can i just have a set of eibach springs installed without changing anything else ? i know this puts extra pressure on the shocks but im not doing a big drop so im wondering if it would be ok.

 

Some people that get Eibachs, get the camber kit. Some others get an alignment only.

By the way, it takes roughly 3 years to wear out the shocks completely on these Eibachs, so keep that in mind.

 

which did you go with, im not looking to make it look too custom so just an alignment will probably be fine. I have the Stillen gen 3 CAI arriving tomorrow, how do you like it and how much of a PITA is the install ?

 

Stock Sport Suspension FTW hands down

 

... Coilovers FTW!

 

Majority of members with springs are still rocking OEM shocks, the springs mostly bring the front down, and the inch or so doesn't seem to effect the shocks too badly. Ofcourse, you may get better handling with aftermarket shocks as well, but it isn't a neccesity.

 

I have the Eibachs, had them for about one month, and going to get an alignment shortly.

As for the Stillen 3G Intake, set aside 4-5 hours for install, and try to get a friend to help you.

It took me, and 3-4 other people to install mine in 3 hours tops. The hardest part is the cutting.

 

your not running a camber are you?^ do you think its necessary

TicketProof= Living in the hamptons must be fun lol, i know its fun when i go down there for a week or two in the summer join g35nyc.com a bunch of people from LI

 

its fun in the summer and real quiet in the off season, ill check out that site, thanks

 

sway bars are the BEST handling mod you can do for these cars. springs will help some but sways get rid of the roll.

as for stock shocks, i had my old g35 lowered about 1" for 2.5 years/50k+ miles and no issues on sport suspension.

 

Not running a camber kit, and I don't think it's necessary after looking over the spec sheet a member did of an alignment.

 

With the Eibach prokit, alignment shouldnt be too out of wack, if anything, just dbl ck tire pressure as thats the biggest area of many wear aside from camber. Longevity of OEM shocks are usually 80K+ miles on stock springs, w Eibachs, usually around 60K miles. You can just get the springs now and when aftermarket shocks come out (Tokico or Koni), you can get them later. It will all workout to be roughly the same price, a bit more for coilovers as you gain height adjustment and dampening.

Sway bars will def help w the body roll, checkout the Hotchkis thread for details.
