I think the only people complaining about the Eibachs are those that want to slam their rides. Other than that, a great majority would agree with me that Eibachs are the best drop springs for those wanting a decent daily driver drop and the ride quality is identical to that of the sport springs. I've currently put my stock 19's at the moment while my car is at the shop. Eibachs make a huge difference compared to the stock Baja 4X4 ride height. I have some pictures with my oem wheels + Eibachs in my album. Feel free to check it out. All you'll need are spacers and you've got yourself a nice set up.

I disagree. I have the Eibach Prokit installed on my 2009 G37s Coupe 6MT. I was driving a long distance to work for a while before I got my commuter car, and I got VERY uneven tire wear. Granted, I drove about 150 miles a day - nearly all highway miles, so that would definitely contribute to some tire wear, but a camber kit would definitely help.

Did you do a wheel alignment at all? Normally you wait for the springs to settle after a week, but my lazy *** didn't do it for 6 weeks. My inner tread was pretty toast. After my alignment, my wear has been pretty acceptable. No camber kit at all. I guess YMMV depending on your driving habits and tires.

Yep, did numerous alignments. I've had the Eibachs on for about a year and a half. I had the dealer do the first alignment after I had them installed. They've never been in spec. I was riding on Hankook Ventus V12's 245/40R19 all around.

I'm a sedan on Eibach's with stock 18's and 20mm H&R's all around. Love it, zero complaints here. Looks better, handles better, add sways and a GTspec strut bar & you'll be very impressed. Check my garage pics if you want to check it out. Zero rubbing too.

Springs

Hey guys,

I am currently evaluating whether to get the springs or full coilovers for my 2014 Q60. I love the Eibach springs but will they mess up your stock suspension after a while a cause your car to bounce? I had this happen on my Maxima with Tein Springs.

Also are the spacers required? I am trying to stay as close to stock as possible.

Eibach is great for mild drop and close to OEM ride comfort.

Why does no one like Tein H tech?? It is supposedly a bit more than eibach but less than S tech..
