you have to let the springs settle. when i dropped my honda it took 2-3 days for it to settle about half way and by the end of the week my car slammed itself lmao. thankfully i bought coil overs so i could adjust them to have no gaps. highly reccomend coil overs in the future for better ride, handling, and looks. i’m about to place an order on bags for the 392. nice video !
Yeah the car settled in now and sitting nicely. I would've loved to get coilovers but they're expensive so I went the cheaper route. I also wanted to keep the stock driving feel so the springs makes it feel stock still. Thanks.
I have a 2012 G37xS Coupe (original owner) and a few years ago I lowered the car on Tanabe NF210 (NF : Natural Feel; 5% stiffer than stock / modest drop) In early May I changed the shocks because the car is 10 years old now on the stock shocks and they were done. The car has only 59K miles never winter driven and is in showroom condition. I replaced the OEM shocks and kept the lowering springs. After a week the car developed a creaking sound that sounds like crickets for a brief moment only for 2 - 4 seconds while accelerating...not aggressively but not soft either and only from the driver side. My head mechanic heard the sound using the scopes and was sure it was coming from the top as did another mechanic down here in SW Florida where I'm currently located for about one more month. I was advised to change the upper control arms (comes with bushings and ball joint) on both sides which I did last week and after spending close to $1k the sound is still there. I called KYB (the car is AWD) and the tech there said it was probably the upper plate and mount. He thinks the rubber sleeve that holds the shock spindle is worn down and that's what's making the noise. However my head mechanic doesn't agree. They recommend waiting until I return to diagnose it again. One thing everyone agrees on is that it's not the lower control table. Thanks for any help....
Question for you, if you can help, I have an aftermarket exhaust (magnaflow I think, came with car), and the rear portion sweeps down a bit to clear the LSD. About 3.5-4 inch clearance at the lowest point. If I lower it with spring, It would lower another inch at the back, might really hurt daily drivability. Wondering how your experience has been in daily driving the car, and speed bump issues? On the underbody how is your clearance, 4 inches off the ground at lowest point?
I have not looked the under the car since I installed the lowering springs but it shouldn't be too bad. I don't bottom out very often. Speed bumps are rough. I know the magnaflow sits pretty low so it might scrape going over speed bumps if you lower it on these springs. But overall, I'd say these springs are very good for daily driveability
I actually have terrible tires and the wrong setup. The previous owner put a square setup with 245 all the away around. Will purchase 275 for the rear and 245 front with a staggered setup soon. Will make it look much better. And yes I have spacers. I believe 25mm front and rear
@@yayasgarage very true I’m just waiting to leave Virginia everywhere you go it’s like speed bump heaven I already have to go over some of them side ways how much were your springs
@@yayasgarage I’m going to get them as soon as I move out of VA it’s speed bump heaven 😂 my last G was lowered and I went through 2 y-pipes because of it
Nooo definitely don't get Godspeed. Swift is a good brand, I've only heard good things about them. My car drives like stock and got increased handling. I would definitely recommend them. I think it's worth the money.
I love them. They're very comfortable and make the car look much more aggressive. Potholes and speed bumps can be a bit rough sometimes if u hit them fast but overall very daily drivable

You know it would nice to make no cuts in the video…. You skip over the hardest parts to do and make everything look perfect..
i literally cannot find lowering springs for my 2014 infiniti Q60s AWD. i need help finding some….
Yeah I've heard it tough to find coilovers or lowering springs for AWD

I put eibach pro kit springs on my g and after some time I've noticed my front driver side has a slightly higher gap than my passenger side.
That's really odd. Maybe one of your struts are going bad.
did you have to get camber arms and if so which ones
I did not originally but I just bought them and will be making a new video on it soon. I need them to get my camber aligned to OEM spec
@@yayasgarage what’s the difference in driving without them
I would suggest getting printouts of the alignment before and after you take it to the shop, a lot of places will try to pull some tom foolery on you.
I did get an alignment printout! Thanks for the heads up

What’s the tires size I like the way they look and do you have any spacers on ? Thanks man!!

@@yayasgarage thanks for the info bro! Damnnn to bad I can’t do staggered size I’m AWD. I want bigger tires tho mines are 225/45 all around!
@@nani1783 No problem. So go squared setup and you can go wider to 245 all the way around.
What dewalt impact is that. My end link bolt is stuck on and won’t break and that impact broke it pretty easily
I’m gonna buy a set of coils and delete the rear spring n just run the new struts lol, form>function for this build I’m doing
YOLO
Do you have a link it looks clean af

@@yayasgarage thank you so much also it does matter of it says it’s for the sedan?
@@X.340 No problem. And yes it does matter. The sedan and coupe springs are different so you need to get ones for ur specific car (coupe or sedan)
Nice bro i added spacers to mine but I’m not going to lower it because I go into speed bump neighborhoods a lot
That's cool man, I got spacers too. You should lower the car, it looks so much better. And honestly speed bumps aren't that bad tbh
@@yayasgarage very true I’m just waiting to leave Virginia everywhere you go it’s like speed bump heaven I already have to go over some of them side ways how much were your springs
@@icybaby210 they were $330 from z1 motorsport. 100% worth it. And yea Virginia is brutal
@@yayasgarage I’m going to get them as soon as I move out of VA it’s speed bump heaven 😂 my last G was lowered and I went through 2 y-pipes because of it
@@yayasgarage Which spacers did you end up going with?
What is the size of spacers?
0.25 mm all the way around I believe. Previous owner installed them so I'm not 100% sure
Lol your crib compared to your neighbors
What size spacer do you have in the front and back?
I believe it's 0.25 mm but not 100% sure bc the previous owner installed those
Everyone starts wth its been a while since I posted I've been extremely busy.
Do you have any problems with potholes?
I've only had issues with speed bumps sometimes if I go over it too fast, the car will bottom out. But overall they're very comfortable
whats the spring rate for these?
Hello, how do you feel about spring changes?
Where did you get the springs?
Z1 motorsports website
What size wheels are those?
They're 19 inch sport rims
How is swift I was thinking of using swift but people said they suck idk 🤷🏾♀️ , I was trying to go the cheap route so I was thinking Godspeed
Nooo definitely don't get Godspeed. Swift is a good brand, I've only heard good things about them. My car drives like stock and got increased handling. I would definitely recommend them. I think it's worth the money.
