I'm checking out springs that will lower it the least. I'm more worried about the rear drop than the front and I really don't want to have to buy a camber kit.

Eibach springs.

blnewt linked me to some threads of g37s lowered just in the front, since it is the rear scraping that worries me. I never scrape the front.

I "measured" the gaps and it was 4 fitted fingers on front and 3 tight fingers in the rear. My fingers are normal fingers not that fat. If only I could fit a ruler to get a measure in inches.

Good to know about the Eibachs, since I could get their sways and springs set for a nice price.

Look at the lower front bumper corner, passenger side.

That might have something to do with Alfredo's ride height fears.

I actually have no idea how that happened. Just noticed it one day and was like: wth?

I'm more worried about the rear. I have already scraped my ARK exhaust and have to angle out every time I'm exiting my condo's underground parking.

Yes but are you sure? you don't have fat fingers? ... Lol jk.

+1 for the eibachs, minimum drop with good quality. I don't have them on my G, but I did have a Koni yellow/eibach shock & spring set up on my 00 prelude and I liked it a great deal.

Well for me im drop about 1.5inch to 2 all around was scraping but not the back. Thought it was until had my car on a lift i was my flex pipe that got beat up but everything else look fine. Im inly refering to mine because ur design is like mine.

I just measured it. This time with a real ruler. It was 2.5" gap in front and a 2.1" gap in rear.

A 0.7" drop in front and 0.3" on rear would be perfect for me. Too bad no one makes those

eibachs give a nice conservative drop that's what I have on my sedan and my stock rear camber at -1.8 which isn't too bad

I almost forgot about the possibility of a camber kit. How will I know if I need one?

This is a good read on the topic:

What is Camber and why do I need a camber kit? | eBay

My rears have just over -2* camber, and I recently took them off for winter. These have brand new PSS tires on them, now with 4000 miles applied, and they look absolutely fine to me. Tread wear is uniform and minimal. Same for the fronts, and they have under -2* camber.

Alfredo, I was very concerned about whether or not I would be buying a camber & toe kit after dropping the car. And I didn't want to, because I *wanted* the negative camber to bring in the wheels. Now that the season is over, I'm fairly confident in saying that I won't. However, I'll likely be buying adjustable end-links next year. So there's that.

You won't need a camber kit for eibachs. .. the drop isn't that aggressive. Oem camber arms got enough range for those.

I'm concerned since some who have dropped on Eibach have needed the camber kit. I think it depends on who aligns your car.

You could always try and find impul springs. I believe the published drop is 3/4 front and 1/4 rear.

If only they weren't so expensive and rare.
I'll still look into those to see what I can find.
