I just bought a used 2011 G37s sedan and I'm interested in lowering it slightly and buying some new wheels. I see a lot of people using lowering springs and others opting for coilovers. What's the best way to give my G the stance it deserves without sacrificing ride quality/handling? I'd also be interested in wheel recommendations.

 

I think Tein Street Basis are the best for comfort if you have a RWD car. I have them and they are very comfortable. No dampening, re-use your stock hats. If that doesn't bother you and all you want is a drop, they are great. Hell they don't even cost much more than just springs. https://conceptzperformance.com/tein...s2_p_27211.php

 

Swift springs would be the best springs for sure! under $300 shipped.

BC coils are very popular..

Tein flex z is the best budget coilovers for comfort and street. Would not do basis as you don't get any adjustments. For a better quality ride checkout KW coilovers

 

As a follow up question to this, I currently have a 2009 G37S sedan RWD running on Eibach pro springs. I wanted to switch to coilovers for better ride comfort and the ability to adjust ride height. I was considering the KW variant 3 but I read that the ride height is very low even at the highest setting and I would need spacers for the rear coilover. Is it true that the KW V3 height will be even lower than the eibach springs even at max height with the rear spacers? If so, what would be another option for better ride comfort compared to the eibach pros with the ability to change ride height to just slightly higher than the eibachs?

 

Hard to find coilovers that will be more comfort-oriented, w/ the exception of Tein Basis the rest have firmer spring rates. If comfort is your priority go w/ Tein Basis or Swift lowering springs. Unless you go w/ something in a custom spring rate I think you'll be disappointed w/ other choices if comfort is priority one. Keep in mind that comfort will come at a cost, the ride will have more of a bouncy/loose feel in some situations vs. stiffer springs/coilovers that will be more of a jarring but more controlled feel.

 

where do you get the springs for $300, I need some

 

@Kams1 This is an older thread, so I'm not sure Josh will respond.

Note that Z1 has them for $330: https://www.z1motorsports.com/spring...hoC2Q0QAvD_BwE
