Swift spring install.. not all good..help...
I called Koni first. They do not offer shocks for AWD sedans, at least not late model sedans. If someone can prove me wrong I'd certainly be happy ...

The G37 Koni is actually a 370Z part number carried over to the G37.
They have no intention of developing a Sedan. I forgot about this.
.Additionally, getting Swift upgrade springs for any coilover system will set one back an additional $350 or so for a set of four springs.
I would like to share this link to this thread from 370z.com

Nice white Z too
I was looking into this too, was told directly by Koni that the Yellow's do not work on the AWD G's. They have no plans to develop it either.
I really think us AWD guys are SOL for an appropriate damper for the Swift's.
My plan is to kill off my OEM dampers with the higher spring rate of the Swift springs and then re-evaluate at that time.
Too bad Ohlins doesn't make anything either.

Since this thread got bumped. I figured I'd update.
I bought the OP's springs from him. Had them installed for a few weeks and couldn't be happier. Of course there are drawbacks, but the pros outweigh the cons. I was totally within factory specs without any camber kits, and I do not notice any of the squirrelly-ness that the OP experienced.

I will not disagree with you about springs. No way does a car ride the same with springs. No. freakin. way.
However, allow me to assuage your doubts about coils. With the proper set of coils, and a fair amount of adjustability, your car CAN indeed ride like stock when lowered.
I have the KW V3 set at 11 up front and 9 in the back. It is more stiff than stock at that setting, but the ride is not harsh. It conveys much more 'road-feel' and I absolutely love driving it. I posted a thread in the 'other cars' section stating how this set-up has pretty much ruined me for anything else. I'm spoiled now... so either I get new coils with each new car, or my wife hits the lotto and I get a GT-R.
(prolly end up putting coils on that, too

)11 and 9 for what? Rebound or compression?
I got the v3s at 16 rebound and 12 compression towards soft and on 20s with thin profile tires it's still riding Rough for some reason I'm not sure what's up with it...
Sorry for bringing this up ..
I just wanna ask this, howz the ride compared to Eibachs .. I used to have Eibachs and to me they were just fine, now if swifts are like eibachs then they work for me no issues .
