Eibach Springs Front / Tanabe Springs Rear

So I got a killer deal from Andy at HP Auto on some Eibachs Springs for the G37. I like the drop on the rear with the Tanabe's because there is zero gap, but the front needed to be lowered a tad. I received the Eibachs super fast from Andy, I think within 2 or 3 days of ordering them, but wasn't able to get them installed till this past weekend. Have to thank Finagle69 and Wezbian, because they did all the work..oh and the guy at Pep Boys, since we had some issues with compressing the springs... But in the end, everything was installed, and now I am loving my car a lot more. I'll post a few more pics after the springs have settled more.

Wow... Looks good... Hmmm......

Oh and Sam, No... From what i've seen, the Tanabes actually sit just a tad lower in the rear for some reason than the Eibachs do. Dunno why...

Yeah from the pics I have seen, the Eibachs look to be almost the same height as stock in the rears. That is why I kept the tanabe's on the rear, and just replaced the fronts.
