I'm getting the Eibach Pro Kit installed Monday - nice to see how great it looks on your G. I know about getting the alignment - but do I have to worry about the camber/toe arm kits? or is your G OK without them?
Be patient with me - this is the first car I've ever had dropped......

looks awesome elite! im putting mine on today probably. drop is just what i want. almost no gap without going too low since i have HUGE speedbumps at my condo.
as for the spring rates, since these are progressive springs there is no set rate - you really want to see the rate chart and know the max rate. honestly i prefer linear springs for aggressive driving but im looking forward to keeping a more stock ride on my 37. these springs are still lowering your center of gravity and with some sways, you will still have awesome handling.

Front. You can get toe in spec, but camber is just a bit out of spec.
Rear. From what I have read, you can almost get in spec without a camber kit. I installed the camber kit and went with only -0.8 rear camber.

I can't make up my mind if I want to go with the Eibach pro-kit, or KW coilovers. I know the coilovers would be better but they are a lot more expensive. Did you or anyone get the camber and toe arm kits installed with your drops? If not is your camber and toe-in off in the front and rear? Feedback from any of you guys with dropped g37 or g35 would be great thanks.

Update: I bottomed out last night in a horrible parking lot.
Checked under the car today and decided to take a couple of pics
and measure using a mans measuring tool.
No injuries
A full 6 days have passed since install.
This car is getting a lot lower than expected. You can barely see the top of the front tires. No regrets.

ya its tough to get over EVERYTHING but i think the look makes up for it anyday. dont forget though that the exhaust curves around the axle are more protected because of the wheels. the places you have to worry about the most are your front bumper, side skirts coming off bumps and the exhaust tips. just go slow and at an angle whenever you're unsure.
