G37xS Coupe Swift Springs
Hello everybody, just wanted to share my experience with the swift springs, as their isn't many posts about the g37x coupe, but a lot about the g37x sedan. So far the springs are really nice, really loving the ride, and getting a bit used to it. The ride I actually really smooth, it is not rough until you start hitting some bumps at higher speeds, but nothing that will break your back. I installed the springs my self, and it is a PITA if you do not have anyone else to help you, specially when installing the front shocks. I did replace my old shocks as they had 87k miles on them with KYB shocks, and struts. Rather do it all at once than twice. I also highly recommend getting rear camber arms / toe bolts, but the front camber arms can be really up to you. I also have a square set up on Niche Targa with (19 x 8.5) +35 offset all around with (245/40/19) tires. So far the car looks good, haven't bottomed out, nor scrapped. If you have questions feel free to ask. Also thank you too Blnewt, Hashim, and DustU for helping me.
Before alignment with swift springs
Both my front camber was at -1.9 degrees, and toe at 0.24 degrees
RR (camber: -2.3)(toe: 0.10) LR (camber: -2.0)(toe: 0.62) (reason for it being 0.62 degrees is because I installed the toe bolt that day).
After alignment
RF (camber: -1.9)(toe: -0.03) LF (camber: -1.9)(toe: 0.01)
RR (camber: -1.50)(toe: 0.09) LR (camber: -1.4)(toe: 0.05)

Because it's my nature (for better or worse) I'm going to note the G doesn't use struts. They are separate dampers, unlike McPherson struts used on FWD cars. And anyone selling dampers for the G calling them struts is just plain wrong. It's definitely widespread but it's still wrong.
