New suspension advice

[mxquattro]

I think my stock suspension is getting a little tired on my 09 and should replace it. Not sure if i want to go stock or a little better so im looking for you guys recommendations. I have the g37xs Sedan..., so I want to keep the sporty suspension. Im thinking a spring and strut/shock package but dont want to lower it TOO much. (I live in new england after all). I see kyb stuff all over ebay but wont put kyb struts anywhere near my car Would love to hear what you guys have and what works. Also, its a daily driver so Im not into spending thousands on coil overs. Im thinking tokico blues and a good set of springs. Another thread mentions 350Z parts, can I do that on the G37Xs? Looking for any recommendations.
thanks!

Do you have the sport option? Search the forum for other posts with modified suspension topics...there are a few guys on here that are experts!

[mxquattro]

Yes, I have the sport option. I dont see a whole lot of posts that have anything other than coilover setups which I dont want. Id like a good replacement for what I have without going crazy. Its a daily beater after all and will never see the track.

There are a couple spring/shock combo's available. The springs are still going to give you a substanial amount of drop. You are still going to spend 6-700 on a new shock/spring combo.

[mxquattro]

Thanks.. I dont mind the 6-700.. can you point me in the right direction? I cant find any decent ones.

[RED_DET]

Eibach or Tein for lowering springs and I only see the KYB's available for the G37. How many miles on your current shocks?

[mxquattro]

Thats what I was afraid of, thats all I could find too. Ill just go OE if kyb is my only choice. I have 86K on them now

[RED_DET]

I can check on a price for oem shocks and the eibach pro kit.

[RED_DET]

Just checked oem shocks will cost at least $700 and then throw in a set of springs you might as well go with some bc coils. I can get those for same price as the spring/shock setup at this point.

[mxquattro]

That would be great, thanks! Do you have any experience or feedback on the kyb's? Ive used kyb's in other cars before and never had a set last more than 6 months. Im open for suggestions. I just cant seem to find anything for the Xs.

[mxquattro]

Thanks for looking. Do you have a link or info on the coilovers? Maybe Ill just go that route if it makes more sense.

[RED_DET]

Just click on image...

[mxquattro]

so about $1000... ouch. a little more than I wanted to spend on a daily driver that wont ever see track time, but Ill have to consider it. thanks for the info, i appreciate it.

[RED_DET]

Your cost will be less...

[mxquattro]

Can you pm me? Id like to chat with you about it!

im also thinking about lowering my G37x after i get new tires, so i only have to get an alignment once. I saw the pro springs in the tuner store.

Can you give me your opinion on what ride quality penality ill suffer? I'm planing to keep the stock 17inch rims on my 2010, so im assuming that should help keep ride quality high even with my car lowered.
