G37 Coupe Coilovers

Hey guys,
I have a 13 G37 IPL and am getting new wheels and tires for it but want a better fit when I get them so I’m browsing coilover options as well. I’ve been told my struts are worn so I’d rather just get coilovers as opposed to lowering springs but I daily my car so I’m looking for something with a somewhat forgiving ride and am only looking to lower it between 1” - 2” depending on how it looks. I do not track my car nor plan on doing so but added performance is always welcome. I’ve looked into the BC racing BR series coilovers and have heard about Fortunes as well just not sure what to go with. Any input is appreciated!
Thanks

Im trying to keep it under $2k. I’ve been looking in the $1k-$1.5k range thus far but if there was something with a drastic ride quality difference in terms of comfort or other features I liked or just quality of the product I would pay more.

Currently running BC BR on my Sport. Rides well and good adjustability when it comes to height/stiffness but it clunks a lot especially during the cold weather. Not really noticeable during the summer but I read that this is normal though??

Comfort is not a priority for me so no comments on that. Pretty happy so far!

What exactly do you mean when you say it “clunks” a lot?
Thanks for your input!

We can hook you up with a set of BC coils or BC with Swift is another popular option.

What’s your opinion on them for someone that wants comfort but still performance just not on a tracking level?

I ordered the basic TEIN coilovers myself. I don't really need anything fancy right now as my G is my daily. But honestly anything on Stillen is great. I grabbed their gen 3 long tube intakes and break kits and they've been great. Quality product, right sizes with all hardware needed, and amazing customer service plus free shipping.
I'm planning to get their supercharger soon once I have another car for daily.

Also, you mentioned you're not sure how low you want the car, these are adjustable so theyre a much better choice then lowering springs.

Take a look at the pinned Sedan RWD coil-over thread and be prepared to be stunned at the number of options available. Coupe and sedan RWD are identical when it comes to suspension so that long list is applicable to you.

My experience is with MeisterR which were developed for the Z so I find the 10k/8k spring rates a tad soft on our heavier cars but work fine if you want a stockish ride. They're adjustable so you can dial in the amount damping you want. I have mine ever so slightly stiffer than stock Sport ride.
