2 Different Eibach lowering springs?

I was just checking on stillen and they sell 2 different levels of drop with eibachs. one drops the rears by 0.8 inches, the other 1.6 inches. I did a search and didn't find anything.
I figured id go with the 1.6 inch drop kit. Anything i should be aware of?
Thanks

There is the Eibach Prokit and there's another Eibach kit but I have never seen ANYONE use anything but the Prokit

I know for most other cars they have Prokit and Sportlines but Pretty sure for G37 coupe they only offer Prokit.

They do but I'd prefer the Pro-Kit because the drop pretty much takes away the fender gap perfectly and some body kits don't have a lot of clearance if you decide to use them.

Damn! I was hoping to slam it on the 1.6" drop while still being cheap and not getting coilovers!

Hijack! If I were to lower on springs, would I need a camber kit too? Also, anyone lowered in Chicago or somewhere where it snows a lot? Do you swap back to stocks for the winter?

I have a G37S, and just last Saturday installed Eibach ProKit.
The ride is different, not softer, not stiffer, but firmer. Almost like a German
car ride (BMW/Audi)
The springs are progressive, they really stiffen up when driving aggressively.

Pics to come.DOMO

Some people need camber kits others don't. I've never used a camber kit and haven't had a problem.

And yes plenty of people just change out for a second set of wheels with winter tires or just swap tires for winter tires

Sounds good to me, we own a Mercedes C320 it rides pretty smooth, hopefully so will my G37!

Do they bounce up and down by any chance?

There will still be some body roll, you need to invest in GT Spec if you want to eliminate body roll, but in terms of vertical bounce it will if you are driving over a bumpy road but not just on it's own lol

Sorry, I meant swap back to stock springs.
