im also from the east coast i currently have eibach springs the front sits perfect but the rear is a tad high but i am buying tanabe springs to put in the rear a lot of people say eibach front and tanabe rear is perfect drop. but overall i would go with eibach because the front gap is really annoying. but if you are looking to spend the money on coilovers you can make them exactly how you want them

Go with Tanabe NF210 for a moderate drop and similar to stock quality ride. If you have larger budget then upgrade to Tanabe coils or any other set of coilovers for full adjustability.

I currently have the NF210 but my only grip is that I wish the front was a lil lower. I'm probably gonna swap for Eibach fronts or save up and get Tanabe coilovers next spring.

You shouldn't have any rubbing issue with the Eibach or the Tanabe rubbing issues. If you go with coils, you can adjust the settings to get the wheels to fit without rubbing.

Eibachs are really nice, I have 20's 285 rear tire, and theres no rubbing just sometimes scrape on big dips on the rear driver side, because of that little metal piece sticking out. I need to bend it in or something

If you get the Eibachs and run 275 or less in the rear you should have no rubbing at all....

You can always get a camber kit and play around with neg camber to get it to fit. There are people running 305's in the rear.

Yes, but at the expense of tire wear.. to the tune of 6-8,000 miles generally.. Plan the pocketbook for tons of rear tires..

Yeah, I personally put at least 15K mi. a year on my G, so running excessive camber is definitely something I want to avoid.
