Stock Coupe springs on a X sedan

I want to lower my '11XS Sedan but not too much. I'm wondering if there is any lowering benefit in putting stock coupe springs in my X sedan? It seems the people who put aftermarket coupe springs in a Sedan wound up too low, so I'm thinking stock for stock there will be some drop, or am I wrong?

I swapped out my OEM X springs for coupe sport springs. Dropped it about a half inch. Search for my pics.

I'm interested in this myself. I searched for your post and found it here: https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...on-a-g37x.html

Do you happen to have OEM part numbers for the front and rear coupe springs?

Thanks for the replies. bat6wc your car looks like the perfect low cost compromise to me. It looks like more than 1/2" to me. Chicago roads can be rough, and the curb in front of my house is HUGE. Are sport package springs any stiffer than standard springs?

I didnt really notice any change in drive-ability. Swifts are stiff in my opinion. Same with Hotchkis Sways.

St. Louis roads are just as bad!

coupe s on the fronts, sedan s on the rear.

there are a couple threads on g35driver (07+ Sedans) with members using a full 370z spring set up.

the one thing I remember is that the V35 springs wont work.
