maximum drop

I just received my 2011 G37 xs and I want to drop it. My question is what spring gives the biggest drop and nicest ride. I know the best way to go is a coilover setup but I don't want to do that yet. Thanks!!!!

Please realize that "biggest drop" and "nicest ride" are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Pick which you want, you can't have both.

what I mean't to say was which spring gives the nicer look while still having a "o.k." ride.

HR springs will give you the most extreme drop. Couldn't tell you how it rides since I don't own a set.

h&R'S ride great IMO but just realize it is really low. It is not 1.5 f and 1.4 rear or whatever it states, its more like 2.1 f and 2.0 r especially on the sport suspension. I dunno how the X works though. Lots of people love eibachs as well and s-techs your gunna get a a lot of mixed reviews, best idea is to search the forum there is plenty information to look at. You have a coupe right?

yup, it's a coupe. I went to H&R's website and like you said, it states a 1.5 in front and 1.4 in back. I think i'm gonna go with the H&R. You can never be to low....right? lol

for an AWD ("X") you're going to have to go with eibach to get an even drop.

Also, with H&R springs, plan to fork out for camber kits.

yup, camber kits will be a must with h&r. I waited 2 months to get them, there was no tire wear on my stock wheels, but I would def. get them unless you dont mind buying tires more often
