roads are pretty bad up there, but lowering your car barley an inch with eibachs wont have a significant effect on your car. I would think you should be fine, as long as you dont drive like a moron. Plus you have to realize the G comes on stilts, so to make it look decent you prolly should make it come down a bit.

i'm on the prokit. i occasional bottom out/scrape on big speedbumps or drive ways, but not often enough for me to switch back to stock - i love the handling and look too much. i have 15mm spacers and no fender rub issues.

Thanks for everybody's input. I think I've decided to go the eibach route because of all the positive press and how it's considerably less then coil overs (maybe in the future). I have a local shop charging roughly $540 for a lip and midnight grille installation and to do the drop (not including price of springs, grille, or lip). Just wondering if that sounds about right to you guys or if i should look elsewhere?

Please post pics of the drop on the X after you get them on. I have been debating for awhile on if I should get the Eibach's for my X, but have seen others who used the regular sedan springs and the drop came back uneven. I am hoping that eibach got it right with these springs...
