Sorry about the boat load of questions but -
How's the ride feel in them?
Did you put in camber kits?
Did they settle in yet?
What's the wheel gap space now?
Thanks!

More firm. Not uncomfortable, but noticeable. Most times I'm not even thinking about the ride though, which leads me to believe it is not harsh.
Did you put in camber kits?
You will need a camber kit on the rear to get anywhere in the ballpark for specs. The front will be borderline, but it's likely you will need a front as well to get into factory specs. I went with both.
Did they settle in yet?
Good lowering springs don't really settle. This is a pretty common myth that floats around this forum. Cheap springs sag.
What's the wheel gap space now?
My car sits at an even 27" front and rear. This equals less than an inch of fender gap roughly.
Thanks!
Source: I have Eibach on my X as well. Hopefully this helps.

Noticed you're in IL. Do you drive the G in the snow? How is it when lowered? I'm in NE, and this is the only thing holding me back now.

I haven't driven the G in the snow yet, but I'm not worried about it at all. I have read about other people doing fine in the snow on the Eibach drop. My previous car was lower to the ground and FWD and snow was not an issue with Continental DWS tires. This leads me to my next point. The factor that determines how your car will be in the snow is the tires, not so much the height of the car. Unless you are driving in enough snow to touch the bumper (probably about 5 inches) there really isn't much of a difference.

Tires! Tires! Tires!

The 20mm spacers do so much.. I'd love to have the flush look, just kinda skeptical about spacers.
