Eibach Pro kit question
I wanna get a set of Eibach Pro kit, could anyone share some experience pls? Is the Eibach going to be stiffer than stock S springs? would it be bumpy? is Tanabe NF210 better or Eibach? thx ahead!

FWIW, I'm still very happy with Eibachs on my daily driver, but I have never compared them to any other springs.
I can't speak to the G, but I use Eibach Pro kits on my 350Z and am very happy with them. Lowers about an inch F&R and adds a firm, but cushioned, ride using Koni 8241s. All Prokits are a progressively wound spring with the top coils close to stock for good compliance and the rest of the spring gets tighter the more load is added.
For a 350Z, the Prokits feel tighter than the NISMO S-Tune springs/shocks. Can't speak for the Tanabes, but the only downside is you lose a bit of shock travel with ANY lowering spring.

Eibach kit Pro for me is lovely. i get a little more bounce than i did with stock and after 5,000 miles on them I don't even notice any more. i love the new look. go get them
I got mine installed about 4 months ago and I'm very satisfied overall. They are slightly stiffer than stock springs, but you will be hard pressed to notice a difference while driving. Ride quality remained about the same, and my handling feels greatly improved, as if my tires are glued to the road (more so than before). It's a good investment IMO. Just make sure to get a wheel alignment after your springs settle...I neglected to do so for about 6 weeks after the install and my inner tire tread paid the price. If you are willing, I'd recommend a camber kit (although many people do without, including myself for now).
Here is a thread on G35driver that helped me decide on the Tanabe NF210s. I have an 08 Journey and the drop is perfect imo.

i love mine...like many have already said, ride quality is not VERY different than stock....its just right. i drove on them for the entire summer last year-no camber kit, no alignment (although i do plan on getting one)-and to date, i dont notice any uneven tire wear. But everyone is different.
as far as looks go, awesome! you can get much more aggressive with other springs/coil overs however anything that eliminates that ugly wheel gap (esp in front) is a winner in my book! And the Eibachs fit the bill.

In short, both are fine on the car, both are only slightly stiffer than the stock S springs, both are comparable in bumpiness to the stock springs.
The eibach's are very slightly stiffer than the NF210s.
I would guess the deciding point would be looks, because they both have different looking drops. Otherwise, they both handle and feel very similar. As a daily driver, both fit the bill.

I have had Both the Eibach and Tanabes, Right now I have the eibach front and tanabe rear. you would get the best drop with that setup, since the eibach rears sit slightly high.
I am selling my springs in couple weeks, so you can wait and save some money on used springs, I have both eibach and tanabe set.
even Drop= Tanabe front, Eibach rear. (slight drop)
even drop= Eibach front, Tanabe rear. (more subtle drop) (not slammed)
, but springs are mostly for looks, if you you have driven hard on both as I have, you would notice that the eibachs handle much better, I think the tanabe is actually softer than Sport suspension, I dont feel as confident taking corners with them.
either one with some sway bars and you are good to go, that is if you really make up your mind to go with springs instead of coils.
I went through the whole journey of springs and ended up spending money on two sets of springs and finally realized i should have gone with coils from the beginning , tanabe sustec pro runs around $900. you should look into it, they are not 50 way adjustable, but you can adjust the hight, and they also cost half as much as anything else, there are really good reviews on it. I will be installing mine in two weeks, so I can let you know personally.

It really depends on what you want out of it, to hurt the ride the least, i would suggest tanabes, you go to anything from none sport springs, is going to be stiffer, but tanabes are the closest to ride like stock and lower your car. I personally liked the eibachs, but I have the sport suspension, so it was already kind of stiff.
