Need help for suspension

Hey everyone, i just bought a 2011 g37x sedan. I've put 19s on it and now I really don't like the way it sits(there's a 4 finger gap between the fender and the tire!!!). I wanna buy aftermarket springs and since it's really high, I was considering h&r super sport springs. My worry is that they don't seem to have any available for a g37x sedan...is there another model that could fit mine? Or what is the best alternative for my problem?

Hi Carl, welcome to the site!
Your problem is a common one, the Swift lowering springs are a good choice if you just want to lower your G on the mild side. This has a couple advantages, the drop is mild enough that you might not need any additional camber/toe kits to keep your alignment close enough to factory spec to get reasonable tire wear.

Also, keeping the drop mild will result in a ride that's closer to your factory ride, the lower you go typically will result in a firmer/harsher ride.

Your AWD has the transfer case to deal with so you don't want to drop it too low, putting it in harms way.

Here's a big review thread on the X sedan on Swifts

Thabks for the reply blnewt! I also talked with a friend and he has g35x eibach springs to sell. He told me that they would fit a g37x as well, is this right?

And my tires size is 245/40ZR19

If he's running them on a G35X sedan they will fit, I believe the G35 X coupes were all 1st generations, so they wouldn't work.

Also keep in mind the G35X had the 5AT transmission, the 7AT weighs about 140 pounds more, so expect the front to be about 1/3 to 1/2" lower on your G.
