S-Tech Tein Springs on G37x (AWD) ?

So this guy I know has a '12 G37xS sedan dropped on S-tech springs which are for the RWD. He said he has had no issues with it whatsoever. The drop looks much better than springs made specifically for the AWD like Eibach, which tends to have the rear sit lower than the front. So I was just wondering, would this setup be safe to run with spacers?

Reference, his car:

Just to clarify, Eibach has not made or tested any springs for the X sedan. The springs they have listed for the G37X are for the coupe/convertible, which is why you don't get an even drop.

Also, are you it looks better than the Eibachs? Because to me it defiantly looks like the rear is sagging quite a bit verses the front.

S techs are a pretty deep drop for the AWD, especially if you're dealing w/ snow on a regular basis. Swift seems to be the perfect recipe for the X models, plus you'll need a full camber/toe kit w/ S techs, should be able to keep your stock camber/toe pieces w/ the Swifts (save you about $500 + the labor.)

The reference picture looks like the car is sitting lower in the rear compared to the front.

It maybe that the drop is the same front and rear, however our front fenders have a larger gap to begin with.

With swifts the fender gap looks the same front and back.

i have swift springs on my g37x sedan and i had to get a camber kit to get the alignment within specs. the front on all awd sedans sags compared to the front. My car is the same right now, the front has a 2.2 negative camber and the rear is completely fine. i'm ordering tein s springs to replace the rear springs to level the drop hopefully it helps.

I've had a '12 G25X for 9 months and lowered it on Eibach's - bad mistake the back definitely sags more than the front - looks turrible. I'm switching to Swift's...lesson learned.

A camber kit? I heard you only need to get SPC rear toe bolts and I'd be able to get in spec with Swifts. I have an X sedan as well and should be dropping on Swifts this Spring.
