Does this look like it's been lowered?

I purchased as used G37S and am thinking of lowering it. However, sometimes it looks to me like it's already been lowered just a little bit. Does it look like this to anyone else?

IMO ... Yes. Mine hasn't been lowered so it looks clearly different.

Gio37 Jan 26, 2014 01:25 PM

Yes, it seems to be lowered.

mostdope763 Jan 26, 2014 01:29 PM

Yep. Lowered. What kind of springs?

Dave123 Jan 26, 2014 01:34 PM

Mostdope I don't know what kind of spring. Is there a way to tell?

socketz67 Jan 26, 2014 01:55 PM

I like the way it looks as is...what color are the springs? Maybe we can guess the brand.

Dave123 Jan 26, 2014 02:06 PM

Socketz, I can't really get under the car right now to look. I'll take a look later. Yeah, I don't mind the look of it now, but I'm thinking of getting 20" wheels and I've been told they will look ridiculous on a car that hasn't been lowered. So I wanted to make sure mine is low enough to look good with 20" wheels.

Voleduy Jan 26, 2014 02:20 PM

I'm pretty sure it will look just fine with 20"

What brand of wheel are u considering?

Dave123 Jan 26, 2014 02:42 PM

Voleduy, there are many that I am considering:

Stance SC-5ive
Vossen CV3
Vossen CV5
Avant Garde m550
Avant Garde m350
InCurve IC-S5
Vertini Monaco
Concept One CS-5.0

I am just starting the process of deciding. As you can see I am partial to 5 spoke wheels. If you (or anybody else) has suggestions, I am open.

Thanks!

I think your tires may have too much sidewall. Can you read the tire sizes on them please?

macintos Jan 26, 2014 03:42 PM

That would be one way to get rid of the gap. ha

Dave123 Jan 26, 2014 03:43 PM

G37 Sam. They're Blizzacks. Front is 225/45R/19. Rear is 245/40R/19. What does this tell you?

2008G-Man Jan 26, 2014 05:18 PM

Those are Winter tires (aka snow tires) ... you will need to change them out once the weather gets above 40 degrees on a regular basis.

Dave123 Jan 26, 2014 05:32 PM

G-man. Thanks, yep I'm aware that they are snow tires. This is why I am looking for wheels to use for the other 3 seasons so I don't have to keep swapping out the tires. I was just wondering if the specs on the snow tires leads anyone to change their opinion on whether my car is lowered or not.

blnewt Jan 26, 2014 07:33 PM

Those are teh correct tire sizes for your 19" rims, drop looks to be in the Eibach range, should look just fine w/ 20s.
