Thank Lee. Now we know that the best options for the x sedan is Eibach or BC or Megan coilovers. No cheapie oem options unfortunately.

kinda seems that way.i might consider installing spacers on rears as some have done to even out gap more-that way i'll still have firmer ride and with awd ground clearance can still drive over fallen trees and road kill deer-haha.with regards to springs,lots of people on here say just get coilovers-you'll end up doing it anyway,but did i listen-noooooo! too bad the s fronts weren't just a little shorter-now,where's my hacksaw!

Lee, any pics ?
Thanks as well for taking the leap! I'm also in the x-group looking for a subtle drop and had always wondered how the s-springs would turn out.

Review Installed G37S coupe springs on G37X sedan!! - MyG37

hey guys,came across this on g35driver recently.seems the 370z front springs drop the x about 7/8".the g35s rears i installed settled a bit to about 27 3/8"(3/4"drop) with a full tank.if the 370 front springs drop to 27 1/4 that would be perfect for me.if the numbers are correct it would mean that rwd s rears and 370z fronts will give the x a 3/4-7/8" drop! will do a little more research. think i might try this when the weather warms up.i must be nuts!

check out these links-hope they work

This is so ridiculous that there are no perfect oem solutions.

I agre 100%. I used to have an 07 GTI, and VW offered a lowering kit for it. It lowered the car .9 inches all around. It was perfect.

Don't forget, that front and rear springs should work together and they must be designed for each other. So, if you install front 370z springs only the car will feel less stable!

Please, describe your experience about RWD sedan springs (btw, they are the same for RWD and RWD S) on your AWD, as I might try to buy a set, because I cannot afford any drop in my country, but want a little bit stiffer suspension. How it takes the corners, what about riding fast/slow throght the potholes (i have really ROUGH roads in my town, like training roads for SUVS)?

As for me I've already installed RWD rear sway bar - huge difference and GTSpec front strut bar - a little less but still noticeble difference

What is a set of quality, respected, not bone jarring coil overs going to run me? Name?

$1000 for BC's

I do not think that BC's are known for thier quality. They are known for thier cheap price.

If Bilstein, Tein, or KW made coils for the X, i'd go that route. These would be in the $2k range (Bilsteins for my other car are about 1700 new +install).

well anytime you free up from the newborn you're more than welcome to come drive any of the sedans with the eibach pro-kits if you want to see how it handles and feels. it does drop it a bit but I honestly think you'll be fine with a slight drop

Unfortunately BC and Megan are your only options for the X. For the money they are great coilovers. Keep in mind that BC makes coilovers for Apexi and Greddy as well.

You can get them from Tein.... but they are going to have to be made custom and cost from $2000-3500.... thats what they quoted me
