G37 Convertible Lowering Database
So as the title says. I'll post up some reference posts from past lowered vehicles. If you lowered your vert please also post the pics and specs.
-What suspension are you dropped on?
-What's your ride height (the measurement from the ground to the highest point of your fender opening in the center)?
-What are your wheel and tire sizes/offsets?
-Do you rub?
-Is your drop even side to side?
For reference:
G37 Coupe stock ride height (measured from level ground to highest point of fender): Front: 28.15" sport, 28.03" non sport Rear: 27.76" sport, 27.64" non sport
It is the same I think for the vert I think Will confirm later.

this is quick phone pics.
dropped with coupe OEM rear spring
i think the stance is perfect now. I think eibach's.....they drop it too low
front: eibach pro (4months after)
driver side front height 26.3 inches
passenger side front height 26.5 inches
rear: coupe OEM spring (9days after)
driver side rear height 26.8 inches
passenger side rear height 26.9 inches
ride quality is much better then eibach..
I'm going to get the rear alignment check in next week and let you know camber specs.
quick update on 04-26-11
front: eibach pro (9months after)
driver side front height 25.9. inches
passenger side front height 26.2 inches
rear: coupe OEM spring (5months after)
driver side rear height 26.5 inches
passenger side rear height 26.7 inches
and i lost alignment spec (work sheet).they r out of specs but not too bad.
This setup evens out the eibach drop for the rear wheels I think.

woot. got my eibach's put on, and i must say i am 10000000% SATISFIED with the way my car turned out.
some info.
wheels. Vossen's CV1 Matte black/Machined. front +20 rear +42
tires. Nitto NT555 245/35 front 275/30 rears.
Rear wheels running on 15mm H&R hub spacers.
Springs. Eibach's Pro Kit 1.2 front .8 rear. PN-6388.140 made for G37 coupes. the AWD springs might work better for ride quality but these ride pretty good on the way home.
No rubbing felt at all and i think the stance is perfect the way it is right now.
before drop
after Eibach's.
overall i am happy with my wheel choice even more now that the springs have been installed, now i cant stop looking at my car.

I think I'll wait for and see what the next round of offerings look like. I am open to full sponsorship always though 
. I'll need a custom offset/width to do it properly

Hey Cereal,Do you know of anyone that has used the KW3 coilovers on a vert yet.I just purchased a set.The vert KW3's are the same kit as the coupe and the 370z.KW told me that the extra weight will not make the rear drop any more then a coupe because they use progressive spring.I have not installed then yet because I am waiting for my wheel to be built.I might go ahead and install them this week just to see how they work out.Just hate to lower it with stock wheels.

I am going to do the install this Saturday.I was going to have a friends shop do it,But I think if I do it I can spend a lot more time on dialing in the ride height.The install looks pretty easy.I think the time will be in adjusting the height.I will post some pics ans #'s next week.
