But yes it does look good dropped!!! Did you have to change out upper or lower arms?? do you rub any??
No I did not have to change the arms. I'm just waiting for coilovers and my wheels to come out to get my car professionally aligned. And I don't rub at all.

It caught my eye cause it was another IP G37 like mine and it looked lowered.

Great looking ride homie, congrats...

Dude, where did you get the springs & where did they get installed?
I usually buy my things for my cars from Options Auto Salon, but I haven't seen anything for the G37 yet...

I'm in Miami, Don't know any other G37 people so let me know about hang outs & sh*t like that around our way...

I'm also planning on 20's, maybe Volks, but first thing I need is to lower this bad boy, I had Tein Springs on my TL so there defenatly a good way to go to lower while you wait for the coilovers to come out.

Let me know about the install, I gotta drop her ASAP.
Yep yep that had to be me. I went to HIN on Sat night. Alot of people were starring at my car while I was driving in front of the convention center as if they've never seen a G37 before...let alone dropped, LOL!!!

But anyways I got the springs through my friends shop called ESR Performance located in Hialeah.

And about the hangouts...The only place that I know of where you can hangout with other G35's and my G37 is at Tower Shops up in Broward every Friday night. PM me your cell number and I can give you a call and give you more details.

it could be a bad thing or a good thing. the bad is that if it gets too low, you will have to get a camber kit and do an aligment or your shocks will blow out later on. good is if you like your car low, than there you go.

Misinformation here.

Yes, those springs will settle and unless he gets coilovers soon where he can raise it a tad, im sure he will encounter something somewhere he will have trouble going over. Camber kits are only used to align high negative camber back to stock specs. If you leave your car slammed like that, without the addition of camber arms, the insides of your tires will wear VERY quickly and you will chew thru tires as if it was in style. As far as your shocks blowing, that is always exaggerated. Yes , when a car is dropped, the shocks are susceptible to much faster wear than normally because of the more rapid suspension rebound the shorter springs cause. This though is exaggerated amongst enthusiasts, as it takes a good 30-50K miles of slammedness before it really starts taking its toll. Also, after 2-3 weeks, the springs should have fully settled and by that time a new alignment will be necessary. Of course they wont be able to bring back your camber, but caster and toe can usually be brought back to OEM specs. If infact you dont align your car after a drop, I assure you ride quality will start to go to sh*t and your tires will start to feather and wear irregularly.
