Finally got the courage to go for a drop! Always been a little skeptical cause of flooding here in Tampa and having to be cautious about parking blocks/speed bumps/pot holes etc, but figured what the hell! This is about an hour after install, but there was a large difference immediately. pictures almost don't do it justice. I was so surprised how big a difference getting lowered by only about an inch makes when looking at the wheel gap in person. Should have done this a long time ago lol.
Ride quality feel ever so slightly... more firm. I don't think it feels necessarily stiffer but when i went over the speed bumps in my association the car feels more planted to the ground and i don't feel like i get popped up out of my seat. Also noticed I can feel more of the road when going over small cracks or hitting those recessed light things in the lines on the highway, not that it is uncomfortable - but I'm definitely more aware of riding over stuff.
Overall I'm super stoked about how the front closed up and how driving feels slightly sportier. I have a feeling I might be a little lower than the 1.2/0.8 eibach labels for the pro-kit, since I'm already just about that now immediately after install.... but after a week I'll take a pic, measure and compare again to see if it settles more, if at all.
to do list:
IPL Front bumper in the next week or two (already ordered)
painting headlights when I swap bumpers
Eibach Sway bars get installed later this week
Alignment 1 week from today
Wheel Spacers ???? (trying to decide if worth the $ or if I want new wheels/tires later this year)
Roof and Door handles vinyl wrapped black
AK v2 Diffuser, carbon fiber
swap out injen SRI for stillen gen3 CAI

I have a 2014 Q60 S and I put Eibach's on yesterday. At the same time I added sways front and back as well as spacers. I went with 20mm on front and 25mm rear. Not only does it llok great now it handles like on a rail with the stiffer sway bars combined with the nes springs.
check https://www.myg37.com/forums/build-t...coupe-5at.html for more recent photos. things didn't really settle any further after 2-3 days.
Wait until the springs settle. It will all make sense when you are trying to figure out what happened to your tires.
