I'm in the market for some springs and have narrowed it down to these two products. I've read most of the threads out there regarding the two and I think I can't go wrong either way. It seems that both items only require an alignment or two instead of getting a camber kit, which I like. I only want to eliminate wheel gap. I have my stock rims which I plan on using for another several months, but I plan on getting some 20's some time later this year.

What I really want to hear is some follow-up commentary on how you like your springs after several months of use. I guess my biggest concern is installing springs only to realize later that it's settled more than I wanted. I'm no suspension guru, so any and all feedback is appreciated. Thanks.

 

I hated the idea of drops in the first place. Scraping and bottoming out just kept scaring me away. I then went with Eibach's for the F of it cause even my grandma got infected with the myG37 fever and told me, hey nice car, needs a drop though lol

I have to admit, I love them.. My G's still getting a treat i'll post pix up tmrw when she's out.. Tanabe's are nice, a bit lower (especially in the rear) than the G

P.S. Eibach is German

 

I have had the Tanabe's for about 8 months... They're good if you're looking for a very subtle drop... I personally liked them up until I got my 20's put on because of the more pronounced wheel gap afterwards... Eibach;s drop is great IMO... Not too low, but not as high as the Tanabes (up front).... Tanabre rears and Eibach front is PERFECT!!! Lol

 

Go with tein S-techs, car handled like its on rails and looks sicked dropped that low. I got a set for sale if your interested, PM me

 

I concur with Gamedog. Tanabe are awesome, no rubbing or having to cut the fender liner even with 20's. I will probably get the Eibach front springs to get that extra .5" or so in front, backs are absolutely perfect.

 

I liked the tanabe's, but the wheel gap was killing me in the front. So I got eibachs, but kept the tanabe rears. IMO, Eibach front, Tanabe rear is the perfect drop.

 

Get Eibachs. Tanabe's front gap is too big IMO

 

what the, your grandma is tellin you to drop your ride??? hahaha that's one bad @$$ grandma u got there.

okay well so far i guess i'm leaning more toward the eibachs...and if anything, it's the front gap that bothers me more than the back anyway...

damn, the tanabe back drop does look nice...though i can't imagine it being that much different than the eibach rears...?

 

Tanabe rears are perfect, and Eibachs front is perfect lol

 

hi sam , did u need a camper kit

 

installer said I didn't need.. will find out with the next tire change

 

have u notice any diffrant on ride quality ??

 

went with eibachs cause they are slightly lower. only did 500 miles on the stock springs and 700 on the eibachs so far but im completely happy with the ride.

 

Eibach springs and their rear camberkit, installed at Eibach. Love em! Ride's as stock ( sport suspension) maybe a little better cornering, no rubbing, no problems, stock wheeels with bigger than stock tires.

 

There may be an obvious anwser to this, I'm curious if you wanted to go with Eibach Fronts and Tanabe Rears, how would you go about purchasing these. Would you need to buy both kits or can you buy just 2 springs?
