I have all the above mods done pretty much. Honestly barely felt anything except for sound (which was the main reason i did it). Tune made a little different, just nothing to brag about.

If you want power. Save your money & go FI

I would like to lower my G35, as I'm currently sitting on the stock suspension. I need to get rid of that wheel gap. I want to do it the right way though. I have been looking into the Eibach Pro-Kit Performance Springs and they seem to have positive reviews from other forum members. This is my daily driver, so I by no means want to slam the car. I just want a nice drop to eliminate the wheel gap.

Now, If I purchase this set of lowering springs, what else am I going to need? I'm assuming I need to buy a rear camber kit so my alignment won't go all out of whack. I want normal tire wear as this is my DD, so I don't want any negative camber unless there are positive benefits from this?

Also, would coilovers be a better option? I haven't really looked into this, but could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you!

Same here, I'm considering lowering my sedan with Eibach Pro-Kit, but also wondering what else do I need to do when lowering my car?

Front AND Rear camber kit would be needed. I daily drive mine as well and even the mild 3/4" drop from OEM Z Springs chewed up the inside of my front tires.

Negative camber would come into play if slamming the car, over size rims that need to "tuck", or maybe a track setup. For a DD, OEM specs would be ideal for tire longevity.

Thanks for your reply! I think I have a better idea now of what I need. Now, in terms of front and rear camber kits.. I don't even know where to begin. Do you have any suggestions on good products? What are you running?

I' am running the SPC front and rear camber kits and I love them. The offer great adjustability. The front control arms also offer caster adjustment as well. I haven't dad a single issue with them besides having to replace the ball joint on the right front control arm.

I'm really not a fan of springs, unless your doing shocks as well. FYI I'm selling my eibach's, they slammed my G way to far. 2.1"F and 1.6" R....I'm now on GR+ coilovers at about 1"drop, much better all around.

I mean everything adds up. They all have shows 5-10 hp increase on the dyno. Is it worth it? Not to me. It's barely noticeable.

Major ones are plenum spacer, intake, HFCs, exhaust, tune. Etc...

I'm thinking you have the Sportline Springs. The Pro-Kit advertises a much milder drop. I'm not looking to slam my G, as it's my daily driver.

For everyone else, what camber kit are you running? Some links would really be helpful.

So, I wanna black out my grille. What's the best way to do it, plasti-dip or vinyl wrap? I don't wanna paint it in case I ever wanna go back.

Vinyl wrapping would be a biitch on a grill.

Black looks way better on all colors. Go for it! Also stock grills can always be found in the market place for cheap
