Must have Suspension Mods
I dont really ever post mostly read and learn. I purchased my 08 g37s back in December and now looking to make some modifications. Not looking to break the bank i have a play toy this is my DD just want to have some fun and will take it to the track from time to time.
I allready looked into the hotchkis sway bar upgrade this seems to be a very good investment and seems to help alot.
Now springs im a little lost here. Looked into some Eibachs. Im looking for a direct replacement dont have to be eibachs and company i want quality and perfromance i will feel.
What else?? I apologize the compact sport car world is knew to me. I do diesel drag racing.
Thanks for help and suggestions

The sway bars are incredible I hear from everyone but the springs I'm against they make the car too low ur handling won't get better at all and you'll kill your struts so if u wanna look pretty n be low n make a difference as far as handling goes.....don't be cheap and buy coilovers.stoof is the person to really get info from on suspensions he's the only g on hydrolics right now ever

Ummm you're wrong.
Lower center of gravity on springs = better handling.
Of course coils are better because you can adjust the dampening/ride height, but the springs by default will give you a better handling car.

Russel youre a retard. Im on air, not hydrolics, and im not the only one ever.
Springs will give a you a lower stance = lower center of gravity = better handling.
Stiffer the better as far as handling goes, but too stiff and youll sacrifice lots of ride comfort.
Being that this is your DD youre not gonna wanna go too stiff. You also want to look at how low you wanna go too. H&Rs are a very comfortable ride but are very low. Eibachs arent that low but the ride sucks IMHO.
Def get hotchkis sways and a GT Spec front strut bar, and maybe look into some GT Spec chassis

And if 2 large is just too much for you to justify KW Coils for DD, Tanabe Sustec's knock that in half. Honestly I can't see why folks would even consider springs with Tanabe's as an option, it's only $700 more and well worth the bucks. Half of that you'll waste on install costs when you change your mind later anyway...lol. Been there... done that.

Cheapest option: Eibach pro kit springs. I noticed the difference in handling immediately. You can do a search on the forum for feedback.
Second cheapest option: Eibach spings + sway bars. Also improvement you can feel
Then there's always coils or coils + sways. More $$$ though.

Ride quality is much better, you need to attend a meet and go for a drive with someone with Eibachs and then Coils... you'll be sold.
You'll notice it on the bumps both by feel or rather lack of feeling them as intensely on coils as well as less noise generated.
