Just an update on this. I changed my rear springs out from 12K to 20K (BC GTR Coilover rear spring) and the height is now perfect for me. The damping was adjusted from the stiffest to 4 clicks from the stiffest setting. No noises also.

cereal2k....I read you installed the "2 x SPC Rear Camber Cam Bolts (350Z / G35)". Did this help any with the rear camber issues?

Not that much. It allows maybe less than 1 degree of adjustability. It's more for the toe. Only with raising the height with coilovers, and I'd suggest 18-20k rear spring rate (or getting custom camber arms made like one member did) can you get near to the spec for camber.

Does anyone know anything about the KW Coils (variant 1 or 3) for the vert?

I've seen one part site (which mysteriously seemed to vanish now) listing the variant 1 as a fit for the 37 vert, but no other sites make the distinction between regular coupe and convertible.

I've also read somewhere that variant 3's are the way to go if you ever hope to track it (which eventually I might).

Nothing against BC, I'm sure they are fine, I've just read some stuff about them making noise. Cost is not a concern, I just want quality coils and that darn ride height/camber issue fixed in the rear that I caused by putting eibach lowering springs and 20in wheels on it.

Thanks for any help!

Kw V3 is not compatible, despite what any website listing may say. I'd call or email kw regarding v1, but no one has posted anything with regards to kw v1.

Any progress on the ideal lowering setup? The one critical, visual element that needs immediate addressing is the wheel gap/ride height. I'm looking for the most cost effective way to bring her down, keep camber ideal and put some larger wheels on her.

Read through the above thread. Anything new?

KSport has Vert coilovers, so drop about 1.5", use the 4 bolt SPC rear camber/toe bolt kits and you should have a nice drop w/ camber & toe in spec in back, toe in spec in front and a bit out of spec in front camber, but should still get OK tread wear since your toe will be good. There are NO front camber arms for your convertible that I'm aware of.
KSports are about $850, camber/toe bolts $50, alignment $125, so if you DIY the install you can get it done for about $1125 + tax.
Here's the coilovers, and TH is a site vendor
Ksport Kontrol Pro Damper System; Camber Plates Not Included INFINITI G37
Here's the bolt kit, and you need 2 kits
SPC Performance Camber/Toe Cam Bolt Kit; Pair, Reqr's 1 per Wheel INFINITI FX35

Will that be a custom Koni H&R application, if not, please provide part #s. Any vert lowering options are so few & far between any info will help

H&R Sport Springs Infiniti G35/G37


H&R specific springs for the convertible (53030-2)

And I spoke to a vendor on here about KONI yellows for the convertible and I was told it was available for it as well.

Great news about the springs, I'll post up a separate thread on them (giving you credit )
Can't confirm on the Konis, they still only list coupe as the only Infiniti G application (although they work on RWD sedans too)

If you can get any confirmation w/ part #s from your vendor that would be great.

Great info. Thank you. I'm hoping to get low enough to be ideal. No scrape scares. But, less gap. The vert, in all its absolute beauty, seems a bit tricky on this front. Glad to see there are a few potential options.

Note spc front camber arms work.

From the a pillar up to the front bumper all mods for the coupe will work.

I think all sways will work too.

The a pillar back, the vert strut is shorter, and the design is different. So vert specific coilovers needed. And no vert specific camber arms are desiged for the rear. And there likely won't be.

Cereal, you need to stop by more often to keep this info accurate, lol.
It got lost in my head regarding the front camber arms, thanks for clearing that up.
