My G37X Sedan - Swift Springs and 20 inch Rohana RC10

Been working on this for a while and wanted to share the final product (2010 G37x) with you guys


Front is 20x9, 245/35/20
Rear is 20x10, 275/30/20

Lowered on Swift (amazing drop imo) ; ride comfort is the same, only noticeable difference is if you hit a pothole or a road imperfection you'll feel it more than usual, absolutely no big deal for me though

Special thanks to Brad (blnewt) who answered 100 of my questions before the install

Pics of the drop and rims are below in case anyone is ever pondering something similar

-Installing Midnight Grille tomorrow; Still awaiting FI HFCs in mail, and the front lip spoiler (hope that goes well with the look) ; later on I'm planning on adding the illuminated kick plates and the splash guards

One Love.

Nice work samer! The drop looks good as well. I have the same setup but your rear looks just a tad lower than mines as it is supposed to. How is the ride comfort now?

im assuming it might drop just a bit more, those pics are an hour after install; for a marketed 'mild drop' im very impressed with the swifts. Comfort is honestly unchanged, UNLESS I hit a road imperfection, I'll feel it ; (stiffer for sure) but thats not often thankfully

Hahah yeah as I thought. Same here, gotta say sometimes it hurts me as well when I hit a pot hole I cannot avoid. But the improvement is well worth it

Looking good, glad you got the "right" tires for those wheels Samer, bet you're really happy w/ the look, the fit, and the drop
If you want some DIYs for blacking out the window trim and painting your taillights shoot me a PM. BTW, were you able to get your money back on those rear tires?
Oh, and if you load your pics over on www.imageshack.com you can directly post all your pics in the tread without links

Those rims have a really nice look when stepping back from the car. Particularly with the black inset on a black car. But up close, the chrome lip kind of takes over. I don't think I like chrome lips. Overall though, it's a win, and I'm sure you're feeling that. And good on you for painting the calipers black.

Skyline, eh? I've always wished they'd call it a Skyline here in North America.

Samer, looks great. Love the fitment of your wheel set up. You did a great job.

I'll let you know in December I'm switching back to stocks then, im hoping i can still clear the snow with that drop; the roads are cleaned well here in london maybe only 2 times in the winter im caught driving in like 2+ feet of snow. I definitely have no problems clearing speed bumps or driveways etc..

the aggressive wheel fitment & stance are very nice

the wheel design itself is not as complementary, imo
