Ordering 20" CV7 how much should I lower my 2013 g37x sedan?
Should I get the Eibach pro-kit or sportline?
The pro-kit lowers it 1-1.5" and the sportline lowers 1.7-2.3"?
I'm not trying to lower it a crazy amount just trying to close the gap up.

Eibach will close the gap "enough". I wouldn't go any lower than that. And I would also recommend getting a camber kit or else you won't be able to align into spec.

I had my car lowered on Eibach springs with 20" wheels. Didn't require camber kit. Toe and camber still within factory specs.

Get it checked out by alignment shop before deciding if you need it or not.

Good to know AMai... I'm looking switching to the Eibach springs once I get my stock 19" coupe wheels on because I will want a bit more of a drop to close the wheel gap.

IIRC, I believe Eibachs fit the X sedan... PROOF haha

Swifts are also good - that's what I have now. The drop is moderate. If you want a good reasonble drop with little wheel gap, I'd go for the Eibachs.... or coilovers...

Eibach stated that their drop is like 1.5" in the front and 0.8" in the rear. Once the pro kit was installed, the drop was more like 2" in the front and a little over 1" in the rear.

I'm loving the ride now that I swapped out my 20"s for the 19" sport wheels and OEM springs. The gap is there, but not that bad.

Do you have a picture? I'd like to see how the Eibachs look on your G

Go to my profile and you'll see the car. The car may sit a tad bit lower because of the 30-profile tires.
