How low?

How much lower does it sit than stock? I have a 2013 G37x stock. I want to lower it and put on bugger wheels but I don't want to make the ride "feel" horrible.

How did the drop affect your suspension settings? Did you do a four wheel alignment afterwards and how much did your F&R camber settings change?

Not sure exactly as I have not done the alignment.

Yes, how is the ride of the swift springs?

The first couple of days it felt rough and stiff. However, after a few days you get used to it and once everything settles it feels perfect.

After a couple of months on swifts now, I don't even feel like I have replaced the OEMs.

It just feels perfect. (you do have to watch out for speed bumps etc)
Now sure if it is just me but the rear does feel like it could use a better sway bar though.

I don't by any means want the car to be lower than it has to, mainly looking for handling to be greater.

Looks good, I lowered my 37xS on Swifts as well. I went with H&R Hubcentric 25mm Spacers all around to help flush up the stocks.

Change your shocks yet?

Mine looks identical, have you changed your shocks yet?

I think the drop is fairly nice, and the ride I got used to by now.
