We are looking to pick up a '11 G37S sedan. I don't need a drastic drop, I just don't want it to look like a Subaru. I would also like to preserve the ride quality and handling. I could also do without monthly alignments and going through tires every few months.

So what is the simplest way to drop the car just a little (for aesthetics)?

Eibach springs, front adjustable camber arms, rear adjustable camber arms.
One alignment.

eibach prokit. subtle enough to make a difference and not require camber kits. a good alignment shop can get it within spec without a rear camber kit

Really? Hmm...I've heard both sides of this argument. I know it can get close...but I'm not convinced within spec is possible?

yea there are many views but my car is within spec ..my tire wear is fine and has been for the past 8 months. what it comes down to is how good of an alignment shop you go to

Is there any way to lower the car without adjusting the camber? So the camber kit is most likely needed? Is this applicable to the G37X also?

I've read that the Nissan 370Z OEM springs will give you a subtle drop (3/4 inch) and keep the suspension within factory specs.

I have a eibach spring drop and just a rear camber kit on my sedan...even tire wear so far at 7000 miles put on the springs.

3/4 of an inch? LOL! Thats not worth it!

Eibach is your best bet:
a) Suspension will be a bit firmer
b) You will lose the ugly gap and the Gs look good on Eibach.
c) You wont need a camber kit if you go to a good alignment shop and you dont drive spirited. If anything the fronts are not 100% in spec but good enough to not give you tire wear issues. Go over an inch and you'll need camber kits.


If you want only 1/4 of an inch drop I suggest letting the air out of your tires

You could go on the Eibach set, and tell whomever you're getting the alignment done with to set your toe to preserve tire life.

True, my front camber was -1.6 with Eibachs, added the arms to reset it to -0.6.

Camber is not adjustable on the front without adjustable arms.

Even with the toe back to specs, that much camber WILL wear the tire prematurely.

Are people justifying not spending money on camber arms??

so camber kit is required for the front and rear w/ eibachs? my initial plan was to just get eibachs and rear camber.

Presto

do it right, get the camber front and rear camber kit. im sure many will say you dont need it, IMO it is needed if you want to preserve your tire life

it is NOT needed. my tires are fine and so are many others. its all about the alignment place you go to.
