GVA: Coupe on Eibach PK with 19's and 20's

If you have a coupe in the GVA on Eibach PK with 19's or 20's and don't mind giving up about 15 minutes of your time I'd really appreciate if you could take me for a short ride to see how the comfort compares to stock.

Reason:

I'm coming from a 335i. I had KW coilovers, 19's, tune, etc. etc.

I'm really trying not to mod my G37 at all. At the most I'm thinking of springs because it looks really high stock (but I don't want to do this if it's really bumpy - I'm into my 30's now and want comfort). I might get another set of wheels so that I have summer/winter sets.

TIA.

PM please if you can help out.

i don't have eibachs, but ive seen many people complain about the ride being bouncy
you should look into tanabe springs, very subtle drop, few members say its as close as oem feel

i drove my buddy's with eibachs and it was a little bumpy.


All in all...
If you want the best. Go KW. If you want a subtle drop with decent comfort. Go with eibach or tanabe.

Thanks for the offer. I'll try to msg you when I know when I'll be out that way next.

Yes, I've had KW's on a 335i. I know they are the best, and normally this is the route I would go. Right now I'm prepared to spend about 7-8g on mods. My average mod total per the last 3 cars I've had is about 8-10g.

What I'm trying to do is not spend any money on this car. However, seeing as how the front end is so high, I'm hoping that I can get away with just Eibach or Tanabe springs (hoping). I honestly don't mind the stock 19's for wheels (despite not being very flush).

As I type this I'm realizing that resistance may be futile...dammit. I also need to pay for a wedding soon and move up in house size...so, the SMART thing to do would be to leave it stock, but I may at the very least put just a mild drop on it.

Just had Eibach pro kit installed a few days and ride quality is the same with no noticeable difference other than the car looking a lot nicer now.
