hi guys, new to this forum and very close to buying an 09 g37x. I want to lower it and put rims on it. My last car I lowered using just lowering springs (eibach) and it rode like a tank. Hit a pothole or bump and it would sound like the car was going to explode. I don't want to sacrifice ride quality at all, especially since this is an extremely nice car.

My question I guess is what is the best way to go about lowering the car about 1-1.5 inches or so, so that it sits flush with 19 or 20 inch rims? I don't think just aftermarket springs and factory shocks/struts will cut it. Are coilovers the best bet?

thanks in advance .

 

can u do that with the 09 G37X??? i thought we couldn't because it would mess up the AWD system.


anyways, the KW V3's seem to be the best coilover.

 

oh god, please don't tell me you can't lower g37x....I will seriously end up not buying one. I think cars look horrible with the space between tire and rim.

 

Yeah you'd have to be patient for the manufactures to test out their products with AWD system. For the RWD we have more options coming out monthly. Wheels won't be much of an issue, especially if your looking at DPE, iForged or any other custom order wheel.

I don't think lowering the car will mess with AWD, but they'll probably have to figure out a new way of dropping them successfully.

 

hey, Likes_it_low.

you could be the forum guinea pig for the AWD coupe parts

 

get you some 22 and it hides the gap completely

 

Could also make it look 4x4. We don't know if the AWD will sit a little higher in the front, as most AWD cars do.

 

just weight and see im sure something would be in production if not already

best drop as of now if ur not looking at coils, is believe it or not the eibach IMO.

 

get the KW's, some light weight Volks rims, CF hood and trunk lid, CF dual exhaust. that would be one damn nice X coupe (that's a bit lighter).

 

Lowering won't screw up the ATTESA. G35X's manage just fine when lowered.

 

I agree i wouldnt think it would mess with the awd go with the kw v3's they are some of the nicest ones on the market and super easy to ajust the drop and all ajustments!

yup, word on the streets is that the KW V3"s are the best ones out there

 

ok thanks guys...now just haveto wait for the damn dealerships to release the model.....

 

the KW V3 are limited i heard, so try to grab some up now and when you get ur G, u'll have the coilovers in hand.

 

idk in your situation i would say coilovers you can adjust to w.e you want literally ....
