Anyone have experience with Swift Springs on a G37S coupe?

I was originally gonna go with Eibach, but I have a buddy who has the Swift Spec R springs on his 370Z and swears by them. And riding in the car a couple times, it really is a comfortable ride for what it is. So considering Swift doesn't offer us Spec R's, who's tried the regular Sport springs on their G37S coupe and would like to share their experience?

I don't usually move items back to the broader folder but I'll move this to the coupe folder since there are quite a few there that run them. Should be a decent option but IIRC the rear tends to drop a tad lower than the front, or at least it looks that way.

I have them. They're great. Worlds better than Tanabe NF springs or Sustec coilovers. I highly recommend them. Pair them with the Koni dampers and you're set.

Here is my review of the Swift Sport springs on my xS. I guess the RWD will be a little lower drop as the AWD coupe sits a little higher to start off.

yup, the drop is -1.3 and -1.0 inches front and rear for both the AWD and RWD coupe. So your car would sit about -0.5" lower front and rear compared to mine. . but anyway, great springs!

The Koni yellows right? I've heard a lot of great things about the Swift Sport and Spec R springs paired with the Koni Yellows. May eventually have to pick a set of those up too.

Yes. A great combination. Superb handling and very good ride quality. You won't be disappointed. I only wish I'd done it first before wasting money and effort on other springs and subpar coilovers.

Swift springs + konis are 1100 or so. You're into a decent set of coils for that. If you stay at the same drop as the swifts, you won't need (99% likely, anyway) camber kits. If you decide to go lower, you will need the 500 or so for camber kits.

I'd do coils the first time. Take it from me, who got swift springs then 3 months later got coils because of the ride / uneven drop ...

I have an X coupe but I'll weight in and say that my Swift springs are fantastic. I do not have the Konis because I don't believe they are made for the AWD, but even without them the ride is very comfortable and my drop is even and functional. No regrets.

Gorgeous car by the way drkay! I am on Swifts with FI CBE as well. I never get tired of looking at those mufflers on the dropped car

Thank you very much JUMBO PALACE! I have the traditional oval canisters with the 18 inch resonators and RHFC. Most people wouldn't get their quietest option but the sound is epic and I can't stand drone or rasp. And I love it when dates comment on the exhaust note and say that other guys cars with exhausts sound like poo hahahahaha!

Wait, because this is actually a suspension thread I should mention this one chick that had a BMW 328i actually mentioned how comfortable and how well my car cornered. So +1 for the Swifts and OEM shocks.. . .

+1 for the swift springs here. Great handling and ride quality for springs. I'm on OEM shocks.

Were you able to get a more even ride height on the Koni yellows?
You go lower or higher than the stock dampers on swifts?
