I am trying to figure out if I should get coilovers or springs for my m37 coilovers are hard to find so far i have only found tanable coilovers i want to see how low the car looks wit just springs to see if it is worth just getting the springs. and its a million dollars cheaper. the tanable website shows a pic but it i wanted to see if any other member has a m37 lowered or on coilovers on here.. could anyone send me some pics of m37 wit either srings or coilovers besides the guy wit the black m37 called da mayor i have seen his car already. pics would help please

BC has coilovers for the M37, unfortunately for me I have an M37x and BC said "when we get to the front lower mounts and cartridges, there are differences in lengths and fitment between the RWD and AWD applications. For this reason, we would like to perform the testing and development in our facilities, if the demand for the M37x kits presents itself."

all the pictures seemed to of disappeared but here's a white M37 with bc coilovers.

Only one I could find for some reason. There might be more pictures of eibachs springs for you on fresh alloy but you'll have to search

Hey Guys,

I just picked up a 2012 M37S over the weekend and have been loving every bit of it so far! The mod bug has bit me early and would love to put a drop on it soon. I know any sort of drop will change ride quality, but what is the best option/route to take if i want a subtle drop to eliminate some wheel gap but without having to compromise ride quality?

Mexillis, can you ID these wheels?

Hey Guys,

Ride quality is such a subjective concept that it is difficult to give objective data. Having said that I will try to offer my humble opinion; and that is whenever lowering a car I will forever use coilovers or air for the right application.

Though most lowering springs do not have greatly increased spring rates over stock, there is always an increase or at least an increase in the progression of the rate. It has been my experience that sharp edged bumps are the bane of lowering springs; there is simply not enough high speed stock damping to compensate for the additional spring rate in such short and sharp compressions, thus degrading the ride quality. This may have changed since I last used lowering springs or in the specific case of springs on your M so I cannot offer specific knowledge here, only past experience. On the other hand, coilovers with quality dampers and not incredibly stiff spring rates, IMO, are able to more closely replicate the stock ride while simply turning the firmness up all around.

Lest we forget that with coilovers you are also able to adjust the ride height, spring preload, and damping allowing for you to more closely dial in the ride and stance to your taste.

Just my $.02.

Did you mean Tanabe instead of Tanable? I have been in the market for the same coilovers as well. The coilovers on their site has the drop that i'm definitely looking for. They also have lowering springs but is not as agressive. I've used Tanabe on my older cars before and was very satisfied by the craftsmanship and performance. IMO the price is a steal for a high quality coilover system.

The coilovers are a bit much for my taste. Not interested in the "slammed" look. But as far as the springs go, I think the tanabe springs ride a little high in the front IMO. At least from the pics you posted. Would really love to see a side by side comparison with the eibachs.
