Love my Eibachs. Feel as good, if not better, than OEM. Depending on a vehicles wheel set-up, Eibach might not be low enough to close the gaps. Some springs are just too damn low and look stupid if you dont know how to pull it off.

if you have the money, i seriously recommend coilovers, once youll get springs youll itch to be able to change the height a bit here and there and the stiffness

I dunno, I love my h&r's and I have 20's and it rides perfect. no rubbing at all but i do have 32 and 42 offsets. But obviously coilovers are the way to go. its sounds like H techs might be what ur looking for if you just dont wanna go slammed

definitely get Eibachs...it's the exact look you want, trust me. i was going through the same thoughts. The ride is great, maybe 10-15% stiffer...you wont even realize it.

if you can, go with coils. i was previously on springs and now bc coils (i'm also an x), and the difference is night and day. Feels like a completely different car now. Plus you can adjust the height to your liking.

i just looked these up on eibachs website cuz im very interested. but on their site it says 1.9 front and 1.6 rear?

Edit: nevermind, its 1.9 front and 1.6 rear for the G37x, 1.2 and .8 for the S
