Third spot? Sonofabitch. :mad: If I could go back in time 17 years, I'd smack my wide-eyed, house-buying self in the head. Carry on, Robert. Welcome back to the States for as long as it lasts. LMAO! Oh yeah! Got to have a 3-car garage. :JAMIN: It's a tandem so the Z is parked in the back wider spot. No fear... I've had the wife practice fire drills where she pulls out whatever car is in front of the Z and I high-tail the Z out of the garage. :driving:

Compared to the stock sport springs, no difference. I highly recommend them.

Stock sport? I was under the impression there was only one set of OEM springs for the G37, regardless of model or options.

I thought the sport springs were stiffer.

LOL "AFAIK" I had to look that up! And I'm not 100%. I went with the sport because I wanted the big brakes. Could've care less on the OEM suspension since I knew it was getting replaced.

Here, I fixed that for you, Robert. Glad to help.

so then there are no such thing as sport springs on the G37? I have a G37x sedan so does that mean my springs are the same as the G37xs and G37S??

All I'm getting from Infiniti's site is "Sport Tuned Suspension." None the less... You'll enjoy the Swift Springs!
