Swift vs Eibach Lowering on G37X COUPE
Hello Everyone,
I am yet to post on here and have been lurking for sometime and I need the opinion of some of of you lowered folks. I currently have a 09 G37x coupe QAA on the 19x8.5xs wheels square set up. Will the Eibachs be too low for my vehicle and give it the slammed look or do you think I should go with the mild drop of the Swift Springs. Also, spacers would need to come into play do to the high offset of these wheels. I am very familiar with offset but I am not familiar with spacers and AWD. Would this mess anything up? Please let me know. I have also attached a few photos, nothing special. Please let me know your thoughts on which route is the best. Also, sorry for the ****ty pics lol.

It's crazy that I have a 2010 G37x Coupe and my wheel gap is not as bad as yours and it's on stock... Weird. For me I'm going with Swifts just cause I didn't want too much of a drop compared to Swifts and just spending another $500 on camber kits aren't the way to go for me currently.

'11 x Coupe on Eibach
Not sure about the camber kit. Saw mixed reviews between ppl needing it and not. Didn't want to pay twice for the work so I just got it.
Ride is fine. I just can't drive in lanes the buses frequent - sunken tire tracks

This is a super common discussion topic and the takeaway every time is "whatever you like best". Both are solid options and do the same thing, but Eibach is a little lower.
I personally have Swifts on my 12' x coupe and I like them a lot. They eliminated a lot of the wheel gap without going too too low, which is a look I don't care for. Plus, I like the comfy ride and the freedom to not break into a sweat when a speed bump is coming up.
At the end of the day, both products are a great purchase and you won't go wrong either way. Just decide what drop you want and pull the trigger.

Yeah true but that was after 16 months of driving on them so who knows what the cause is lol I've been checking my new tires about every months and they still perfect to me till now so I'm confused and am going back to my original assumption that cambers are not needed haha

I also have an '09 X in QAA. Last friday I ordered the Eibach Pro Kit, Rear camber bolts and front A-Arms. Should be here in a few days. Can't wait to put them on! Good luck on you're decision.
How'd you black your roof out btw? looks nice

Thanks everyone for the replies! I will be going with the swift springs and I will keep you updated on how that all goes. As far as other upgrades you thinking the sway bars should be next? I already have FI HFC, Sport muffler, sport pedals, paddle shifters, Tekeda CAI, Tail by turn, all diode dynamic LEDS, midnight grill, status elite diffuser, Carsmo, wrapped the roof, GTR start button, remote start and now just put the 19's on with BFG sport comp 2's. Any input would be appreciated.
