Side by side Eibach results *pics inside*


Well I must say I like the looks of the car a LOT more now. It really needed a drop. The Eibach sways and springs really tighten up the car without reducing too much ride quality. Overall, I'm pleased with how much more neutral the car is now and the reduction of wheel gap. Here are some pics of the final product...

They say an inch, but I think it was a bit more than that. I would say more like 1.25-1.30". Ride isn't bad at all. I attribute the stiff ride more to the tires than the springs really. I've ridden in Eibach lowered cars that are a lot stiffer than this is now. Very pleased with the whole thing.

Re: Side by side Eibach results *pics inside*

Did you have it done or do it yourself?

If you don't mind my asking, what is the cost?

Thanks!

I installed the sways myself but had the springs done at a shop. Spring install and complete alignment ran me $300.

Re: Side by side Eibach results *pics inside*

Am I the only one thinking, "This is pretty subtle." Looks wise at least. I'm a G35x owner and lowering is one of the first mods I've considered. Especially because of the added ride height of the 4wd platform. Looking at the side by side pics, I see the height difference at the bumpers but I just don't think, visually, the fender gap looks much different, it's certainly not dramatic by any stretch of the imagination. I guess I'm not ready to plunk down $500 - $1000 for something that probably won't give a better payback for my G35x.

By the way, XCELR8, your car is fantastic and were it not for my need of a four door, I would be in a beautiful coupe too.
