Hello all. I have a 2012 G37S sedan. Thinking about the swift lowering springs that will give me approximate toy a 1.2” drop in front and .08” in the rear. What alignment parts
must I get? Trying to avoid the upper control arm purchase.
Also, are the KYB Excel G shocks and struts a true Equivalent to the OEM shocks and struts. I do know that the sport package springs and dampers are different from stock

 

replace spring pad since you're there already

 

the spring perch pad in the rear?

 

Since you are RWD you can get better shocks and struts since you have more options. But, on my g37x I am running the KYB with swift springs and it works just fine, and do not have any issues with it, I have about 30K miles on them. If you are going to purchase them I would recommend getting them from rockauto as they are a lot cheaper, and they come with warranty from the factor, so it is easier to make a claim if something does happen to them, and you can just get a replacement part for it.

 

yes rear pad in perch along with front strut mounts

 

Did you end up doing upper control arms or anything.

 

Sorry for the really late response but yes I did do control arms for the front, and for the rear.
