External Mod Advice Needed

Hi all, I'm looking at doing my next external mod and wanted to lower my 2010 G37 S. I was wondering what you all recommend to lower my car. I had looked at Eibach Pro Kit but not even sure which one to get.

Also does it negatively affect the ride of the car? I read that it's suppose to improve the ride but not sure if that's true. I don't want to lose the ride but do want the look.

I would appreciate any help on this. I want the best.

I will add picture later as I'm not on the computer with them but you can see my photo gallery too as I have uploaded some pictures.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response. From the same manufacture? Don't know what camber kits are but I'll do a google read on it.

it really all depends on how much you want to spend. springs can range from $230-350 and coilovers can run $800-2000. camber kits range from $350-450

LOL how could you tell?? Thanks for the that information; I was just reading up on the camber kits but the recommending is very helpful. Wouldn't even know where to start. Will look at the SPC now.

So I would get the coilovers to lower the car and the camper kits? Who to go with for coilovers?

Whoa didn't know they ran that much. I'm not really looking to race or anything; I just don't want to negatively affect the comfort of the ride. $800 is a bit more than I want to spend at this time really. I will also get it installed professionally. Looks like the springs and camper kits are more in my range.

You don't need a camber kit. I have the KW V3 coilovers and no camber kit and am fine. I ran the eibach pro kit for over a year, no camber kit, and was fine.

If you are looking for just a subtle, cost effective drop...go with the Eibach pro kit from Lou@Amplified
