Lowering an AWD

Hello all,

I currently own a 2010 G37x non sport.

I am more than likely looking to lower my car, however, I do not want to void any warranty that I have with my dealership.

Also, I have read some forms that said it is bad for the AWD system. Is this true?

Thanks

It won't void the warranty but if a suspension component were to go bad it could get complicated. Won't cause any AWD issues except having the transfer case closer to the ground which may be a problem if you drop too low.
A mild Eibach, Tanabe, or Swift spring drop should be pretty easy to live with on a daily driver.

Thanks for the links. I spoke to you before about my wheels. I am looking to lower now, which means, I will be looking for 20 inch wheels now...

Could you give me the best lowering kit to run on an AWD with 20s in the summer, yet the standard 18's in the winter... Thanks man. Youre the biggest help

I have 20s and Eibach pro kit springs on my g37x coupe. I haven't scraped and only got rear camber and toe kit. Fronts are not in specs but pretty close

What do you mean by in specs?
