So, here's the update on this. I've been doing some searching on this, and came across a post on this board, where a guy installed 370z springs in the front and G35S springs in the back on a G35X sedan.



https://www.myg37.com/forums/g37-sed...ternative.html

I decided to go outside, and measured the distances the same way as it was done in the post above, from top of the arch down to the ground through the centerline of the wheel. Front measured at 27.75, rear measured at 27.50, so this means that 370z springs would have done nothing for this car.

I have swifts and I'm fine without camber kit. Last tires lasted 30k miles on them with two alignments

I don't think the sport model is lower. I literally was just looking at a g37 and g37s parked side by side about 2 hours ago and neither seemed lower than the other.

According to the factory martial I read some time ago, sport package was supposed to be 1 inch lower than non sport models

You're a lucky SOB! What sort of tires out of curiosity? I didn't make it 10K miles on the stock Bridgestones and I'm not even lowered a full inch. .9" up front and .7" out back. I needed front and rear camber arms.

+1

Although I'm on Pilot Super Sports, and I'm getting 12-13K out of them (they are rated for 15k). The inner blocks have about 1/32 additional wear on them.

Is this factory height with 19's? I'm trying to pick up a pair and was concerned what they would look like before a drop. This looks pretty damn good still... if that's the case, maybe I'll just leave it for now with the new wheels.
