Not really. Other then having to pay more attention to the road. The ride in my opinion is much better.

No issues with the splash guards because of height no. I have scrapped the exhaust piping, cats, connecting points on the exhaust, drive shaft brace. so far......

I wonder what spring is going to have the least drop?
Eibach pro kit? H- Techs? I saw the H & Rs and I didnt like the drop at all...

i do not like them slammed but low as in low that you see no gaps but does not cover any of the tires.

part of the reason why u guys think its a tad too low is cause hes on OEM 19s...wait till he goes plus 1 and gets some wheels on there and the increased gap hold even out better for a more stock sporty look...

If u want a real subtle drop in fact one that will look just a tad more narrow than factory fender gap with plus 1 wheels then go with the H-tech's from Tein it should keep the ride and handling virtually the same (just a lil tighter)....It should do about .8 on the front and .5 in the back....!

Also I have a question. Since G35 springs are spec'd for a car that is 300 lbs lighter doesnt that affect the tension/rebound rate/absorbence of these spring on our overweight g37s? To the springs it would be like a G35 with 2 extra people sitting in it. So just imagine when we have 1-2 extra people - then it would be even more weight on em'....Then it would be like 400-500 lbs more weight than a G35 with driver only...just something to ponder on...its kinda why i ight wait for g37 spec'd springs....I DUNNO.....FEEDBACK?

yeah, im waiting for more springs to come out. i emailed tein about the g37 and have not gotten a response yet. eibach has some out for the g37, 1-1.5 drop. i just want something that would hide the gap.
