lowering springs

Hey guys i just bought a 08 g37s coupe. I was wondering what recommondations you guys would have for lowering springs for my car. i'd like to drop it around a avg. of a inch and a half. I'm currently a college student so i'm a little tight on money. your suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks Guys

I don't like to be that guy, but you will get grilled for not using the search feature. However, I have an 08s IP and lowering it was my first major mod. I used ARK springs which have provided a great drop - about 1.5 in the front, about 1.25 in the rear. They have been on my car for about 2 months now and the ride is very close to stock but gives it a much more aggressive stance...




sorry for the bush league pics. This is when they were first installed. The springs have settled in more from when the photo was taken. I will get a better one up soon1

If you are "tight" on money I'd just worry about keeping your student loan debt low and being able to survive. Be glad you have a nice car for college. I knew a lot of people driving around a POS.

Any set of spring will set you back only about $200-$250 at the most. Lurk around the classifieds section for used springs if you want to go the cheapest route. Eibach, Swift and H&R are the most common with Swift being the "best" and H&R having the lowest drop.

Now use the SEARCH!!! Dammit!

I recommend Swift. Very nice drop with ride quality close to stock.
