question about springs

So I am thinking about doing a slight drop on my '12 x sedan. I would like to go around an inch max and still want a comfortable ride. With that being said how does the nismo springs compare to other aftermarket springs that are actually made for an x sedan?

I went swift with spc camber kits, they're settling in nicely. I may go coils though, a little more low would be nice.

You have the luxury of being where you don't get much snow though lol. I want something noticeable, but still be able to drive through some snow.

Swifts...the way to go low

Your answer is still the Swifts.
I'm located in New England and we get "SNOW" here during the winter...the last 2 years were breaking record snow fall of over 30" one day.

I've gone through both winters on Swifts and I've had no issues.
As long as the snow on the roads are well taken care of, then you shouldn't have any problems.

Here is a pic I just took today of my 2013 G37xS:

The Swifts are the "only" lowering springs "I" would recommend for the G37x sedan.
You can make your own decision.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the info! By the way, your tails look darker than normal. What did you go with on them? I've been looking into the bluebat overlays.

I agree, I think the swifts will give you the drop and functionality you're looking for. I got mine from Krystian over at raceconsultingagency they price matched the lowest price I found online and the shipping was free.

If post some pics but that would mean washing the car so... Hoping to get it washed over the weekend, I haven't really been home in over a month and it's not real pretty.

I purchased a set from Andy (BlueBat), but I couldn't find anyone to help me install them.
There was 2 attempts by myself and pro tinter...no good.
Andy actually sent me a custom set with more area to work with and still couldn't get it done right.

I had mine done custom...hand cut with Smoked Lumin-x film which is thicker than Andy's.
Look here for the whole story:

My rear valence CF overlay is from Andy and was installed by Rob @ Sun Stoppers.
