Lowering a sedan

I have a 2013 g37 sedan. I'm about to put 20's on it and want to lower it to close that gap. I don't want to lose any ride quality. What's the best way to go?

Welcome to the site! Hard to beat Tein Basis Z coils for the price and height adjustment, you will probably at least need a rear camber/toe kit to keep your alignment proper depending on how low you go. The coilovers are about $500 and the camber/toe kit about $160 +labor & alignment cost.

Coil overs for only $500?! Are you sure they're good quality? If so I'm pissed I bought springs haha

I thought quality coil overs cost at least 1k.

Do they make these for a 2010 g37xs sedan?

Can I use my swifts with them? If so what would it change from using the tein springs?

The reason why the Tein Basis coilovers are so cheap is because they are an entry level coilover system with height adjustment only, no damping adjustment. To my knowledge they do not make them for AWD.


I have Ksport true type coilovers for my G37XS sedan, have had them for about 1 year/8,000+ miles and no issues whatsoever. They can be bought brand new for under $900.

Yeah, hard to beat the Ksports for you AWD guys, and they are a true coilover setup compared to the OEM separate rear spring configuration.***The Teins are only for RWDs, the front lower mount is different for AWDs.
