Sunn's G37, if the question was meant for me, I am not using a camber kit. I don't mind the look. The drop I got with the Eibachs is conservative, which was perfect for me as I didn't want to have to do anymore to the suspension while trying to get rid of the wheel gap. Alignment hasn't been an issue as far as pulling goes, funny thing is that I had gotten an alignment done just a few days before I dropped the car, since the dealer felt I needed one after the corrected my steering wheel position (it had been installed crooked after they replaced it under warranty).
I'll monitor the wear on the tires. I just got my car, so the tires are pretty new.
As far as vibration goes, I've taken it to almost 90mph (just to test the spacers, of course...
) and didn't feel any other-than-normal road feedback.
I love the way my car looks now, it looks more aggressive, like a completely different car. It even handles different...

Gville37, I chose to go with H&Rs. They are hubcentric and, for what I read, better than the ichibas, which are a lot cheaper. I bought the DRM type (they are bolt ons), and got them online for about 280 delivered. I had thought about the DRS type of spacer (you have to remove the discs and replace all studs for longer ones, that way they will hold both, the spacer and the wheel. Don't know whether the kit comes with longer studs or not) which is cheaper too, but it involved more work, and many forums members told me that the DRMs (bolt ons) are stable.

And your steering was basically off centre ... who ever did the last alignment job, messed up ... glad you had it fixed !!

I was actually referring to OP's car but just noticed yours and man it looks nice !! perfect stance for a stock look.
Yours is probably the best Eibach dropped G on the rear cause you did the spring cushion mod. Otherwise Eibach sits a bit high on the rear.

With stock tires 20MM is perfect, I did 15MM, but just wasnt enough, sold the 15s. stayed with 20s.
25MM is too rice with stock tires.
Below: Eibach drop with another 1/2" cut from the rear spring cushion.
15MM rear, 20MM front, but I have 275 and 245, causing a bigger stagger.
With that setup, my track front to rear is dead even.

Any sedan owners have spacers on their stock 18"s? I'm thinking 20mm all around but I thought I'd check to see if anyone had already done this and maybe had a pic?
I also just ordered my F/R camber kit after I lowered on Eibach PK so I want to have a nice, flush look.
Thanks guys.... (not sure if it matters, but I have a 09G37XS)

Hey Guys i have a problem here!!! I installed Eibach prokit coil springs on stock shocks and installed Vossen CV3 deep concave wheels. At the beginning everything was awesome. But now i heard some squicky noise coming from the suspension. when i removed the rear wheels i noticed that my wheels were rubbing on the shock!!!!! Now i have to change all the shocks because i think they are done. I have no spacers because the wheels were almost flush everywhere. I dont have a camber kit. What should i do? nd wha kind of socks should i go with? Thanks to all!

sounds like you need a spacer to push the rim out... only option unless you want to make your rims narrower some how

I chose to purchase the bolt-on type of spacer. I wanted to get the other type you are asking about, but did not want to add more work to the project, I was really excited to get those spacers in!
To Maxime1979, I had lowered my G with the Eibachs first and installed the spacers afterward. Well, when I took it to the shop to have the H&Rs installed, I noticed some rubbing on the shocks, I just cannot remember whether the rubbing was seen on the rear struts or the front, or both. Funny thing is, I never felt anything, and I'm glad they didn't break. Of course, I am on stock wheels, so that helped. Your Vossens are pretty wide, and you might just need a small spacer to help out, maybe a 5mm and a camber kit will do the trick...
