Any way to lower a X .5"? Retain stock ride?
I just purchased a G37xS and was trying to find a way to lower it SLIGHTLY while retaining the stock ride. I do not want to lower the car 1.5" or so that it seems the sedan springs will do. Any suggestions besides overly expensive coilovers? I have a feeling I am out of luck, but figured i'd ask in case there was a way.

Lowering any car with shorter springs will ALWAYS effect the ride to a certain extent. Progressively wound springs like Eibach Prokits try to minimize it, but there's a consistent tradeoff between the two.

Here's a thread from earlier this year where someone tried the coupe springs on the X sedan:

SO...would rwd 37 sedan springs lower a 37x sedan? And would fitment work? The question was never really answered? That's exactly what I would like to do...drop maybe .5 all around and not give up ride quality...I know there's EibachPK...but I'm NorthEast and it's already frostin!burr!

It seems that it probably would work but it hasn't been tested out, measured, and reported. If someone would try it out on just the rears first since it's so very easy to change them, then they could give the community an idea. If it doesn't work out as anticipated, they can easily be changed back to stock in 30 min or so. If they do work out well, then they could do the fronts too and measure and evaluate the ride with all 4 springs changed.

If you only lower the rear, you will not get an accurate lowering amount than if you lower all 4 corners. The weight shift to the rear with only rear lowering will exaggerate the amount of lowering in the rear.
