Buying springs but don’t know what I need to buy with them

Hi guys I am buying springs for my G37S since I have to bring it up abit. And I didn’t know what I needed to buy . My car is already lowered but way too low and I believe it has camber kits but not sure if those camber kits would fit. Do I just order the springs or do I need to order the one with sway bars.

you only need the springs if you're just changing the ride height

We need to know what you have installed currently. How low is it and how much height are you looking to get? Can you get pics of the front and rear springs as well as the control arms?

Are you running factory struts and just the springs just swapped out? If so then get some OEM springs or look into spring isolators.

Do you have coilovers installed? If it's the true style and not OEM (rear springs are in a spring bucket not on the strut) you may be able to adjust the height without replacing anything depending on how high you want it.

Sway bars do nothing for the height of a vehicle.

i think it’s on springs right now but I’m probably going to have to go into a shop and ask them to check what brand they are because I have no idea what is installed.

If they're red, they're Swift. If they're green, they're Tein. If they're black/gunmetal, they'e Eibach.

Thought you said it was a g37? unless they put 350Z springs on there lol. (or if you just gave a general link to similar springs) Thats a steep price. if the car was AWD, then yeah, its a tough job on the front, but rwd, no way! Seeing as you posted a tdotperformance link, are you in Toronto? if so, may I ask what shop quoted you that much? thats insane.

its a g37 not sure if those are the same ones but that number is on the springs. It’s a rwd. I’m going to buy them from tdot performance but I had asked the shop how much they will charge if I buy them from them.

Ah, well, with the parts included, thats still a steep price. My swift springs with an AWD car cost about 400 to install and at the time 400 for the springs themselves from TougeTuning https://tougetuning.com/product-cate...uspension-g37/ RWD install is like 1/3 the time and effort that the AWD requires. Might need to find a different shop. Guess the ones on your car are these ones: https://conceptzperformance.com/hr-s...030_p_4230.php

H&R is 1.5" front drop and 1.4" rear, swift are 1.3" front and 1.0" Rear. The drop is a lot more even.
