Go with the swifts, nice drop but not enough to cause issues, even with Fast Intentions exhaust.

Coilovers if you got the cash. You can pick your height. Best decision I ever made.

^This is what I did and ended up going lower than I ever thought I would. I like having the height option.

I'm lowering my 2013 vert in the near future and going with the Eibach pro kit w/front and rear camber kits. I had the prokit on my G37xs coupe and loved the drop and the ride. Also, dont forget spacers to complete the look.. 15mm all around at a minimum.

Good luck and post pics when she's done

Don't forget the rear camber kit. You don't need the front kit.
