2012 g37x lowering springs
Okay guys I really want to lower my 2012 g37x sedan everyone has been saying that the eibach lowering springs work even though they are just the normal RWD is this true I know it has been answered a million times I just want it make sure. If you've done it can you show some pictures. Btw I have 20's on the car and I really want to kill that wheel gap but also have a nice ride. Thank you in advance!

I was in the same predicament as you last week.
I ended up ordering swift springs, I believe from what I read here that many of the all wheel drive guys go on swift springs with just their stock shock set up. you are sacrificing a lot of ride quality with 20's. From what I gather 19's is the ideal wheel size for our vehicle if planning on doing suspension work. |

ughh I've been wanting to do the black trim..maybe in the spring! how are the 20mm spacers? handling? flush? any issues? is 20mm the recommended? and did you do 20mm all around? |

Yeah I did h&r 20 mm all around but I'm thinking 25 mm would fit it perfect. I'll go take closer up pics of it right now and post them up. No problems with them either besides the fact with most brands the lugs round off easy. So it's better to use a 6 pt socket. |

I went with 15mm spacers for Winter, thinking conservatively. In hindsight, I could have just as happily gone with 20's. |

20's feel goo as long as you have nice tires and I wanted eibach because my friend lowered his maxima and it's a very close to stock ride and I want Mine as low as his tbh my car looks like a monster truck right now
It's sitting super high and I really wanna kill that wheel gap |
Reviving an old thread but did you guys used the factory shocks and struts thanks or went with aftermarket also was there any need for camber kits |
Check the suspension forum. Lots of info there. |

Yup, I love the swifts on my G37x. I struggled with the decision before pulling the trigger. Do it and don't look back. Ride quality is shockingly good.
