YES!!!!!!! I've been waitin for you to say that Mr.! We can't have that sexy black 4wheelin!

If you want to avoid camber kits, the H-techs or Tanabes are def the easiest, and cheapest for the quality!

Once you know your financial situation after the honeymoon, you will have a timetable to start buying things again.
Couldn't have said it better.

Congrats bro! From experience I can tell you that a baby is in your near future. Three things usually happen in succession but in no particular order:

-Wedding
-Job promotion
-Baby

Trust me on this

I'll be ordering a set this month for sure. With our Federal tax return, we are paying off Caitlin's Escape, then once I get my MN or WI return I'll order a set. I'm thinking about the Eibach ProKit. Can get it for $250 with free shipping. I'll let you know when I order since they'll be shipped to your place. Then I'll come over some day and we can do the install.

I wouldn't recommend springs that weren't quality. I didn't mean they were "cheap springs". I meant it as the quality is highest for the price you pay. You save $$$ avoiding camber kits, and if you're not looking to slam the car, H-techs(PENG HAS..he actually has Z H-techs which are more of an even drop), and TANABE's (which TEVI HAS RIGHT NOW for the 37, and I had on my 35). Man I could have swapped mine back to stock and pretty much given you my Tanabe's before the guy came and picked up my car. He wouldn't have even known the difference.

I would highly recommend the tanabes. They're SOFTER then the sport springs that you are currently running so its even more of a comfortable ride, you have sport shocks so you have nothing to worry about there, and you can easily get back within stock camber. Its basically a perfect setup for someone just looking to get rid of nasty wheel gap.

I will tell you from experience though, I wanted to go lower after I did it. But that's me...and now look where I sit SLAMMED!...lmao

This is where I would ask Peng how his camber readings were when he got alligned. I know he has SLIGHT uneven tirewear, but not much, and he's not running a camber kit in the rear. Peng's drop is prettttty much perfect SPRING for the 03-07 G coupes IMO.

interesting... so with the softer tanabes, did you notice any performance change? better/worse? you know, since they're softer.

i can't remember how Peng's look with his drop so i should check that out before making a decision. i wanna get rid of the wheel gap so it look nice but to be honest i'm not sure "how low" i should go (lol) cuz i also don't wanna be slammed since i probably won't be able to get in our garage (there is a pretty good incline at the tip of our driveway).

Now i'm also thinking i might need some end-links. the stock ones aren't sitting very comfortably as is with my swaybars. you think that would get worse with i lower the car? for some reason i can't picture what the springs would do to the end links and swaybars. i don't wanna break an end link while on the twisties or the track or something, that would be bad

Speaking of which, are you guys thinking of hitting the tracks this summer? i kinda wanna give it a try, have some freedom pushing the car without thinking about cops or ditches or one coming traffic
