Best Springs?

Hey guys, looking into springs

Just wondering what in your opinion is the best springs (not coils) for our G's are?? Things like best ride quality, drop height etc

Thanks!

A lot of people here like the Eibach Pro Kit and/or the Tanabes.

I've got Eibachs on my G37s sedan & love it. Came down about 1.5", the ride is smooth with better road feel, and responsiveness is definitely improved. The Eibachs are a nice compliment to the sport package suspension.

definitely depends on what youre looking to do...but i have Eibach's on my G37s coupe and i'm 100% satisfied with the ride quality. The ride quality should only change maybe 10-15% for you to notice. (thats only if you just driver around and pay attention).

Eibach gives you the best drop to cover the gap and gives it a great look. But you'll want to invest in spacers cause a drop will make your car look weird.

Also, if you lower your car with just springs and go lower then eibach, you have to then consider investing into a camber kit and so on...

Swift is working on springs for the G. I'd hold off (2 more months or so). Those will be the best. The 370z guys absolutely love theirs...

Thanks guys, yea I'm stuck between eibachs and h&r but I'm leaning towards eibach due to the camber issues (not down to buy new tires every year) but jus wondering how does the stance look is it lowered a lil more on the front than the back because stock my front end looks like a 4x4 lol. Thanks guys appreciate the help. Any pics of your lowered G would help my decision.

There is no such thing as best springs, It all goes to the person. Im slammed on s techs and I think the car drives the same, the only difference is when I go up steep driveways or go over large bumps I gotta go sideways cause It will hit the ground. Everyone told me to get eibach and stay away from s techs, but at the end of the day I did what I truly wanted and got the s techs. now h&r has more of a drop than s techs so be prepared to be slammed!, eibach is a less of a drop just to get rid of the wheel gap and on most stock cars you cant even notice much difference. imo get s techs or h&r's but with h&r' you will need camber kits and that can be costly for front and rear plus the a arms around 600

+1 on the Eibachs.

They give the coupe a tasteful drop while keeping the ride quality, I didnt notice a difference after putting them in my car. The drop makes your car look 1000000X better haha. Handling definitely improved: less body roll, more responsive, less braking dive, etc.

Dont get Eibachs if youre going for the "slammed" look. Youre also probably going to need rear camber arms too if you dont want a lot of neg camber.

yeah, Im on h&R's and it is low. I dont think the pictures do it justice. I mean you are probably as low as you should be as far as ride height on h&r's unless you dont mind rubbing or scrapping. I had eibachs first and got rid of them in a week becuase I really couldnt notice much of a difference when looking at the car , I feel like the ride quality of h&r is really good, BUT after a month on springs I had to buy camber kit. I just liked the slammed look. doggy is right there is no best spring, its just up to you and what your looking for. It also depends on where you live and your roads IMO. but I say hr or stechs or if you wanna wait for swift to come out , but i dunno about that.

I happen to love my Eibach's, I nearly went with the H&R's though. It just matters what look you are going for.

Eibach ProKit is the best spring kit IMO. But there are a lot of good sets that people like, it is really just what you're looking for like people have said

this must be thread number 17273942203828379329202 of "which springs are the best?"


You do realize that's a completely subjective question, right?
