Stock vs Eibachs

So after searching the forum for the perfect look and spec comparison for the eibachs pro-kits, with no real success, i found this nice little link that gave a better "review".

Infiniti Eibach Spring Pro-Kits - 2008-2011 Infiniti G37 Coupe) - Eibach Pro-Kit Lowering Springs

Check the video on the bottom of the page for their review. Its not on a g37 but they do a pretty good side-by-side comparison, before and after.

there are a lot of spec comparisons on this forum...But eibach is just a simple inch drop and thats about it. It makes it a nice flush look and thats about it.

i have eibachs and i love them. i think they are perfect for a daily driver because they are not too low and it kills the 4x4 look

I've seen pics, not the best of course. But I have never seen any one make a video of the actual driving comparison. Although they are exaggerating the results it still gives a nice little review imo.

I am also on Eibach PK. Eliminates the gap & gives a nice drop.

I think, like stated above, Eibach gives a nice drop for a daily driver. Just enough to kill the gap and help it look better.

The ride is a little firmer/tougher, but nothing too noticable.

That's not really a valid question. Pro-kit is not a suspension upgrade rather just a lowering spring. So, if you want your car lowered, then no it's not a waste of money. If you're trying to improve performance, coilovers.

Wrong, and wrong again. It's not just a lowering spring...
Many crappily made coilovers will give you lowering ability as well as damping adjustment... improving performance is a marriage of the setup and craftsmanship
Let's be real here. People buy coilovers so they can go lower than they can with springs. Just like 99.9% of people getting BBK's do so only for looks.



Ibanez540r, do you even know what a shock dyno is?
