Eibach's on X coupe

Hi, Just interesting if anyone successfully lowered X coupe with Eibach's? What is required besides springs, how expensive it is and if any shots we could see? Any other details are welcome! Thanks!

Yes, people have done it. If you are just using the Eibach springs, then all you need is...well...the springs.

It shouldn't cost any more or less than any other G getting Eibachs ($200 TOPS for install) and it will (should) look the same as any other G dropped on Eibachs

I heard many opinions that stock struts will be dead soon after installing Eibach's springs. I need to know opinion of anyone who did it and preferably on X, sorry and thanks!

Triple X did it if I am not mistaken. That's a bunch of crap, the OEM struts are fine with Eibachs. They are very mild and while they WILL wear out the struts faster than OEM, the increased wear is negligible because it is so small.

Different people have different opinions. I had the Eibach PK on my car for over a year and never put a camber kit on and was just fine. Others insisted on having it, and they were just fine. If you get the kit, let the springs settle and get an alignment and still can't get in spec, then go ahead and get the camber kit but I wouldn't assume you need it ahead of time

It looks the exact same as any other G37 lowered on Eibachs. There isnt anything special or different about the X when it comes to sitting on springs
