Eibach or H&R springs for x coupe on 20s?

Anyone even using H&R's yet? And how would the ride be with either compared to the luxury feel of stock (:

i'm trying to find info on the h&r's also, it seems like there's nothing except for facts and figures. even a pic would be great. as for your concern with ride quality, it will never ride as comfortable as stock. that's just how it goes (unless you shell out for some good air suspension).

what is the drop on the H&R supposed to be for the X??
I ask because, the Eibach pros for the X seems 1/2" too low for me (i'm in michigan, and we have ****ty roads)

i got the eibach pros on my xcoupe. it sits just right imo. ride quality is a little harsher than stock, but id rather it be like that and "feel" the road more. it allows you to take turns more confidently too. did H&R even make springs for the x yet? i thought they never actually got around to doing it. If you want a nice suspension setup though, BC makes coilovers for the x.

I think you should roll with Eibachs. H&R drop will slam the car and I definitely don't recommend them for our Xs. Reason being your transfer case will be scraping the ground whenever you hit a bump. Plus I'm assuming the reason you bought the X was because you'll need it in all four seasons. If not, you should've got the S or the base. It'd be impractical if you were driving around in snow when you're slammed...unless you plan on being the neighborhood snow plow.

h&r springs for the x-coupe are a milder drop than the eibach springs.
h&r: -1.5 F, -1.4 R
eibach: -1.9 F, -1.6 R

Wow did not know that... Why would they make the S springs so that it slams the car but the X have less than eibach drop lol. Don't understand the reasoning. Imo not a good enough drop though. Eibach is perfect. You won't regret it.

this is exactly right. you also want to go off of spring rates to knwo how they ride.

The X sedan springs are COMPLETELY different then the coupe springs, not to mention the AWD springs compared to the sports.

***Make sure you get the correct springs for your car

so, they have published the information on our x-coupe springs, but the product itself isn't out yet? correct?

EDIT:
They have pricing info, and specs on their website,
http://hrsprings.com/scripts/appguid...%20G37 x Coupe

And it seems like people carry them!

I might be in on this!

yeah, the Tanabe has a decent drop but their website only shows it for the coupe. No sedan. looks like the part number is the same as the rwd coupe and sedan though.

found it on their r&d section here
