so low. He doesn't know that it was lowered.

I'm quite happy also that there was no rubbing due to the load with the 20mm spacers...all was good!

Glad that the decision was made by going with the Swifts...the perfect complement to the Infiniti G37x(S) sedan!
Similar situation, had two passengers and heavy luggages in the back no long ago, the springs compressed but no rubbing.

Actually with the right rims & wheels you'll want to lower it for sure!

Agreed^^^

If planning to upgrade to larger wheels...lowering is a must!
With a larger rim, the vehicle will appear to be 4 wheelin'

I was about the say exactly that. The X sits differently than the RWD. Plus, different rims draw the eye in different ways. I think a RWD G37 Sedan can easily support 19" rims without looking odd.

i can't decide on actually installing my swift springs or not. it would be on stock shocks and i have decided that i don't want to sacrifice ride quality as i already have a car with that. add in the fact that i have coupe 19s and the car looks a little high too.
