how about the front strut tower brace?

Every one of these is going to be a compromise on ride comfort to some degree. You don't need front or rear camber kit unless you are lowered. Stiffening your car's frame or suspension will do just that - stiffen the ride as well.

That being said, of the choices given I'd go with the lowering springs FIRST. Form there you can determine which direction you want to go next.

If it were my car and I had money to do all of these, I'd get them in this order:

Eibach springs
SPC/Eibach rear camber kit (front probably isn't needed)
Hotchiks front and rear sway bar kit
GTSpec 6 point Rear subframe Brace
GTSpec Front 4 point Ladder Brace
GTSpec Front subframe tie brace
GTSpec Front 2 Point Subraframe reinforcement brace
GTSpec G37 Fender Brace
GTSpec Rear Latteral Brace M Shape
GTSpec Rear lower tie brace

I wouldn't get the GTSpec Front Tower Brace because of the poor fitment issues (unless you do a DIY hack up of the engine cover mounting) and it's been posted that they don't intend to change it so that it doesn't rub the underside of the hood.

Hm.. Gtspec recommended the rear latteral brace m shape and rear lower tie brace and the 6 point rear subframe for maximum difference.

I'm kinda worried about dropping my G, n having to deal with scraping.. I wonder if I should just get the sways and call it... install would prob be $150-200?

An Eibach or Tanabe drop will not scrape easily; certainly not under most normal conditions. I've only scraped a couple of times on very steep driveways that I didn't take at enough of an angle. Coilover guys who are slammed are the scrapers.

Sways are very easy to install yourself in your driveway with the most basic of tools. Not hard at all. See the DIY on it.

I'll sell you my stock sport sway bars, I'll let them go for a great price, PM me

These should give you some handle improvement while not hurting your ride quality

I agree with betty. Start with lowering and then get the sways. I have a non sport as well and the eibach springs coupled with the hotchkis sways is perfect. Handling is much better and the ride quality hasn't suffered much at all

kkokko

What about the whole issue with, camber issues tire wear, and struts/shox breaking after what 50-60miles?

I'd do sways even before you lower your car. And the camber kit can be done w/o lowering to give you more neg camber for better grip during turns, however, usually people get it after they lower their car.

just my 2 cents . . .

Offer is open for any non-sport owners who want sport sways

A drop with Eibach or Tanabe can still be aligned to close to factory specs without any kit. With the rear SPC kit, you can align it perfectly (I did with Tanabe's) . Yes, stiffer/shorter springs do make you shocks wear somewhat quicker, but a small drop like these won't damage them quickly. Nobody can say how much accelerated the wear is because nobody has enough miles on their car yet to make that determination. I'd guess you can still get well over 100K miles before noticing any ill effects, but that is just a guess.

kkokko

Thanks for the suggestions, i think Ill go with the drop +sways going =)

Cheers

kkokko

Thanks

For the offer but i think i'll stick with the hotchks

kkokko

how would you rate the ride quality before and after from a scale of 1-10? Like going over bumps with a non sport?

Will a non-sport with eibach drop + hotchicks sways have the same suspension as a stock sport g37? Slightly better worse?
