Can anyone running eibach springs help me out?

I actually have a set of tanabe sustec s-oc coilovers and I really like the drop of the eibachs on our sedans. Can any of you eibach owners measure the height from the ground to the top of each fender well? Btw, how many of you guys had to run front and/or rear camber kits?

I have Eibach springs on my G, and I will be buying coilovers soon for my car. You can always set your coils to that height. I didn't measure it but I can tell you to take off about 1.4" front and 1.5" rear off the total height.

I have the Eibachs. I will try to measure the lengths tonight.
Didn't need the camber kits. The toe adjustment goes into alignment easily and the camber is just outside of specifications but should be fine. If the camber was out by more than 1 degree, I would have used the rear kit at least.

Also, keep in mind that I am using the stock 18 inch wheels.

Thanks. I would definately appreciate it. Right now I have slightly less than one finger wheel gap all around and although it looks nice im throwing -2.2 degrees of camber in the front and -2.9 in the rear. A little too much for my blood.

Here are my measurements, using a tape measure from the floor of my garage to the peak of the wheel well arch.
My garage is essentially flat, but probably not perfect.

Driver Front: 26 3/8"
Driver Rear: 26 1/2"
Passenger Front: 26 1/2"
Passenger Rear: 26 9/16"

Alignment specs:
Driver Front: -1.8 camber
Driver Rear: -2.1 camber
Pass. Front: -1.9 camber
Pass. Rear: -2.1 camber
All Toe is near Zero.

with a drop on Eibach's, i would recommend you at least get a rear camber kit to get everything into spec. you dont 100% need the front ones but i would suggest you get them sometime down the road if you care about tire wear.

Thanks a bunch MDG37S!

If the eibach drop nets approximately -2 degrees of camber, that is what I need to make my wheels will fit. I am running 19x10 in the rear with a 38 offset and I do need some camber to ensure there is no rubbing.

You've got my car, but I'm on a 7AT....and am interested in going Eibach. Can you post a pic of your ride from the side? I'll be keeping the stock wheels as well so am very curious on how your car looks....

Thanks.

Not really. I think it's just the angle of the photo. To me, the front and back are pretty even. I'll try to post more pics sometime soon.

Thumbs up

Thanks MD...that's the stance I'm looking for. Would love to see it in the daylight if you get a chance. That's exactly the ride height/stance that Infiniti should have dialed in from the factory. Especailly the "S" model....oh well, onward to aftermarket.

ANY tire or undercarriage rubbing whatsoever?
No rear camber kit?
Who installed it?


Thanks again!
