AWD coupe struts compatible with lowering springs?
AWD coupe struts compatible with lowering springs?
Hey guys so I did some searching but couldn’t find many answers for what I’m looking for so here I am.
i recently installed swift lowering springs on my 2013 G37xS coupe about 2 weeks ago. Everything’s been fine and was happy with how things turned out. Today after not much driving I noticed the rear passenger side sagging way more than the drivers side. At first I thought maybe my ghetto *** driveway was uneven where I parked. But upon closer inspection it seems to be more than just that. Before, I could fit about 2 fingers between the wheel & fender on the rears but now on the passenger rear I can barely fit 1. If you only saw that side you’d think I was on coils or something lol.
But anyways I’m looking for a not too expensive replacement for all my struts ASAP. I looked and couldn’t find many decent options for AWD models. Ive read koni yellows are good paired with lowering springs but they’re a little out of my price range at the moment. I’ve seen KYBs are compatible with AWD G’s but would they be a good option for those on lowering springs? Not looking to get coils as the ride will be too harsh since I daily this thing in New England. Looking to have a similar ride to how it is now (paired with stock struts) but without the risk of blowing one again in the near future
thank you in advanced

Shocks/struts do not dictate ride height, if the car dropped it’s either an install issue, or a failed spring.
As for what struts to use, KYB are a great option, and I’ve personally had great luck with cheap Monroe blue as well. FYI any will work with lowering springs, as long as you’re not slammed, lol.
