Best springs for $300 or less?

I'm a total spring noob but looking for 09 G37 Sedan and it looks like there's several to choose from. The Tenabes (sp) and Eibachs seem to be similar in price. What seems to be the best for this price range (any brand, not just those two). I only want a 1.5" drop roughly. I knwo everone has their preferences, but maybe by consensus?

For the drop you're after Eibach is your best bet.

The answer to any question regarding springs is always the same:


H&Rs.



EDIT: Unless that question is which springs suck the most

Those H&Rs seem pretty low compared to the Tanabes & Eibachs. I've got a steep driveway pitch and really don't want to have the wife complaining daily about it I also want to avoid a camber kit if at all possible. Are the Tein H Techs another option here or are the 3 mentioned in the thread the only real contenders for a small drop on a small budget, lol BTW, thanks for the offer, and I may be interested if the drop isn't any more than the Eibachs (and the camber issue).

'09 G37s sedan on Eibach....and 20mm H&R DRM bolt-on spacers.

I'm very happy with the Eibach drop & ride. Had them OTD shipped for like $225 from a forum vendor. I added 20mm H&R DRM's to flush the stock wheels....then added the GTspec bar and Hotchkis adjustable sways. All from forum vendors at very good prices. I could not be happier with this combination on my daily driver.

easy answer about camber kits imo, any drop you get at least buy the rear camber kit becuase it is not very expensive. It will cost like 150 and save you money in the long run. The front arms will cost 400, which may not be worth it. So I say always get rear at the least unless you are trying to run neg cam.
