Finally got my springs installed!!
As the title says, i took my Infiniti up to the stealership and had them install my Eibach Prokit today. What a difference! The car looks much better without the hideous fender gap now and the handling has definitely taken a step forward.
I also got an alignment and oil change as well, bringing my total to $378. I know the springs will settle some and I'll have to get another alignment soon but I didn't want the car to handle all wacky until then. They got everything back into spec with no camber kit needed.
The best part was "settling" the springs. I took it to an empty parking lot, turned off VDC and spent about 20 minutes doing circles left and right as well as slalom style passes. Got in some sweet drifting too, it was a blast!
Anyway, heres' the pics. Let me know what ya'll think!

I'm also planning on adding some Ichiba 15mm spacers very soon so stay tuned for that. And sorry for the crappy photos.....

So now that they have settled, how are the fender gaps?
I just got my G37 this week and I have a 2 finger fender gap in the rear and a 4 finger fender gap in the front! Stock 4x4 FTL!
Can you snap a picture or let me know if the back fender gap is the same as the front gap?

To give you an idea on an Eibach drop, you should be about 27" from and rear from the ground to the fender after the drop per the Eibach spec. Everyone seems to be about right there with some a little lower. I have had mine about 6 months and I am normally 26 3/4" front and 27" rear. I say "normally" because it can vary a little based on gas level, tire pressure, etc. But that will give you a very good idea of the drop. Looks 100 times better in my opinion.

I want to put a spring set on it that evens out the fender gap but doesnt give it the "slammed" look and it looks like the Eibach is one of the milder drop that evens out the gaps.... I was hoping to find a set of springs that worked so I wouldnt have to fork out the cash and get a coilover set.
