I was told not to do this as the G35 springs were intended for hte weight of the G35 not the G37. I think it is safer to wait, unless you must have your car lowered for some reason.

I'm not sure if additonal 36Lb/corner makes big difference in height using lowering springs intended for G35. Basically G37 is about 144Lb havier than G35 which distributed on all four coners unless the weight ration between the front and rear has been significantly revised from G35.

G35:3524LB
G37:3668LB
Delta: 144Lb (36Lb/corner)

I'm still considering the Tein S.Tech spring which may not be too bad.

I want to see pictures of lowered G37.

I guess bc mine has 4WAS it makes it heavier by a little bit more. I was told that it is near 100lb per corner extra on mine over the 35??

that's a pretty severe drop if 1.5-2 inches is accurate. i'm looking for about an inch to avoid needing a camber kit.

the rear does tuck but the body line of the car has a slight rake so the front does sit a little lower then the rear but the way the rear fender is cut it makes the rears tuck. the ride quality is still good no problems at all.
