Best Springs for fronts only?

Hi, looking to drop the front a bit on the g37s vert. Anyone know the best front springs to go with without having to buy camber kits? Did some research and swift or eibach seem to be the top 2 and just keeping the rears stock.

if you have pics of this setup please post, thanks!

If you want a real mild drop of about 0.5-0.75 inch up front then get some OEM 370z springs

Don't change spring heights and rates on one end of the car and not the other. That's not how it works. It'll ride and handle like garbage.

I agree. You will likely sacrifice some serious driveability going this route.
Go through cereal2k's build thread and see all the options he went through - should give you some good ideas.

The vert is a tough one regarding suspension since it's weight is beastly vs. anything else in the Infiniti & Nissan lineup, closest curb weight would be the GTR.

Black Betty gives good advice, might look into a coilover set that will drop the least amount, but keep in mind many sets drop quite a bit even at their highest settings, so it will take a bit of research.

thanks all! yea i was planning to go the coilovers route but thought the back drop on the vert is fine, just the front looks like it needs a little drop like 1 inch.

I have front swift springs for sale
Lowers about and inch spring rate is 10k perfect for the verts extra weight.

^^^^Could always give it a try & if you can do the labor you won't be out much if it doesn't work as well as you hoped.

Yep. That would be a budget way to give it a go.
Also, 1" on the vert is A LOT. You front will be noticeably lower than the rear.

Mine looked like a shackled up 70's street rod with just the front lowered.

I have 2013 Ipl vert and am considering mild front only drop and keep rear stock. Anyone try Tanabe nf210 in front only? Seems like a lot of the coupe guys that only want a mild front drop are doing that. I think the rear wheel gap of the ipl vert is ok with some spacers.

Keep in mind the Tanabe has the lowest spring rates, so combined w/ the highest curb weight of the vert you'll be bottoming out those front dampers often.

19s with NO CAMBER KITs.
Front - Eibach pro-kit springs
Rear - G37S COUPE OEM springs

I think it sits evenly with front and rear. I think it gave me about an inch drops on both. Maybe a bit more. I like it .
