Help Please! Lowering Springs for 2012 non sport sedan
what's up guys? I went though this entire sight and couldn't find much about recommendations on springs for a 2012 sedan non sport.
not looking for anything too aggressive, just want a bit better handling without having to get a camber kit...
any ideas? anyone have a setup they love?
thanks in advance

My G37S sedan is RWD and not AWD. The G37S springs are not similar at all to the Non-Sport Journey model.
G3FEEZY you state you want better handling? You'll get slightly better handling if you use lowering springs but if you don't upgrade your tires or wheels your handling will not improve much. The S models get larger wheels, staggered and come with much stickier rubber, albeit, summer performance tires which dramatically improve the cars overall handling. From the research I did here on this forum I found that the majority of lowering springs drop your car 1.25" to 1.50" in front and 1.0" to 1.25" in the rear. There are other springs that can lower the car more but I don't think that's what you want. Eibach, Swift & H&R springs seem to be a popular choice among users on this forum. Hope this helps. I went the Eibach route and I am having them installed today. Will post pics later on. (The text below was taken from the infinitiusa.com website)

That was awesome! Thank you for taking the time!
I wish I had the extra dough to get the sport! This is my 3rd G and the first non sport. Honestly, it's not that bad in comparison! But definitely noticable in the steering wheel.
I plan on getting some 19's in the future, but the springs are a quick upgrade within my budget.
Thanks again!
