its been 3 weeks since i installed my Eibach pro kits springs and i thought id

post some pics of them settled for anyone interested. I wish the back was like a 1/2 inch lower but im still very happy with the improvement over stock. I had an alignment performed 2 days ago and the guy said the car was within spec and didnt need any adjustments.

also my MXP exhaust is schedule to arrive tomorrow !! only took 3.5 months !!!

Looks great Ticketproof. My concern is, how come your car didn't need an alignment? Did you get an alignment before that after you installed the springs?

It's a shame that Tanabe springs are perfect in the rear and Eibach are perfect in the front. Long live coil overs!

And get some tint dude.

I'm not sure why, I think others on here have also said that after the drop they were still within spec and nothing had ro be changed. Guess its just luck of the draw.

I really hope your tires don't say otherwise in a few months lol I'd still check with a different alignment shop just to be on the safe side

How is the over all ride compare to stock, is it bouncy, is it hard, how is it? I’m interested in these springs but don’t want to make the ride to uncomfortable.

Thanks.

Its almost identical to stock but with much less body roll, its a bit stiffer on rough roads but nothing too uncomfortable.

If u don't get an alignment you're asking for trouble..trust me if you lower your car you ALWAYS need an alignment, suspension 101...you're changing the geometry from factory setup so your car is not in spec...

Looks good TicketProof!

Are you going to run some spacers for those wheels or are you getting new wheels eventually?

Hey im new to the forum!, im taking delivery of an 08 g37s here in the next few days, and was looking at the different spring combinations people had, heard good and bad, but with your post i think im going to go with the Eibach springs gets rid of the wheel gap, but isnt so low that it would give trouble over speed bumps and in winter weather, thanks! good looking rig out have there

Welcome to our little corner of insanity.

Ticketproof hasn't posted since 2012.

To avoid driving issues, don't lower the car more than 1 inch/2.5 cm. Keep reading in this forum, you'll find something you like.
