wait until a coupe weeks then go for an alignment, you should be all set. lowering springs won't void your warranty! enjoy it and drive.

No, anytime you adjust your suspension, you want to get an alignment. With the eibachs though, the drop is subtle enough that you don't need a camber kit.

Only if you you want your wheels to sit flush with the fenders... People usually go with 20mm. That gives your wheels a nice stance, and there wont be any rubbing.

No.
Spacers are for looks, personal preference only.

I recommend H&R spacers, 20mm. Used to run these before I got Volks, and they were great.

i just got a question i just got a 2011 g37 and i was thinking of lowering it. Are you sure that lowering it would not void warranty? and which springs would you recommend?

DRMs seem to be more popular, and thats what i have been recommended. I guess it comes down to preference though.
