I contacted Fortune Auto regarding coilovers for the X. This was the response Chris from Fortune Auto gave me.

At the moment we do not have a G37X application, but we will be developing them shortly. We dont have any solid numbers as far as adjustment range.

Lisa, could you do a follow up in a week or so on whether your springs settled more or not in the back.

Does anyone have ideas on camber numbers after a swift or eibach spring install and whether camber arms (or toe bolts) are needed?

The group buy is to help them begin the development for the 37X application. In all honesty, these will be the best option us X guys have for coilovers, I can guarantee that.

Swift springs won't settle much, if any. I think mine may dropped 1/16" if that. I measured close to the same amount of drop as I did on install day. I was able to get an alignment and keep everything in spec. If you wen't with an H&R or an Eibach product, I'd recommend a camber kit.

I love the look dragion. Are you running 20mm spacers all around as well? It seems that Swift is the best route to take for anyone that doesn't want the car to look obviously lowered. This is the way the car should have looked stock.

Lisavaccz, I'm sorry you had a bad experience. I hope all gets taken care of because your G looks great. And like others have mentioned, the springs won't settle but the rubber bushings will compress a 16th of an inch, at most.

What camber specs did you get with the swift springs?

connoisseurr has Swift springs for the AWD, but research on Swift springs for the RWD have led me to expect -1.1 degrees.

So looks like the swifts are a good choice isle you want just a mild drop.
Any thoughts on putting these on the stock shocks and struts @60k?
Nice Dragion glad to we another MA modded sedan

Any time you lower the car with aftermarket springs, you compromise the lifetime wear of OEM struts and end links. So either you replace things as needed when needed, or you install CO's and stronger, adjustable aftermarket end links. It just is what it is... I wouldn't obsess over it, because nothing is going to wear overtly right away.

That's my rationale, and I'm sticking to it.
