haha well im charging two cents for inspiration services ill PM you email
the drop isn't as much of a scraper as i thought it would be.. i'm clearing around 95% of the speed bumps, the other 5, well i just have to drive against traffic flow lol BUT IT SURE IS DAMN WORTH IT!

today, I also heard a mini scrape.. i think the rear might've dropped another 0.1" recently coz i used to clear that b!tch

when more than 1 person needs a ride with me i make sure my route has no speed bumps or just mini ones like those in the mall.. otherwise, they're taking cabs man haha

its damn worth it though!
angling in and out all day long and driving over speed bumps at 0.1mph is worth wetting my pants everytime I look back at her after I've parked her and am walking home..

yup just keep slow going over and coming down at an angle and you should be fine most of the time.

I'm thinking about lowering my ride as well using Eibach's or Tein's once they get it ready for the X AWD coupe...how much did you lower in the front vs. back? I ask because my intent is do do a "safe" drop.

IMO if you want a safe drop, tanabe's & eibach's are as low as you should go.. H&R's & Tein are just a little too exaggerated

tein has not released their g37 springs yet. they only have g35 springs which are designed for a lighter car. my eibachs are about 1.5" drop front, 1" drop rear.

I see...now with that type of drop, have you ever scraped? Also, would you recommend that sort of drop for a G37x on 20"'s in snowy weather?

Thx for the suggestion bro! I hope eibach hurries the hell up with testing it on the X AWD coupe
