I'd have to disagree.... But everybody's entitled to what they like and what they think is best for their car.

General consensus would be that the stock height's gap is fugly! Specially how there is about a half an inch more gap in the front than the rear, . . . . that's just wrong IMHO.

Put a dropped G37 on Eibachs next to one with stock height. Same wheels, same color...... and the dropped one would win the beauty contest ANY DAY. Guaranteed.

I'd rather keep my underside nice. I have an X sedan on 19s and refuse to lower it. Since March when I got the car, there have been at least a dozen instances I'm glad I'm not lowered. Damn roadkill. The raccoons here are HUGE. lol

looking at Sams pics I'd think the eibachs look perfect...the slammed look never did anything for me...maybe it's because i see too many civics sport this look.

If I went any lower than my eibachs then I would be in trouble every time I pull in the drive. Right now, as long as I go in at the correct angle then it's okay.

you gota pay to play! lol

i agree, im pretty low now on springs (about 2inches in the front, my stock 18's are tucking) and theres streets i simply cannot drive on. when i get my coilovers im going to raise it up a bit to about a finger and half gap in the front and a finger and 3/4 or 2 fingers in the rear.

but stock is super fugly. also, dropping lowers ur center of gravity and the car will handle better, so a huge gap is not better for the car, its just better for the underside, which really isnt hurt that bad when u scrape, it sounds A LOOOT worse than it really is the majority of the time.
