Kind of a bad pic to see the true wheel cool. Regardless though, thanks man, I wanted to do something different then all the G's I've seen around here.
Do you need to compress the new front spring to install or it is short enough to fit in the strut? Also I have a 235/55/17 rim/tire combo. Swift spring is my next mod, since you have a larger rims, the over all diameter of the tire is the same as my setup right ? So the wheel gap will be the same just my setup has more rubber diameter???
Here is my 2015 Q40 aka G37x Sedan on 235/55/17 rim/tire combo setup. I am sticking with 17" rims (lighter rims)

Does this video pretty much the same as the G37?

You will have to compress the springs to install (and I recommend compressing when you remove too, some just remove the top nut and let the spring fly when removing but IMO there's a lot that can go wrong there). As far as that video, it's similar but the front lower mount is different w/ AWD Gs.
You're correct about the actual tire gap, the outside diameter will be similar so the gap will be the same. As you go to bigger & bigger wheels the gap appears to increase but it's an optical illusion. BTW, those 17s look pretty good on your G, er Q

Our customers are loving the Swift Springs for their G37x. They noticed an improvement in handling and are in love with the drop. If anyone is interested.. we are having an introduction sale right now..

Humm, not seeing any lowering springs for a G37 at all in your site.
I installed the Swifts on my G37xs and after 2 weeks the driver's side is at least a 1/4" lower than the passenger side.I rechecked everything a couple days ago,wheels off and it looks identical on both sides. A little less than 2 fingers on pass side barely more than 1 finger driver's side.Can you check yours and see if it's like mine? Thanks
What up guys. Just did a swift spring install on my 2013 g37x sedan. I want all you to know that are looking to do this, it's cake. That's if you are somewhat mechanically inclined, have access to air tools, rent the free autozone spring compresser, and a buddy. (Be careful using the spring compresser) It took us an hour and 40 minutes. A lot easier than expected after reading these other installs, don't let it scare you.. Perfect ride height, a little stiffer, no rubbing. If anyone has any questions I'll be happy to help. Tip: (on the front) You CAN take the whole strut out instead of using the spring compressor on the car, after taking the nuts off the strut tower, and the bolt off the bottom control arm, then the bolt off the upper control arm. You can lift up on the upper control arm and down on the rotor to give you more clearance in getting the strut out. Make sure you don't snag the brake line or sensor. On the rear, it's only one bolt per each side. Jack the car up, take the wheel off, put another jack under the spring ,take off the bolt, lower the jack and its out. Hope this helps someone.

Just installed swift springs
Hey Guys. I installed my swift springs last night rear took 30 minutes if that. The fronts I had a lot of trouble getting them in. Has anyone else had a little bit of a tough time getting the strut and spring combo back in after putting the new spring on the oem strut? All in all front and rear done in 2 and a half hours. Alignment after was about another hour couldn't get back into spec completely. Just the camber is off at this point but it's as close to spec as we could get it. Any feedback on if it was a little tough to get the struts back in is appreciated.
