Eibach mini review w/more to come

Just installed my Eibach Pro Kit on Wednesday night. Let me tell you, I was glad I had some help because this would probably not have happened without it. The spring compressor is the main thing here. If you don't have the right one then it gets very tricky and pretty frustrating, even with a Miller Lite stocked cooler. The DIY on here is very helpful and what I followed until the spring compressor being used didn't compress enough. Then it came down to using the G's weight as the compressor and takes a litte rigging to get it into place.

It's raining here in Houston so haven't done a lot of "spirited" driving yet. From what I can tell so far it's going to be a little more fun driving the G around. Stock setup was an "S" but these things are much better taking a turn and the only way I have had the chance to test them was on a u-turn under the freeway. MUCH better than before. Just going down the road actually feels better IMO too. Feels a bit smoother than stock. Def stiffer but not a jarring effect by any means.

The drop is perfect for me and now I can't wait to get my spacers in.

Pics to follow once the rain stops.

Oh, and thanks to **Loi** for a great price on these. Cleanup them up nice and were very well packaged. Things looked brand new!

A few (crappy) pics. Sorry, camera lens won't open so bberry is best I can do for now. First pic = before on front and then the after 2nd. Others are after pics...before pics suck but I think we all know what that looks like.

Roads have dried and it was fun today! Loving the ride.

Looks good..! I'm debating between the Tanabe and Eibach springs for my sedan. I think I'm considering the Eibach's because (I've read) the Tanabe's squat the rear end more and I'm worried it'll make the sedan look unbalanced...

Cheers...

Looks good- I've got some Eibach fronts with Tanabe rears I'm going to hopefully install soon. Be sure to let me know if you ever see me driving around midtown.

Put a pic on your profile so I know what I'm looking for. There are a ton of 37's around but not many that I see are modded.
