I rubbed on the bumper bracket slighty but was able to trim it, but thats also with wider tires. With the Eibach springs I will admit they are pretty bouncy at times. If you are worried about ride quality than you should just go with a set of coilovers. That way you can adjust everything how you want. A lot of people say the Tanabe coils ride really well.
thanks a lot for the help...g37Sam's car has badass stance. I think i'll also go with Stoof's advice on the rims. Gotta take baby steps, especially in this crappy weather in Philly. I'm definitely thinking of Vossen Wheels in the spring. So in the winter i'll focus on the headlights and get those tailights with the GTR look done. Then in the spring do the goods to the car.

Wakeboard, how much of a drop does your car have? Also if you didn't have the drop do you think you would have any rubbing problems?

By far I think what you have is the cleanest look I have seen so far, I can't stand when people stretch a smaller tire to fit on a larger rim and the sidewall goes in at a 45 deg. angle instead of straight up. I think if SRG had the stock wheels painted the dark gunmetal color from the GTR's with the same set up as yours it would look killer.

It is quite a bit stiffer but I also have sway bars. The eibachs do ride rougher than stock though.

It dropped just under 1.5" in the front and about 1" in the rear. Before the drop there was no rubbing at all.

I'm also dropped on Eibachs with stock 19's and thinking about 20mm spacers all around. Can you please explain about the rubbing problems you've experienced? When I'm driving and hit dips in the road, I can hear the tires rub real quick sometimes. Will this get much worse once I install the spacers? Thanks

It might rub the wheel liner a little more on bumps, but the main thing was the rear tire rubbing the bumber bracket. I just trimmed it back with a drimmel and now it doesnt rub it any more.

What size tires are you running though?

I've got 275/35 on the rear and 245/40 on the front. Do you think that will work? I don't want to have to modify the fender too much to avoid rubbing.

Those are the same widths I'm running. If you go 20mm spacers you might have to trim the bracket just a bit. If you are to worried about it you could go with 15mm and should be fine.
