Any g37x sedans dropped on tanabe NF210? might need a favor from you guys

Does anybody have this spring on the awd sedan model? Most of the cars I've seen is for the g37x coupe and i know it drops the front 1 inch. Is it safe to assume it will do the same for the g37x sedan? Also I need a favor. I don't have any tools and not really a car savy guy to this on my own. I want to make a strut spacer for the rear since the tanabe nf210 advertises 1.3 inches drop to the rear and that won't be even. I'm not even sure if this is true for the g37x sedan model. I'm willing to pay someone to actually make this for me about 5/8" of an inch thick. Give me a price. Or can someone get me exact dimensions for the triangles and the 3 holes? I can take it to a machine shop and get that made. For those of you who doesn't know what i'm talking about, check the link below.

Thx for the reply. I must have read like 50 pages of search and did not find the thread. So basically buy this below

Amazon.com: Energy Suspension 9.6120G Universal Coil Spring Isolator: Automotive Amazon.com: Energy Suspension 9.6120G Universal Coil Spring Isolator: Automotive

Then do this on the below attached picture? Sorry for my bad editing skills on the picture.

I saw lot of x sedans dropped on swift and about half of the pictures looked way dropped for my liking and others looked perfect. Where I live, we have 7 months of winter and can have 30 inches of snow in the winter.

Yep, the Teins are a pretty good budget friendly at around $600. I have the Ksport true type coilovers, got mine brand new for $850. Pretty good so far, lots of height adjustment and damping adjustment and no strange noises.

I sort of wanna set it and forget it thats why i was looking into the spring mount. Also the shops here are ridiculous. I called 2 shops and just to install springs its like 900 bills with an alignment.

900?! That's ridiculous. A simple spring install should only run you about 200 at the most.

The Swift springs are the most mild drop you're going to get and they're specifically made for the AWD cars. Making those Tanabe's work is silly. I just installed Swifts on my car this past weekend. It's a VERY mild drop. The car is my daily driver so it works out great for me.

They don't make the Teins for the AWD cars.

$900 is insane... It's a 4-5 hour job TOPS. I've done it twice now on jack stands. It should take a shop with a lift even less time.

I'll snag some tonight after I get the car washed and somewhat presentable. Keep in mind I'm on some fairly aggressive 19" wheels. I will say it's nice to finally be able to drive around like a normal person with the car raised up a bit from the old coilovers. We don't get snow like you do, but I am in Ohio.

Another question, If I drop my car on some swifts and get some 19 inch wheels, do I need to modify anything to make it fit?
