Springs on a lease

Hey everyone, I have a 2011 g37 coupe non sport and I've been iffy about dropping it on eibachs for a while now. My lease is a 24 month lease, got the car in march so its been about 5 months so I have 19 months left for my lease to end, so my question is do you think its worth it to install the springs on my car even though I'll have to end up taking it off when returning my car? Thinking about doing my stockies gunmetal too... but using plasti dip as a base coat so I can peel it off. I will do the install myself with a couple of friends with the right tools. Thanks a lot for your time!

One more thing... my dad keeps saying my car will bounce around like those civics with cut springs... So my ride quality won't be that noticeable with stock wheels correct?

Eibach will not bounce you around. The drop is not severe. I have them and the ride is very close to stock but you will feel the road more. There are lots of people here with leases who mod their cars and remove them at lease end. You can always sell your aftermarket parts too.

springs on a nonsport suspension will be pretty bouncy I think. I honestly don't think it's really worth the hassle with the time that you have left. With that said, several members of the forum have heavily modded their lease and parted everything out at the end.

19 months is way too long to go not dropped.
