Lowering Kits

Just picked up a 2010 G37xs Sedan was wondering if anyone knows if this model can be lowered and if so what manufactures of springs support this model, haven't found any.

There no springs specifically made for the X, but many have installed the Eibach Sedan RWD prokit springs on a g37x or g37xS without any problems. Many suggest you get a camber kit as well.

If you do a search you will find many posts regarding this...

which kit will be closest to stock comfort with slight drop...Living in the nOrthEast makes it hard to have that real low drop..

Eibach is a very mild drop and VERY comfortable ride. If you are not looking to go coilovers then the Eibach PK is your best bet

what benifits would there be if I went with coilovers opposed to the Eibach PK? would that installation still require a camber kit?

they are totally different things...the Eibach PK is just the springs, coilovers are springs+struts.

High end coilovers can independently adjust the spring rate remotely, among other things...but coilovers are MUCH more expensive than the Eibach kit ($200 vs $1500-$3000)

it's hit or miss with a camber kit...I have Eibachs and don't need a camber kit, some do

Thanks for all the feedback gents, I'll give the Eibachs a shot, I've ordered Vossen rims just looking for the best way to go Lowering wise, I'll post some pic's when it all comes together.

Does Eibach offer a sport and pro version for G37sedan? I thought I remembered there being a sport line that was even more mild than pro kit...or am I confusing them for another brand...I'd definitely look into the sport kit for an even milder drop and comfort(daily drive + live Northeast)

The Eibach kits are just springs, so there is no need to change out the shocks/struts. If you want to mess with those things get coilovers.
