Mine are going on as we speak. I'll try to post a pic and some first impressions when I get off work. It may be dark though, so pics may have to wait until tomorrow.

In the limited time I've driven with them on, they do not feel any harsher than the stock springs. I couldn't really tell a difference with body roll but I already had sways installed so that may be affecting my perception (going from stock to Hotchkiss sways is in incredible btw...totally different). I did notice decreased squat during acceleration/braking.

I went ahead and got an alignment at the same time and my front camber is out of spec by about .5 degrees negative on both sides. Everything else was in spec. I plan on getting another alignment done in a few weeks to see where it's at then and depending on the numbers I may get a front camber kit. But I can probably live with .5 degrees if everything else stays in spec.

All in all I'm very pleased with the springs. They look 10x better than the SUV look the stock G37x has and I can get in my driveway without scraping!

Looks very good. It seems the guy in the other forum had a bigger drop. Maybe they will settle is some more.

Now you just need some spacers

I thought the same thing, but couldn't tell if it was bc his car is black so it's difficult to differentiate car from gap or of it is indeed lower. We shall see.

I agree it could use spacers but I doubt I'll do that.

That's how they should have been from the factory...looks good.

When I get time, I'm gonna get them for mine...been traveling for work lately so I haven't had time.

Thanks a LOT for the posts!!! Your Sedan looks really good, and I like the front chin spoiler, rear decklid spoiler, midnight black grille, and wheels you've got too, very clean Sedan and the Graphite Shadow is a sick color as well

Thanks for all the info mikejg. i've got 370/g35rwd springs on my 09x sedan but don't care for the harsh ride from the 370 front springs.was following another thread on here about these springs and based on your input i must have them! if it's not too much trouble could you get us the measurment from ground to fender on f+r once they have settled? nice sedan btw.

Thanks for the kind words. I'll post some measurements when they settle a bit.

Looks fantastic, mikejg! The whole package looks very clean, just like it should have come from the factory. Tastefully done.

Nice stance! I'm contemplating on doing the exact same thing to my G. Keep us updated on the ride quality as the springs settle.

Just an FYI, just got mine installed. I am in love. Springs are amazing. Mild drop and way better ride than oem springs.

Looks good. I can't tell from the picture, but is it dropped evenly? Also, do you need any camber correction kits or can you correct it enough with the stock adjustments?

Nice! Post more pics in the sun, I would like to see the gap. Do you plan on putting spacers.
