Sedan on Coupe Struts and Coupe Eibach pro kit

Just thought this would be useful for some out there. I have a 2010 G37 RWD sedan and I decided to take a risk and try out a set of Coupe eibach springs pre mounted on Coupe OEM Struts (Rwd model of course), Thanks to Kevalteam.

Here is the results, I will say this and I wonder if you all feel the same...but from looking on this forum at pro kit installs it seems that the sedan kit drops the rear more than the front. With this setup I noticed the front is lower... which I like a lot. Hopefully some of you feel the same and have found another option to lowering now.

No noise, no binding, no boucing...the ride is smooth. Enjoy!

Looks awesome! Told you those coupe springs would work. Have you had it aligned yet?

You are a pioneer my friend. So much is know about the compatibility of coupe/suspension parts on the 1st gen, but there is a black hole when it comes to the 2nd Gen cars cross compatibility. That drop is perfect in my opinion. Looks similar to the drop on Swift springs.

I think it's deeper than swift, Atleast upfront. The top of my tire is eclipsed by the fender line.

Man! Kevalteam has his mitts in everything lol. Looks really good! I might look into this as another option for a decent drop. Is this more of a drop than sedan eibachs? Does anyone know what, if any, difference there is between coupe and sedan eibachs on a sedan application? What advantage does this setup offer over sedan struts with sedan eibachs?

I think there may be some spring rate differences but its minimal, it may be that they are already pre-settled. I like the feel though.

Sure does look great tho, it's a perfect drop for a sedan running 19's.

Actually, I kind of like how the fronts are a little tucked. Keep us posted on how the alignment turns out.
