Awesome Mike, glad you finally have a ride you can be happy with.
Nice pic John, glad the right box "finally" showed up, can't wait for pics of both your rides.

Find me some roads in Boston area that aren't terrible!
Avoiding potholes is in my nature...

Glad you finally received them...safe & sound!
Now get them installed, so you can show them off in style during the meet!

Still I can't make it....

Grabbed some quick pis this morning on the way into work, The ride to work was very nice , NO clunking from the rear of any kind smooth and comfortable ride. There is one spot in Woburn near my work that the road is all over the place and handled it like a champ!

You can see the rear tire gap is still very small, I was 2 finger gap( pardon the description) and now is like a 2 and a quarter. So not really any different

Drop looks great, and more importantly, a stress-free (and clunk-free) drive.

tough to make chicken salad out of chicken sh*$ as they say..

That was a tough one, I feel for you. Done many regrettable mods which should never have been done like putting a VSLD into a front wheel drive which probably didn't belong. Tough lesson there.. but like they say live and learn..

Can't really tell from the pic but do you have more front gap than rear gap like me?

Mike, put the coils on eBay or Craigslist. And make sure you advertise they will fit all G37X models. You might get a bite that way.

I know they are X springs but I still have no idea why my RWD front springs sit higher than my rear and by a considerable margin at that (finger and a half). @#%$@#
