Question ditching my H&Rs, IMPUL or SWIFT?

so the H&Rs are just too low for my taste, I'm looking to switch it up and raise it up a tad. I have 19" coupe sport wheels and was wondering if I should go with the IMPUL springs that I already have in the box or with SWIFT. I believe the SWIFTs are new and haven't really read or seen too much on them. this is for 2007 G35X

There's some big threads on the Swifts, haven't heard much about Impuls though.
This one states 08+ models, not sure if the drop will be the same since you have the lighter 5AT transmission. My RWD 7AT dropped my front a half inch lower than advertised when I used a set of B&G springs for the 07 G35 w/ 5AT.

in my opinion and what I have seen, I dont think you will be happy with the Impul drop. If you are going IMPUL you might as well do the 370z spring with rear springmount cut. Swift drop was perfect for DDing although ride was a little rough.

H&Rs are deep drops, you'll need the arms & toe kit to get in spec almost for certain.

its probably safe to say that the majority of eibach owners need camber kits while some are able to get by without. Seems like swift might be the only one where the majority can actually get it back to spec.

I have swifts and my front camber was not able to be adjusted back to stock specifications. Barely out of spec but still not dead on factory settings. 2010 journey sedan 7at.
