After swapping my rear Sway on my G37x to the G37s rear Sway along with installing Swift Springs, it was day/night difference. I highly suggest Swift springs if you have a 37x.

Got the sways installed today - stiff in the front, middle in the back. WOW what a difference! This definitely feels like how the car should have come stock. It doesn't feel like a "modified" car. I'd be hard pressed to say I feel much if any degradation in ride quality. Definitely happy I got this done. Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions!

My 2013 G37xs feels like a big boat as well.
What's the tradeoff if you compensate for the stiffer sway bars?
Rear tires may slide out if you push too hard or not even hard as the rest of the suspension is not set up for stiffer sway bars?
As I will not only be driving this car on regular roads, but living in Cleveland, I will be driving it on snowy, icy, crappy roads and I do not want to compromise safety.

The only tradeoff is you do have to be aware of how you drive. The back CAN slide out much easier with the stiffer bar in the rear. That said i've never had it whip out dangerously, even when driving hard.
The only other tradeoff would be ride comfort - but honestly in in the two cars i have installed thicker bars I personally haven't noticed any degradation of the ride comfort.

I was about to ask the same thing, also is anyone think it will also be an good idea to replace the shocks to along with the struts or is all this a little over kill and the sway and spring upgrade should suffice. I just dont want to waste money if its not needed lol.

KYB Shocks(340010, 340011, & 34908) and Eibach springs ( 6399.140)
Yes they were for the AWD.
I put the KYB at the same time also because I thought my stock ones were blown. The car was wiggling around and bouncing, it was pretty terrible. Now it's GREAT. car feels so stable and corners flat

Anyone else know the part numbers for the KYB shocks that fit the AWD Sedan?
Sorry bro, don't mean to knock on your response.

For the rear shock, you're missing an extra digit should be: 349089 . Also, I believe the parts you listed were based on your year (2007). I don't think the front struts are different, but KYB may have different part numbers for the 2010+ 37AWD sedans.... The rears should be ok.
