New G37 owner in SoCal

Hey guys! I bought a 2011 Blue Slate G37S a couple weeks ago. CPO with 33k miles on it for 25k, I felt that was a good deal so I couldn't pass it up. Thinking of making a Takeda CAI my first mod. I also want to drop it about .5-1 in, but I'm not sure if the ride would get stiffer or not. What do you guys think?

Anyway, glad I found this forum and I'm happy to be here with my new G!

Welcome to the site, congrats on your new CPO.
As far as lowering, all lowering springs will firm up the ride, typically the deeper the drop the firmer the ride. A mild drop like Swift, Tanabe or Eibach should give a fairly comfortable ride but if you combine that with big wheels/small profile tires the ride will get pretty firm.
Browse the coupe or sedan folders, depending on which G you have to see various lowered setups w/ reviews.
Have fun!

Thanks! Swift and Tanabe are actually at the top of my list as I've read they maintain the feel of the ride for the most part. Thanks for your response, it has definitely helped!

Congrats and welcome to the forum. The G37S already comes with stiffer springs than the G37 base model so going to Eibach will feel the same.
