Im considering dropping my g37 on eibach pro kit springs, 1.2 f, .8 rear.

anyone have them?

do i need a camber kit?

and will i scrape anything thru normal driving (ie speedbumps)?

and do the stock 19s rub?

thanks!!!!

no scraping normal driving, no rubbing w/ stocks, and no camber kit required. however need to be careful w/ speedbumps, just dont go over them too fast, if u have a front lip or even the stillen splitter be careful of dips and angle the car on slopes. o yea, watch out for curbs when you park. its a mild but noticeable drop.

You wont have any rubbing on the stock 19's with the Pro Kit. Camber is not required, you should be able to get it back pretty close to spec but it never hurts to get a camber kit.

Eibach springs are the best way to go right now.. The drop is just right and they have the legendary Eibach quality.....

the drop is perfect. The only problem was with the front alignment. I took my car to Radial Tire of Elk Grove and the alignment guy there wasn't able to adjust the front camber to factory specs. It was only slightly off though.

im thinking about this as an option vs coilovers which is prolly almost 8 times the cost..
