You know what, I was lucky enough to have a friend install them for me for a case of beer...lol

So all I had to pay for were the springs which was $230.

The drop was about 1.25" in front and 1.50" in the rear.

Have you gotten it aligned yet?
No alignment yet. Going to wait until I put my new wheels on.

I was thinking of doing Tein myself, since I work right around the block from their warehouse, but then I saw that they only offer a 1 year warranty on their product where as Eibach offers a Million Mile warranty for theirs. Warranty alone was not the selling point though. I did a bunch of research and concluded that the Eibachs were best suited for my needs.

Hey everyone I installed my DPE's this past weekend but I have not had a chance to take some good photos. I posted some cell phone shots in my garage. Check them out and let me know what you think? I will post better photos soon.

Here is my Eibach update on ride quality. I do have to say that I have no complaints at all on the ride quality even with the larger 20" wheels. Still rides pretty smooth with no rubbing issues at all in the rear even with passengers in the back seat. The only complaint that I do have is that the front end is sitting a little too high for me which seems to be a common problem with our cars. Just now finding that out BTW. (see pic below) I even emailed Eibach about it and they said they probably got installed wrong. So I had that checked when we swapped out the wheels. Nothing wrong with the installation BTW. I really like the way the rear looks (see pic below) pretty good IMO. Now if I could only get the front to match the rear....hmmmm. I'll just have to deal with it for now.. I'm running 245/35-20 in front and 275/30-20 in the rear.My offsets are 35 both front and back.


Front


Rear

looks awesome! i would say that gap looks pretty even, an overall picture would def help. I installed the energy suspension isolators to bring up the back of my H&R drop...but I think your height looks good

Your ride looks pretty good. I'm jealous.

I have a 2012 G37S sedan and I want to lower it. I called Eibach but they don't have a kit for the 2012. Any suggestions?

Hey Zoster, we have very similar setups so I took a few measurements (from the ground to wheel arch) to show you how mine sits.
Front Left and Rear Left both = 26 5/16"
Front Right = 26 - 6/16"
Rear Right = 26 - 4/16"

It's the same Eibach Prokit # 6390.140 for the 2009, 2010 and 2011 G37 sedan (Non AWD)

Thanks for the quick reply. Does it require any of the alignment bits to keep the alignment in spec?

My thoughts exactly. You should be fine. I don't think Infiniti changed the suspension setup on the 2012's.
