Did some googling around last night, looking into parts to tighten up my suspension. My cut springs are ok but I recently had some passengers in the car with me and the ride could have been better. Probably since the spring rate on a cut spring isnt really taken into consideration. Anyway, I came across some springs for a 2000+ Q and it looks like there are a couple options and they are still in production. Anyone ever try to mate those suspension parts onto a G50? Im thinking the spring couldnt be that far off if at all, and could be easily swapped onto stock G50 springs for a better ride. Any feedback?

The 2nd Gen springs will not work, completely different. Where did you find them, which ones????

What exactly is your goal with cut springs on a G50 Q? Lowered stance I presume?

Would like to keep my lowered stance but stiffen things up a bit. Also not looking to spend $1k on coilovers either, finding springs for our cars not that easy, u know the drill...

Personally these are on my parts list, G50 14/10 coilovers - actually designed for the G50:

Anyone have any experience with the Swift Springs? I'm looking to lower the front of my 2002 Q45 about an inch and half, I'd love to know which Springs to order
