Tein S/H techs v.s. Eibach pro kit

I was wondering which lowering springs are better? Tein S/H techs or Eibach Pro Kit? And i was wondering if i will need a SPC camber kit both front and rear or just rear?
Please post pics for comparison

FWIW - I'm going with the Eibach Pro-Kits. I based my decision on the reviews I've read in this forum. I love the subtle, yet noticeable drop (specially in the front).

Also, If you're worried about tire wear, as long as you go to an alignment shop after you install the springs, you will be fine. They will be able to set the toe within spec.

yeah true but with every aftermarket spring you still cannot get it back to factory spec and only a camber kit can do that. on eibach your dont need it but its recommended and on tein i think you definately need it

I was only talking about toe settings. As for camber, I agree, you will need a camber kit to get it back to factory spec. Unless you're saying that toe cannot be adjusted back to spec without a camber kit?

I ordered the Eibachs as well. Nothing but great reviews.
The Tein's were too low for me. And yes, go with camber kits, either one you end up with.

Front camber kits not out yet. Couple of us posted alignment results with Eibach Pro-kit and rear camber kits here: https://www.myg37.com/forums/brakes-and-suspension/185326-eibach-pro-kit-results-close-up-pictures-of-results.html. See post 25 and 27.

Wait until Tein realeses their springs for the G37 at the beginning of the year. The drops should be around if not the same height. The ride quality should be better since the will be made to handle the G37 added weight, and that should help to ease up a little on the shocks & struts.
