Ride with lowering sprigs??
I am considering lowering my G37 Sedan but I am not thrilled about having a harsh ride... Anyone have feedback on the Eibach kit and/or others??

The ride is anything BUT harsh; I'm slightly disappointed with my springs for that reason - it wasn't as harsh anymore. It's not a bouncy feeling, but it's definitely softer than the OE sport springs. I'm on Tanabes by the way; I hear they're progressive though - so at higher speeds, they're meant to be more comfortable. At lower speeds, they're a bit stiffer. They do a rather impressive job of keeping the car flat during corners though...so I'll give 'em that. If you sort of put pressure on the rear of the car though, they're definitely (from what I remember) softer than the OE springs; more rebound.

when i was on eibachs i got back in spec on alignment with no camber kit. uneven tire wear was no issues. the ride was firm, with slightly more road feedback, but not drastically different than stock.
i just put the stock springs back on. while i loved the ride and look of the eibachs, i just couldn't live with scraping the undercarriage on speedbumps and driveways, etc. coupes don't have the problem because they are shorter. i'm still trying to get used to the "lifted" look.

If you put front spacers (20-25mm) you will have a hard to time going back to spec

A simple question - if you wanted a lower ride, why not buy a Porsche or Corvette to begin with instead of trying to make a nice looking sedan like yours look kinda silly? Just askin'.

Please help me understand why people hang on an 'enthusiast' site then proceed to pan basic modifications. Sure there are ricey mods but for the most part this community seems to avoid them.

I really could not believe someone on this forum would say that adding lowering springs would make the car look silly. The truth is exactly the opposite, the OEM springs make the car look silly. I had a 2009 G37x sedan and with stock springs, it looked like a 4X4. Replacing them with the Eibach's not only got rid of the SUV look but it greatly increased the handling of the car.
