I had an '01 Accord sedan with Megan Racing coilovers dropped nicely. I got the G35 sedan and put on Tein Basics and went lower, with 20's and thinner tires (as opposed to stock on the Accord) and the ride quality was still MUCH better.

It does make a difference!
Sways bars don't give you a smoother ride, they just stiffen the chassis to make turning and hugging the corners tighter. And yes, swaybars are good, you'll notice the difference right away.

My point was that there are other parts that affect the way the car rides other than the springs or coilovers. I never mentioned they provide a smoother ride.

true. jibber you misread he said that "Sway bars themselves make a big difference in ride comfort and quality". You just inferred that sway bars make the car ride smoother

hahhah this thread went to far. . i forgot to mention im not rich and the army doesnt pay me enough to right away buy some coils. . What i really meant to say was I want to go low but no too low just enough to looks nice cuz sometimes springs isnt low enough. i just want to ride smooth and be low at the same time and still keep the reliability.if the coilovers are the best bang for your buck then ill get those but if the springs will do the job quite well then so be that. thats what i really meant sorry for the misunderstanding guys and by the way i love this forums you guys are bunch of help.

^ then spring is the answer...Eibach spring is low as hell....
There are lots of pics about tein s-techs and h-techs. If u want to lower more, then look up Z-h tech or s tech. camber kit is recommended. Also if u want even drops, look up the spring mount mod.

Camber Kit

I just bought the Eibach Pro Kit Springs for my G, I know people say that its recommended to get camber kit if the car is dropped more than 1 inch but the Eibach drop is exactly an inch. (Front 1.1, Rear 1). I know it can be better for the tires but is it really necessary?

You'll definitely want a camber kit. Otherwise you'll drop 3 times the amount on new tires. Someone already posted about that in this thread.
