New G37x Sedan! SUSPENSION TIPS NEEDED!

Just recently picked up a 2010 G37x AWD sedan and I'M IN LOVE WITH THIS CAR!! Best purchase I've made this year for sure. I got the windows tinted immediately and I have plans on doing serval modifications to it. Only issue currently is, I cant seem to find
a good suspension kit for it. I've posted only about once or twice before about this and I'm still fairly new to the site so any help would greatly appreciated. I'm currently looking buying lowering springs just
so I can at least drop down a bit until I can find a kit that would work. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

There are no regular aftermarket shocks other than the OEM grade KYBs for the G37x.

Fortune Auto Coilovers or BC Racing Coilovers will be better in the long run. Springs take about 4 or more hours to install professionally, they are a pain because of the front and the awd interference. Coilovers just pop in, taking half the time to install, so if you're paying for labour, you're saving a few hundred right there. You will have more control and can adapt to different wheel setups or different performance needs on the fly vs being stuck at one height. Take this from someone on springs right now.

That being said, for the AWD G, there are quite a few spring choices that offer different things. Eibach has a kit, but the spring rates aren't the best and with the way our suspension is set up, they don't give an even drop. Tein lowers the car the most and are the softest springs. They bottom out easily and are not the best for performance driving. Swift is the best of both worlds, great progressive springs, comfort level close to OEM, very even drop, not too much, but just enough. As for shocks, KYB works just fine, they're the same spec as the sport model sedan shocks.

Here is what mine looks like on swifts.
