the eibach prokit lowers the sedan 1.4 in the front and 1.3 in the rear....I think
that since those numbers are minimal...the camber kits are optional....I will have to see after i am done lowering and aligning my G.....

Didn't know Tokico made struts for the G37s. All V36 chassis suspension parts are interchangeable... thus, if it fits the G37 coupe, it will also fit on a G37 sedan (or 07~on sedans for that matter).

They released it about a month or so ago. It would've been nice if they released the D-Spec's though. As far as i'm concerned, based on previous vehicle experience, the Blues are mostly OEM replacements.

A little bit of a delayed update for those still looking into the Tokico struts for our sedans. Yes, they currently do offer the HP blues for the G37 Coupe. However they are planning to do some testing on the struts for our V36 sedans. I have been talking to one of there reps for some time now and they are currently looking for a V36 sedan in the LA area to do some test fitting. Might be a good change for someone to get some goodies. He did not want to go get into details as they will go over that with you directly. If anyone is looking into Tokico struts and is in the LA area send me a PM so that I can get you in touch with them.

You got it man. I know personally I will be holding on for Tokico's release for the V36 sedan if it does happen. They have been so good to deal with from the first email which was months ago. I already have my Eibach springs on hand and they just need some new struts from Tokico to join them.

Can't wait for more info!

Mike,

I already spoke with David and we should be arranging a date sometime this month. They've been crazy busy with SEMA and now they should be able to get this going asap.

From what I understand, it will be the same part as the 08+ coupes. Unfortunately, they won't be making a separate part for the sedans. They will be basically doing the testfit on coupe's part on my sedan to confirm fitment.

I will keep ya'll posted.

Yeah he did tell me they were crazy with SEMA. I am not going to lie I was hoping for some D-Specs for our sedans. However I will be happy with the OK from Tokico about the blues.

He said there's not much of demand for the D-Specs. Most ppl who want dampening adjustability end up going w/ coilovers to begin with. Hp blues shocks are 20% stiffer than the OEM shocks according to David. It should result in much better ride quality over my worn out OEM shocks. I thought the ride was decent in the beginning with my OEM shocks and my H&R springs. However, I definitely feel them to be very under-damped after putting some miles on them.

^ could also be that the H&R's, as low as they are, are prematurely wearing out your dampers.

Can't wait to read your review of the blues.
